Leadership and transformation of people management processes

Services designed to support companies in the adaptation of their management practices regarding people and teams in this new era of digital transformation, innovation and constant change.

We work with company management and the heads of human resources management areas to define the renewal and change agenda required to adapt to the new world of work and achieve sustainability of the business strategy in the future.

We assist leaders in the implementation of the change agenda defined through the development of leadership competencies for team leaders, the evaluation and attraction of talent to fill key positions and the adaptation of all people management practices (remunerations, performance management, teleworking, competency-based management, and implementation of people management systems, among others).

  • Development of Leadership Competencies

    We lead in a new era in which technology is the protagonist, knowledge work predominates, and we are experiencing profound social changes. 

    Leaders recognize the need to prepare, adapt and change their outlook and management style, to continue achieving the desired results.

    We have developed a Leadership Area to help leaders to better understand themselves and their teams, and to achieve the goals set for themselves and their organization. 

    The Leadership Programs are developed in open mode, with 2 annual editions. They can also be held in-house (in each company), and with different scopes and duration, according to the needs of each organization.

  • Employer Branding

    We support companies in the analysis of their current and desired Employer Brand positioning, identifying actions to shorten the existing gap, using design thinking techniques in the process. Our service includes:

    • Workshop and focus group to survey and diagnose employee experience
    • Analysis of the company's social media positioning

  • Analysis and Redesign of the Employee Experience

    We work together with our clients to understand and analyze the current work experience of collaborators from their point of view (how they perceive their day-to-day life in the company), and based on that, we support a reflection on the validity, consistency, credibility and sustainability of the current value proposition offered to the employee. 

    We work in small groups, based on the Design Thinking methodologies, both for the analysis of the current experience and for devising and co-building the renewed value proposition.

  • Teleworking

    It is not unusual for organizations to have people who work from outside the office at some point during their working week. However, most companies still lack a policy and a general model to take advantage of the full potential of teleworking, both for the employees and for improving productivity.

    We developed a methodology and a specific practice to accompany the process of definition and implementation of teleworking in organizations. The preliminary step is raising awareness of its importance among Senior Management. Subsequently, we provide a diagnosis of technical feasibility and the design and implementation of a bounded pilot experience. Finally, we manage its expansion to the rest of the organization.

  • Performance Evaluation and Management

    The new world of work driven by new generations requires changing the traditional approach to performance evaluation, giving way to more frequent instances, which are reinforced with 360° assessments and coexist with other management practices such as development plans, variable remuneration, management of career opportunities, project assignment possibilities and internal rotation, among others. 

    We assist our clients in the process of reviewing and adapting their performance evaluation procedure, both in the design of the policy and process, and in its implementation, including training for all involved: the human resources area and evaluating leaders. We also help define strategies to improve the performance of leaders and their ability to bridge the gaps that may arise in the 360° performance evaluation.

  • Design and Implementation of a Competency-Based Management Model

    We help design and implement people management models based on competencies as well as revitalize or enhance models in their early stages of implementation. We accompany all the stages of the process:
