Learning & Development

An Integrated, Interactive Learning Approach
To tackle challenges managers face, it is critical to have learning framework that integrates all components of learning to the business strategy and Organizational Culture (OC). The learning framework must be interactive, designed to engage participants in both practice and application using real-world scenarios to accelerate the transfer of learning to the workplace.

This session is highly interactive and requires a high level of engagement from participants.

Bringing It All Together:
In this module, participants will have the opportunity to use all of the skills they have learned by working through a series of scenarios that run through an employee’s lifecycle. Five scenarios will be examined and a robust conversation will ensure the information presented was internalized and will be usable for future workplace scenarios.

Employee Engagement & Culture Surveys:
The HR Solutions by Design team will evaluate your current Organizational Culture (OC) based on your espoused and actual values, philosophies and actions (The OC Equation™) to identify the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats (SWOT) of your current values, norms and practices.

Data will be gathered using surveys, focus group discussions, small group meetings, marketing collateral, and random in-person and/or phone interviews to identify and communicate where further opportunity for improvement or enhancement may exist. Our recommendations will be aligned with your stated strategic growth goals. The outcome of the OC Assessment will be a definitive roadmap that can be used to leverage OC as a competitive advantage in the marketplace.
