Becoming an “Employer of Choice”
Attracting and Retaining Talent in a Competitive Workplace
Being an
“Employer of Choice” is no longer an option.
People either want to work for you or they don’t!
What
do employees want?
According to an
international study that surveyed 17 million employees in 40 countries
around the world, across 32 different Standard Industrial Codes, the top
four responses were:
-
to be told the truth
-
to be trusted
-
to be given help when needed
-
have management listen to their ideas
In other words...workers want to work in a culture of
trust, freedom and accountability.
In his recent book Good to Great, Jim Collins describes what the
eleven companies who made the leap to “great” did to sustain
their position in the marketplace:
-
Built a culture around freedom and responsibility...within a
framework
-
Fill that culture with self-disciplined people who are willing
to go to extreme lengths to fulfill their responsibilities
-
Don’t confuse a culture of discipline with a tyrannical
disciplinarian
-
Adhere with great consistency to the “hedgehog concept”
What is this framework that fosters freedom and
responsibility? How do you attract...and support self-disciplined
people? What kind of leadership is needed to develop this culture?
What are the bottom-line benefits of all this, anyway?
This session will provide an overview for
transforming the culture in your organization and how to involve all
employees in the change process. In fact, only when you have the buy-in
of all employees can you be an "Employer of Choice".
At this
session you will:
-
Explore the major challenges facing business today
-
Understand the benefits of being an “employer of choice”
-
Identify barriers in your own organization to attracting and
retaining talent
-
Learn what is necessary to create and lead a “trust-based”
organizational culture
“Never
change things by fighting the existing reality. Instead, build a NEW
model that makes the existing model obsolete."

Communications:
Can We Talk? Authentic Intimacy between Women & Men
How
can I…
- create
deeper connection with others?
- ask for what I want and need?
- be whole and comfortable in myself?
Designed for singles and couples who are seeking personal and spiritual
growth through intimate, caring relationships between women and men. We
explore ways to expand our capacities to love, nurture ourselves and
others using deep inquiry, reflection and movement. Learn simple yet
powerful communication skills that enhance both personal and
professional relationships.
Listening is More Than "Be Quiet!"
When you ask people what characteristics they admire in great leaders
they always mention "their ability to listen". Yet, we are never
really formally taught how to listen. From grade school through high
school we are required to be quiet. But being quiet is not listening.
Listening is an active process that requires discipline and finely
developed competencies.
This fun, informative and highly interactive workshop will teach you
powerful listening and communication skills that will equip you to:
-
Identify the five listening approaches
-
Recognize other people’s preferred styles
-
Create listening strategies for improved
relationships
Audience: All levels

Leadership, Team
and Individual Performance
Managing
Work Expectations and Transforming Attitudes
What Makes a Good Company Great? It’s the People.
Committed, productive employees are key to organizational success and a
healthy bottom line. The challenge, then, is retaining and developing
satisfied, committed employees. This program will help you and your
employees understand and manage your work expectations. Why? Because
people who have clearly defined, well-communicated expectations have
better attitudes and enjoy greater job satisfaction than people whose
expectations go unspoken or unrealized. And companies that employ
satisfied, successful people reap the rewards of increased productivity
and reduced turnover. In this program you will learn a practical model
for identifying and communicating expectations.
Audience: Management, supervisors, staff, front line

Transition/Change
Shift Happens!
Making the Most of Change
Are you ...
-
Going through
a personal or professional transition?
-
Managing a
change effort in your organization?
-
Interested in
learning how to capitalize on change?
-
Frustrated,
confused, or feeling paralyzed by the events around you?
-
Convinced
“change” is a four-letter word?
Constant change is a fact of life these days, especially
in the workplace.
One day your organization is going in one direction; the
next day, there are new priorities... or not. One day you know where
your career is headed; the next day, your career plan becomes obsolete
... or meaningless. Whether a change is welcome or not, we all go
through an inner reorientation process as we respond and adjust to
external changes around us. This process, known as TRANSITION proceeds
along three phases-ENDINGS, NEUTRAL ZONE and NEW BEGINNINGS-and is
almost always slower than the actual change.
In this practical and interactive workshop, you will
explore the three phases of transition and apply them to your personal
and professional circumstances. You'll gain insights into your own
'transition style,' learn how to tap your creativity and innovation at
each stage, and become more resourceful and confident in the face of
change. If you are leading a team, this workshop will also help you
understand and address some of the challenges you may be facing, giving
you fresh insights, tools, and resources.
We can help you SHIFT how you experience CHANGE!
