To deliver the highest quality coaching and development support, we had to truly understand the leaders we would be working with. We created a customized half-day assessment course that combined psychometric assessments, role play, inbox simulation, structured interviews, skills assessments, and innovation exercises. We then analyzed all of this data to deliver individual development plans that identified strengths and areas for development linked to the strategic objectives of the business.
We used the individual development plans and internal 360° feedback to align ongoing executive coaching to key objectives and development priorities. The Ayers Group is home to highly experienced coaches, and we match every leader we support with a coach who is a strong fit for their unique needs. Our coaches worked closely with leaders to put their development plans into action and to identify and overcome personal and situational barriers to success.
This ongoing program has enjoyed great success. Several leaders have already been promoted and we have received extremely positive survey feedback. We are now overseeing our third cohort of leaders as a trusted strategic partner to Pacira. We have also expanded our support to employee engagement surveys, communications and EQ (emotional intelligence) workshops, and HR strategy planning sessions focused on HR trends.
