Talent Development For Impact

Sustainable Development is What We Do

Talk to almost any people leader or HR business partner and they will tell you that they usually have complaints and concerns about the same 10-15 percent of the work force. The negative impact on the team, the wake effect we call it, is a daily reality. That percentage of employees has such an enveloping impact that the team is prevented from being a high performing team because of the anchor dragging behaviors of just a few. Our proven approach is effective and can be witnessed by your team sooner than you may think.

Professional development workshops should not be a “check-the-box” event. We find that when people are presented with practical tools and a vision of how to genuinely implement these skills, then real skill integration takes place and behavioral change is accomplished. Since you are investing the time, money, and productivity, your training event needs to be interactive, inspiring, and designed to facilitate real learning. This kind of learning environment compels the participant’s growth and desire to improve.

Parkyn Group specializes in customizing material to meet a client’s specific development needs. Whether improving your existing programs or designing from scratch, we work hand-in-hand to ensure that training, coaching, and skill development are relevant to your world and integrated into the mindset and behaviors of those we train and coach. We also help to develop and implement a comprehensive plan to sustain the learning to impact your culture.

Most coaching and leadership training is built around the leader being in the same office environment as the employee, but you need to connect a dispersed workforce. We encourage management to spend time on the shop floor, looking for opportunities to learn from the professionals, those who do their job with precision. A best practice for all managers is to ask their team, on an annual basis, this question: What is the greatest hurdle that keeps you from doing your job with excellence? Then the manager has a list and is on a mission to lower the hurdles for their team. Skill trades and manufacturing jobs are rarely glamorous. For that reason, it’s vital that we provide the genuine, well-deserved appreciation to show the true value they bring every day.

 We offer uniquely designed content specifically created to engage and develop the workforce and those who lead them. We have logged countless hours coaching hundreds of leaders and their teams through process improvement, leadership development, organizational change, and cultural transformation. Effective learning calls for different formats depending on your learners’ preferences and the training topics covered. Our content has skill or learning reinforcement built right in, so employees can recall or access their training on the job and make the choice to do the right thing in their situation.
