Follow up Tools - Professional Development
Coaching provides a partnership to help individuals produce fulfilling results in their professional lives, helping improve performance and enhance the quality of their work. Trained to listen and customize their approach to individual needs, coaches seek to elicit solutions and strategies from the individual, thereby improving client skills.
Periodic Post-Assessment is a follow-up tool used to see if there are any further issues and to make sure what’s learned transfers to the workplace. At various intervals, we can discuss topics on which the individual or group was trained and observe their transfer of learning.
Focus Groups are a form of qualitative research in which a group of people are asked about their attitude towards a product, service, concept, or idea. Questions are asked in an interactive group setting where participants are free to talk with other group members where they are asked a set of key questions. A full focus group report is written and provided for the company. Focus groups are a powerful means to evaluate services or test new ideas. A great deal of information can be obtained by using focus groups.
