Talent is about people and the processes that empower them. It is about harnessing the power of this precious human capital and directing it to enhance performance, culture and capabilities of the organization. In a time when more and more professionals are dissatisfied with their work, it is paramount that leadership evolve their thinking on how to engage their talent. Old practices that fail to respond to today’s diverse workforce result in poor performance and a disengaged team.

At Affect Partners, we believe each organization has a special recipe for bring-

ing their resources together to fulfill their strategy. We live in a diverse and ever

changing world, so it is paramount that organizations understand, align and

empower their people to extend their value. This is not accomplished by copying

the practices of others, but rather finding inspiration to develop an organization’s

own unique approach.

Our Affect Talent services align and elevate your team to make your organization

more effective. We have developed a range of services that support your talent

related needs. All of our services focus first on listening and learning. We learn

from the voices of the individuals that define the organization and then focus this

knowledge to advance the organization towards its goals. Our role is to serve as

your guide. We are an objective partner to help build sustainable practices and

aid in unlocking the full potential of your talent.

ELEVATING ORGANIZATIONS, THEIR PEOPLE AND THEIR PERFORMANCE.

Organizational Development

Organizational development is a journey. It is a journey to be owned by leadership. Too often self-imposed structures, policies or practices that are slow to change impede the ability of an organization to serve. This can stymie talent development and limit an organizations ability to unleash its full potential. Leadership must embrace new ways to innovate design, effectiveness and enablement if they hope to get the most out of their organization.

Our services start with understanding how the organization functions and where it is heading. This informs our thinking on how best to navigate the development process. Tempering proven practices with contem-porary thinking focuses the conversation on how best to enable resources. Our goal is to understand, align and enable the team to be their best. We strive to eliminate the barriers that hold organizations back from reaching their potential.

Leadership Services

Demands on leadership are fluid. Unforeseen events challenge organizations to keep initia-tives on track and to maintain the team’s mo-tivation. Augmenting leadership to get the job done helps bring energy, focus and intellect to bridge these critical periods. However, these re-sources should encompass both the technical and soft skills to make the best impact. Knitting together a disrupted environment can be very challenging and requires proven capabilities.

Our experience allows us to step in quickly and make an immediate impact. We can push ini-tiatives forward or bring stability to an unset-tled team. A proven set of strategy, talent and operations capabilities are blended to connect with rattled resources while tenaciously attack-ing urgent priorities. As an interim member of the team, we lock arms and do what is needed to make a difference. Our leadership services provide seamless support when you need it.

Performance Management

Getting the most out of an organization requires thoughtful performance manage-ment. Today’s workforce is more diverse than ever, and the blending of generations requires tailored solutions to attract and retain the best talent. The days of canned reviews or vague feedback are no longer acceptable nor serve to motivate resources. Instead, organizations must embrace how their workforce responds and build pro-grams to drive the desired behaviors.

Our services focus on helping our clients understand and define a mutual definition of success for their talent. It is a definition aligned with strategy and informed by col-laboration. We bring thoughtful methods rooted in current realities to help design robust performance programs. We then help leaders architect the details that will drive desired outcomes while showing them how to nurture the team along the way. Our goal is to help connect talent and results so all can enjoy success.

Training & Development

Training and development is critical to delivering a quality experience to your customers. Today’s customers have a discerning eye, so equipping your team with the right knowledge, skills and tools is critical. All too often, training is infor-mal, out of date or non-existent. The best or-ganizations have learned that performance im-proves dramatically when talent is consistently developed. Failure to nurture these precious resources only diminishes an organization’s ability to succeed.

Our services help organizations build thought-ful training programs. We strive to help your team define and develop the tools to succeed. Leveraging proven learning management tech-niques, we assist our clients in assembling a customized curriculum and a model to deliv-er it. Our strength comes from providing the focus, organization and intellect to make it hap-pen. Our goal is to act as a catalyst to rapidly accelerate each of our client’s training and devel-opment agendas.
