Team developmentA service to organisations that want to optimise team performance. Using a range of valid assessment techniques (e.g. MBTI, OPQ), team members learn about their own team styles and preferences, and how individual team styles affect overall team effectiveness. Techniques for improving team performance are identified to meet the particular requirements of the team. Workshops are conducted by organisational psychologists with a depth of experience in group facilitation techniques, team goal-setting and team development planning. Organisational surveysAllworth
Juniper has the capability to run on-line organisational surveys (team
effectiveness, climate, culture, customer feedback).
We can assist managers to design surveys that are fully customised to
elicit the information they require or, alternatively, draw on existing
validated questionnaires. Our expert
analysis provides organisations, managers and employees with information to
support strategic planning, relationship building, team building, job
satisfaction, organisational change etc. Our
capability in this area is supported by:
Behavioural interview skills trainingBehavioural
selection techniques have been shown to lead to better selection decisions. As a
core aspect of the recruitment process, the use of structured behavioural
interview techniques can add value to an organisation's selection procedures. Our
behavioural interviewing skills training program is designed for HR
practitioners, line managers and anyone else involved in the interviewing of job
candidates. Through
very practical and informative workshops, participants learn and practice skills
of designing interview questions to assess specific competencies, establishing
the criteria against which interview findings are evaluated, and conducting
behavioural interviews. For further information, please download our brochure on Behavioural Interviewing Skills Training. Management training in best practice in recruitment and selectionAllworth
Juniper is able to provide training to managers and others involved in the
recruitment process in best practice recruitment and selection techniques. Learn

Job and competency analysisAllworth
Juniper utilises a range of structured job analysis techniques to develop a
comprehensive profile of a job or job family for organisations. The job and
competency profile derived from the analysis provides the foundation for a range
of human resources functions including selection, training, and performance
appraisal. The
profile developed provides a detailed description of the task and skill
requirements of the role, the criteria for success, and the personal attributes
required to perform the role. Feedback skills workshopGiving
feedback is an essential skill for anyone who manages or coaches people or works
with others in a team. Feedback is a
positive, helping act, and can be the key to growth for people.
They want to be able to recognise what they do well so that they may
enhance these strengths, and they also wish to be made aware of any part of
their performance that could be improved and/or further developed. Our
feedback skills workshop is useful for anyone managing, developing or coaching
others, anyone working as part of a team, or anyone responsible for managing
workplace disagreements or conflict. It
focuses not only on how to give effective feedback but how to receive feedback
as well. While
the program can be customised to suit specific organisational needs, the modules
covered include a model for giving constructive feedback, communication skills
including active listening techniques, guidelines for giving and receiving
feedback, pitfalls to avoid in the feedback process, and interactive role-play
exercises designed to provide participants with opportunities to practise their
feedback skills. Coaching skills workshopIn
recent years, it has become increasingly important for managers to act as
coaches in order to improve individuals’ skills in solving their own problems,
to reinforce performance expectations and to encourage and motivate their team.
Through
content sessions and considerable interactive role-plays, our coaching skills
workshop aims to build the critical skills that form the communication standards
for any coaching discussion. To
ensure maximum application of the theory, participants are encouraged to use
“real” scenarios in the role-plays. This
provides them with opportunities to practise coaching discussions before
actually carrying them out in the workplace, and makes the session even more
meaningful for them. The
length of the workshop may vary between 1.5 and 3 days, with a half to one day
follow up session several weeks after the workshop.
This should allow time for participants to practise their skills during
actual coaching discussions. For further information, please download our brochure on Coaching Skills Workshops. |
