FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I start a path for employee growth?
First diagnosis, then action. Before we start working with you, we first make the correct diagnosis in a complimentary conversation to discuss your needs. What skills are lacking to reach the top?
What is your way of working?
We believe in experiencing and doing, not in old school teaching. We mix years of experience with theoretical models which will be put into interaction. Working with us means doing. In the office, in the classroom, or online, we let you experience.
Are the results accurate?
For most businesses, the right kind of employee training will be a great investment. It can be difficult to put a firm value on training, but rather than being skeptical, business owners should focus on working out what will add value to their company. Training can give employees new skills. If these lead to increased productivity or quality, then the long-term financial benefits to the business are likely to outweigh the cost of the training itself. However it is important that you realizes that the training itself can create awareness and develop skills, but it doens’t stop there. To realize an optimal result you should inbed that what is learned in day-to-day work situation (individual cases) or try to make it part of the DNA / culture of the company (department or organizational issues).
