Performance Management

Almost every outcome in your business is impacted by something a team member does or does not do.  Therefore, supporting and managing the performance of your team is critical to meeting business goals but is often a difficult task. Effectus is here to help unearth the root cause of performance issues in your business, remove barriers to performance, and identify and prioritize effective solutions.

Change Management

Managing change is critical to the success of any performance initiative.  Having a change manager to guide you and your team through the change process – big or small – helps ensure a return on your investment. Let Effectus help develop a strategy for implementing impactful change initiatives in your business.

Employee Training Programs

Training is a critical piece of any business but can be cumbersome and costly.  Effectus can help training become a strategic lever in your business, aligning learning with business needs and driving behavior change. Let us help you provide results-driven learning experiences for your team.  We can also help with: training needs analysis, instructional design, content production, and evaluation of training initiatives.

Competency Model Development

Competency models are the foundation for recruitment and hiring, training and development, and performance management. Clearly defined competencies and capabilities define what successful performance looks like for employees.  Effectus can help you define the knowledge, skills, abilities, and other responsibilities your team members need to positively impact your business.

Leadership Development & Coaching

Investing in leaders is essential for every business, regardless of size.  Effectus can guide you through how to do this in a strategic way, aligning growth and development with business goals.  We love partnering with leaders and leadership teams to create shared goals and clearly defined measures of success. Building the competencies, skills, and unity of your leaders is the best first step in elevating the performance of your team.

Project Management

Have you already identified a performance management project that needs to be executed but need help getting it off the ground?  Effectus can plan, organize, and direct the completion of projects, ensuring projects are completed on time, on budget, within scope, and with excellence. We would love the opportunity to serve you in this capacity.
