• Executive & Leadership Coaching

  Do you think your business can benefit from executive coaching? Even star athletes use coaches to help them reach a higher level of performance. In the same way, companies benefit from leadership coaching to help ignite passion, innovation, and performance that will spread throughout the organization. Industry surveys indicate that nearly 60 percent of large organizations currently offer leadership coaching to their managers and executives, with another 20 percent indicating they plan to offer executive leadership training in the next year.
  
  PeopleWorks International has an exceptional coaching program that is designed to accelerate development of a leader in support of the organization’s succession planning. During this process, we will identify the strengths of the leader that can be leveraged to improve effectiveness as well as address the gaps that would create obstacles to achieving optimal performance and advance to higher levels of responsibility.

• Employee Engagement

  Engaged employees are passionate about their work, feel empowered, valued, respected, and connected to their employer and their associates. They are advocates of their organization and consequently will exert exceptional discretionary effort to further the goals and performance of the company.
  
  If this doesn’t describe your employees, you are not alone. Unfortunately, according to Gallup, an “Engagement Gap” currently exists where roughly 50 percent of all working Americans are not fully engaged or are disengaged, which costs US businesses an estimated $300 billion a year in lost productivity. We specialize in assisting organizations of all sizes in building a culture of high performance and profitability by using an employee engagement strategy. Like any other key indicator, you must measure it if you want it to drive performance. The PWI Employee Engagement Survey will provide a baseline assessment that will identify strengths and gaps that will lead to an effective strategy.
