Most organisations would attest to this truism. However, there are regular opportunities, frequently missed, to boost organisational performance through enhanced individual contributions. People with the continuing and active backing of their employer will be naturally more inclined to add more value. Many would acknowledge that the two-way understanding between employer and employee has perhaps changed over the last generation or so. Previously a paternal and benevolent employer would offer a job for life and get genuine loyalty and hard work in return. Increasingly senior managers and executives appear to feel they must leave an organisation in order to progress their careers, for which they now consider themselves solely responsible. It seems the unspoken contract could now be characterised as one of value-adding contribution in return for enhanced career prospects based on accrued skills and experience. PGC can help reinforce the positives in the relationship between organisation and individual. By investing in an appropriate and personally tailored development programme, not only will the potential of the individual to contribute be increased, they will in turn feel more valued and wanted. Such investment not only demonstrates a shared on-going commitment to progress together, it will also augment the business skills and knowledge of the individual and thereby the organisation. Greater self-awareness of personal and professional strengths and weaknesses can and does act as the basis for more targeted and effective future education, training and development in its various forms. PGC’s Management Audit & Assessment services provide an objective, non-threatening and analytical approach to identifying where and how an organisation and its senior managers can get more out of each other.
