Happy New Year!

Everyone at OsCar would like to wish all our friends and clients huge success in 2010 and would love to help in making it the best year ever for you.

The New Year is often a time when changes are introduced to improve your business but what are the traps and pitfalls you need to avoid so that maximum benefit is obtained?

It is often the case that during change, not all the advantages you planned are achieved. We would like to suggest some of the common reasons why this happens and offer remedies to ensure you get the business improvement you want.

Training is a vital element in developing your staff but when combined with coaching you can achieve a far higher return on your training budget. OsCar enables the trainee to focus more and engage better to bring tangible results. Without this, you can find that the new knowledge is not applied and the whole process is not valued as it should.
Securing the engagement of your staff in support of your plans is a given but very often the lack of engagement is hidden from you. We have found that by running our 'surgeries' we can establish the level of commitment and determine what underlying issues are affecting it. We then run specific programmes to address these issues and get your people on board to drive your business forward.
Managers will frequently command and control but leaders have followers who listen and perform accordingly. These leaders may not be managers at all but do control the way your employees act, so it is of huge importance that their leadership skills are developed to radiate the vision that you have for the future. OsCar's leadership development programmes works to identify these people and develop them to achieve your ambitions.
Intelligent change is at the core of our personnel development systems. By combining coaching, training and process improvement you will gain a much higher return on your investment in continuous improvement or systems thinking.
Redundancies are often a necessary side effect of change and bring fear, anger and reduced performance in the employee pool both with those affected and not. Oscar has an impressive track record in getting those affected back into work (Over 90% to date) without a single employee tribunal in its history. This serves to keep your key staff who may now be thinking of leaving. If redundancies are likely to feature in your plans, please contact us in advance as it will make all the difference to your future business performance.
Communication is the key to unlocking the potential of your people during change. However, listening and understanding is quite different to hearing. Our work with organisations proves time and again that to get the message across, a good understanding of the psychology of the audience is necessary. Our techniques are designed to help you to ensure that everyone is on the same page to move your business forward.

Case Study

An interesting case that we have recently concluded is with an organisation providing highly sensitive research and development. Due to cutbacks a number of people had to be made redundant but it was vital that those remaining maintained their focus, enthusiasm and loyalty.

It was clear that those affected needed to find work quickly so that it could be seen to others that whilst this was not a welcome development it was something that the organisation was willing to help with. Each person was intensively coached, providing psychological support as well as practical assistance enabling each person to secure their new role within six weeks of been given the notices.

Some of these people were highly skilled in a very narrow field, whilst others were at a more basic level and entered a highly competitive market
