Our Services
Fernald & Co. provides objective, performance-based solutions for harnessing your organization’s people power. By combining the use of our employee selection tools and our talent development programs, we help managers identify and capitalize on each team member’s strengths as well as address areas of limitation.
01.
Employee Selection
Fernald & Co.’s pre-employment screening tool add penetrating objectivity to employee selection. Hiring has a lot in common with dating—everyone wants the ultimate choice to be “the one.” The closer employers get to a final decision, the more at risk they are of making a faulty selection based on how much they “like” the candidate. This bias is often compounded by a limited candidate pool and an urgent need to fill a position. Fernald & Co. helps hiring managers to see beyond their own biases and the candidate’s interview mask to better predict future performance—3, 6, and 12 months down the road.
02.
New Hire Integration
Common wisdom and research indicate that effective on-boarding programs significantly enhance productivity (for both new hires and their co-workers), employee retention, and most importantly customer satisfaction. Fernald & Co. offers a powerful on-boarding program to complement your organization’s new hire practices.
03.
Talent Development
With penetrating accuracy, Fernald’s talent development program identifies the professional strengths, weaknesses, and preferences of individual team members.
Key benefits include:
• Introducing an objective third-party voice into employee development dialogues (especially in situations where an employee may be highly sensitive about core weaknesses); and
• Customized reports containing practical tips, in-depth strategies, and a list of books, seminars, and other resources that address the individual’s professional development challenge.
04.
Competency-Based Leadership Development
Just as a great golfer can benefit from a swing coach, senior managers can benefit from leadership coaching from time to time. Using the workstyle assessments as a foundation, Fernald & Co. can help executives improve their performance in key competencies
such as:
• Visioning,
• In-Depth Problem Solving and Analysis,
• Driving for Results, and
• Coaching & Developing Others.
We are practiced at creating customized leadership development programs for individuals and teams.
05.
High Performance Team Development
Business professionals are required to work in teams—whether management, project-based, production, or virtual. Through our team development programs, Fernald & Co. helps reinvigorate team productivity and cohesion by improving communication and workflow processes, interpersonal relationships, and morale.
Our time-tested programs highlight how team members can:
• Adapt their approach to individuals with different work styles to create positive outcomes;
• Align workstyles in projects or processes to yield the greatest bottom-line results; and
• Mediate and resolve conflicts within the inevitable challenges of daily work life.
