Greetings! During the long, hot days of summer, each of us seeks out ways to refresh and reinvigorate and we find ways to reenergize through vacation time, long weekends and some "down time". As a result of taking that well-deserved time off, a great opportunity has been presented to clear your minds, avoid the multi-tasking trap, and, as the recent thought leadership indicates, this clarity of mind will often lead to new ideas, strategies, visions, and actions for improving our workforces and organizations. As we head into the early fall, this is the ideal time to implement many of those innovative and strategic ideas! As you continue to see the need for further developing leaders, emerging leaders, and other professionals, we recommend exploring the increasing impact of professional coaching. We have a faculty of highly-experienced coaches with varied skill sets who will help guide and mentor your high potential employees and leaders. In addition, the ongoing transition of older workers who are retiring, or leaving full time work to move into part time or independent work roles, continue to grow and require innovative solutions for emerging challenges in the engagement, retention, and development of your workforce. Here are some frequent questions asked recently by our clients:
-
Are you faced with the challenge of developing orientations, on-boarding programs, training, or learning solutions for remote or geographically dispersed employees? We have expert online learning designers who will work closely with you to successfully implement those programs!
-
Do you have leaders, emerging leaders, and other professionals whose business or interpersonal results would be greatly enhanced by professional coaching? The launch of our brand-new Coaching Center at UMDI provides you with a "go-to" resource for all of your coaching needs!
-
In today's rapidly changing business world, every organization needs a clear picture of its capabilities. How do you measure up? An increasing use of professional assessments can be a valuable approach to confirming talent and deploying it effectively. We can help you do this!
