If you want to know how to attract, retain and develop best-fit employees, the best people to ask how to do it are your current employees. We’ve developed very effective ways to ‘listen’ to employees as part of integrated people development programmes. These include:

• Employee Net Promoter Score surveys – we call these 'Why would I want to work here' surveys and we provide these in multiple languages and across multiple territories for both B2C and B2B companies
• Listening Labs – these are in-depth facilitation workshops with volunteer employees that create employee-generated priorities for action

Because we look at everything from a communications perspective, we understand what impact an employee’s natural behavioural preferences will have on the way they go about their work and how they interact with others. Using our expertise with C-Me colour profiling*, we help our clients select employees that have behaviour that is well matched to the needs of a specific job role.

*C-Me colour profiles have been optimised for use in recruitment and then personal development. We help you to use these at all steps in the employee journey. There are free summary reports accessed via an App to help at the sifting stage and more detailed personal profiles that can aid decision-making at the shortlist stage.

We use them in an intelligent and sequenced process for:

We add colour profiling to other sifting techniques you already use, to ensure that shortlisted candidates have natural behavioural preferences that are well matched to the job role concerned. There’s no point hiring an eclectic thinker if you need someone with rigorous attention to detail.

We help by:

• Creating a perfect colour profile for the target job
• Providing you access to a free App that enables every applicant to share a summarised colour profile with you
• Guiding you on how to interpret what you receive to produce the optimum shortlist for interview.

Once you’ve created a shortlist for interview – or for attending a recruitment assessment day - we provide value in the following ways:

• Access to an enhanced colour profiling report at a cost of just £4.99. The applicant can pay and be reimbursed at interview. The extra detail can help you to ask insightful questions at the interview
• Consulting advice on sample questions to ask applicants based on their profile and preferences
• Support at interviews and observing group exercises at assessment days.

But we don’t stop at helping you to recruit people who are well matched to their roles - we also help you to ensure that the people you hire rapidly become an effective part of the team. We do this by delivering highly targeted training that draws on the insight provided by the Colour Profiles. We also use our unique Training Labs to identify exactly what training is required to meet the needs of the business and the people in the business. The Lab takes up to seven employees through a series of facilitated exercises to ‘surface’ the areas of greatest training need.

The beauty of the C-Me colour profiling system is that it enables you to produce reports of increasing depth and value as the seniority and importance of the employee increases. For example we can provide access to:

• A report for just £25 which can be the foundation for an induction process tailored to a person’s natural preferences; a PDP or, a team interaction plan
• A 10 to 12 page report for £65 which provides significant depth for more senior personnel
• A similar report at £99 which looks at the individual in the context of team interaction.
