CRG Business Coaching
 
Whether you are grappling with employee performance issues, the need to adapt to changing business trends, adjusting to a new position, developing high potentials, or resolving business problems, coaching can provide you with the insight, self-awareness and tools and techniques to achieve success. Coaching is about one's motivation to change and is clearly focused on change goals including self-awareness, performance improvement, performance breakthrough and transformation - all linked to business strategies and initiatives.

You may be familiar with the powerful assessment software and multi-source feedback tool utilized by CRG ASSOCIATESthe 20/20® Insight Gold assessment software and related consulting services.  We offer the new 20/20® Insight Gold enhanced version 4.0 which has several exciting features.   Also included in this program is the new Self-Development Toolkit that includes strategies and tools that help improve performance.
 
 
Developed as a 360 feedback tool, the program has been expanded so that it not only offers state-of-the-art online 360 assessment and reporting, but also offers a variety of individual skill and competency assessments as well as organizational and team multi-source customized feedback. 
 
Clients in the retail, financial and real estate industries have realized outcomes that include an increase of 17% in "management concern for the wellbeing of employees" and a 13% increase in the "modeling of organizational values by management" as measured over an 18-month period.  The significance of these statistics are supported by the Gallup Group's findings of the strong link between these types of measures and an organization's retention level and business results.
 
Coupled with our training programs and learning resources, we have launched new "Train-to-Ingrain" initiatives with clients who are serious about measuring results over time in the form of behavior change.  Call and ask about this special approach - it may be exactly what your organization needs to "make the difference" between the status quo and long-term results.
 
Let us help you measure and achieve similar results; call or email now for your free CD solutions demo and to learn more about our "Train-to-Ingrain" approach.
