Many organizations are becoming increasingly vulnerable in terms of their ability to retain key specialist staff, core skills, know-how and experience. We have developed the tools, technology and expertise to conduct comprehensive vulnerability analysis to determine the specific areas of a company’s vulnerability, i.e. staff being poached, headhunting, emigration, levels of staff discontent, etc. It is a known fact that staff would disclose their intentions, desires and concern much more openly to outsiders than would they to company officials.

Based on the vulnerability analysis results, we assist clients to develop counter strategies, customize and refocus mentorship programs, review compensation/incentive strategies and schemes, design specific protégé development/fast-tract programs, review succession planning, undertake regular culture/climate surveys, develop communication strategies, and undertake specialist recruitment/sourcing assignments.

We assist companies to cascade their strategic plan from executive level through the organization ensuring accountability and delivery on strategic objectives. Based on the corporate /company strategic plan, key performance areas and competencies are identified and taken down the organization, assigning specific responsibilities with measurable outcomes and standards to every person in the organization.

Our process and system includes the facilitation of strategy formulation, to the design of specific measurement and reward/incentive schemes.

We provide:

• Performance Management and rewards policy formulation
• Performance Management process and program customization and design
• Performance Management training at every level in the organization
