Services frequently requested include the following:

Corporate Psychological Assessment:

We use comprehensive, well established, and validated psychological instruments to improve understanding of an individual's intellectual, interpersonal, personality, motivational, and cognitive attributes. This information assists in hiring, promotion, remediation, and team development decisions.

Employee Evaluations:

Ongoing objective assessment and feedback to employees concerning their strengths and limits is vital to organizational efficiency. Combining psychometric instrumentation, work performance assessment, and evaluation by peers assists this process. More

Corporate Culture Change:

Organization leaders frequently desire to create more effective cultures. We assist them, their teams and their employees plan the change and effect it.

Management Coaching:

Managers often have sound technical abilities, yet their interpersonal, supervisory, or management behaviors impede effectiveness. Personal coaching increases an individual's awareness of effective behaviors and promotes change.

Team Development/Facilitation:

Effective organizations rely heavily upon effective teams. Professional assistance to help individuals learn productive team behaviors and to facilitate teams on an ongoing basis dramatically improves efficiency.

Executive Team Development/Facilitation:

This service helps top executives interact in a team format. Assisting in decision making, conflict resolution, strategic planning, and team dynamics assist in formulating effective decisions while easing destructive conflicts.

Family Business Consulting:

Family businesses are unique.  We assist in solving generational conflict, leadership issues, effective placement of family members and succession issues.

Key Employee Counseling:

Valuable employees often go through difficult life transitions that impair work performance. Difficulties within families, health concerns and emotional issues can filter into the workplace. Professional assistance in these areas can greatly help an individual adjust, adapt, change and return to productive work behaviors.

Succession Planning:

A must for all corporations.  We assist in identifying your strengths and preparing for a seamless flow into the next generation.

Job Transition Counseling:

Occasionally, an employee's abilities do not blend well with a job assignment. This often requires careful assessment, planning and movement to a new position. Services focused upon objective assessment and planning, as well as assisting in the transition are often quite valuable. At times, these services also focus upon an individual seeking employment outside of the organization.

Employee Recruitment:

Corporate psychology generally does not provide the total services of professional recruiters. Psychological services focused upon accurate job description, employment and placement, initial screening, in depth assessment, and facilitating the employment process are often utilized. This often can minimize the cost of professional recruitment or provide a valuable adjunct to these services.  We assist our smaller clients directly or select professional recruiters who specialize in a specific type of employee.  In either case, we assure careful evaluation and match to your job and your culture.
