We focus on the well-being of your employees during times of change.
Our services
We excel at storytelling, helping you build compelling change stories, executive communications, and employee engagement campaigns to support your business goals. We take the time to get to know your organization and its unique culture. In the end, our strategies increase your employees’ sense of belonging and greater understanding of their roles during times of change.
Our expertise includes facilitation, all aspects of change management, leadership coaching or training, strategic communications, and knowledge-building strategies for employees. We focus on the PEOPLE side and provide a roadmap for your organization to realize its full potential during times of transformation.
Strategic Communications
It all begins with a story. If your company is changing strategic direction or upgrading technology that requires significant process changes or skill-building, the change story is essential to inspire your employees to fully take part. The central change story is woven through a communications campaign, and, if implemented, any related training.
Maybe you want to boost morale and inspire employees to reach an important organization-wide goal—or have a creative project to share with your industry partners. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story can make all the difference.
Our approach is creative and layered, with particular attention to the culture and people of your organization and how and from whom they prefer to receive information.
Leadership Coaching & Training
The central tenet of leadership is the ability to guide and influence others to move toward a common goal. Change leadership is a particular competency requiring strategy, communications, and visible engagement.
We develop executive strategies for guiding organizational transformation and specific change projects, providing communications support and suggesting points of engagement. For large change or transformation efforts, we also work with executives to determine the right leadership coalition to develop in order to steer an organization successfully through the change.
Change leadership training is also available for organizations that want to build overall change agility and literacy throughout the organization. We offer change leadership assessments and training to equip your leaders with important skills and techniques, tailored to your organization’s unique needs and leadership structure.
Change Management
Moving an organization through change takes planning and intention. Velvære offers change management services that match your project or organizational needs, whether an enterprise-level change framework and full-scale implementation of change management practices or smaller, project-based change management tailored to a specific change.
As well, we offer “augmented” change management for a change already implemented but not reaching target participation rates. Using a human-centered approach, we get to know your people and the way they work so that we can assess change readiness, identify specific resistance points, and develop a winning strategy.
Our strategies include in-depth analyses, communications plans, training strategies, and continuous improvement avenues.
Knowledge-Building and Enablement
We enable employees through training that builds helps employees gain skills and a greater understanding of the need for overall need for change in an organization.
We begin our engagement with a learning needs assessment. By understanding the way your employees prefer to learn, we can design learning solutions that maximize your organization’s overall success with transformation.
Learning strategies may include personalized learning solutions, leveraging technology and designed to align with business goals. If appropriate, the strategy may also include knowledge-sharing and continuous learning opportunities.
Note: Change Management strategies include a learning component based on detailed analysis and designed to reinforce overall organizational goals.
