Their experience comes from many sources including independent consulting practices, corporate management and affiliation with universities. All our instructors are committed to providing your employees with the tools they need to succeed in today's competitive workforce environment. Our instructional designers, course developers, and facilitators combine extensive experience and knowledge of the principles of learning with well-practiced content delivery techniques to transfer information in an efficient and interactive environment.

Custom Workshops
Customized workshops focus on more specialized topics and provide corporate clients with the opportunity to have a curriculum modified to fit their specific workplace needs. Customized sessions promote awareness and provide strategies and techniques to manage issues affecting personal job satisfaction and performance.

After we receive a request for a customized workshop we will arrange a telephone consultation with you to thoroughly understand the unique issues, needs and workplace culture of your organization and your employees. Based on this discussion, our consultants will make the necessary revisions to the workshop content and methodology.

All custom workshops involve a subject matter specialist from the Workplace Institute and/or a qualified independent service provider. When we feel a customized program is ready to effectively address a specific organizational need, we will prepare a project proposal for your review.

Fees for the development, piloting, evaluation and final rollout of a custom training product are dependent on the specific requirements of each project.
