Case study: Coulton Instrumentation Ltd |
(http://www.coulton.com/Pressure_transmitters)
Using the full funding available, Lesley worked with managing director Malvern Jones to improve Coulton’s recruitment and selection process. As part of the review all team members completed an online Belbin® Team Role analysis questionnaire and were de-briefed by Lesley on their Belbin® Self Perception report. In a group workshop facilitated by Lesley the Team examined the culture of the organisation and were then able to reach a consensus as to the type of person needed to fill the new Office Administrator role. Lesley worked closely with Malvern and senior team members to define the role, to review all company recruitment documentation and to design a robust interview process. This incorporated Belbin® Team Role analysis at the second interview stage. As a result Coulton were able to appoint successfully and are really pleased with the cultural fit of their new team member. |

Testimonial: Bizgen Ltd |
"Thank you very much for the recent training and consultancy you have carried out for Bizgen Ltd.
From the very start you and your colleagues have been a pleasure to work with, not just in relation to the training but also with regards to the administration of same.
After helping us to identify the training we needed as a team, you went on to help us apply for a grant to pay for a large percentage of it, prompting us and providing us with the information we needed at every stage.
The training itself was carried out to a very high standard while remaining enjoyable. Furthermore, you demonstrated an excellent ability to "role with the punches" and adapt the session to both the needs of the individual without losing sight of the team. This was very much appreciated by all involved and even after only a couple of short weeks, and with the follow up yet to be carried out, we are already seeing the benefits."
