Employee Development
At Blue Allium we recognise how important it is to develop employees as your business grows and evolves.
Appraisals
An appraisal is a formal opportunity for you to sit down with your employee and review their performance at work. It is also an opportunity to discuss their career aspirations and for you to identify career progression opportunities.
How often do you carry out appraisals? How do you prepare beforehand? How do you gather feedback on performance? Blue Allium can help you with all these areas and work with you to develop a competency framework which allows for objective measurement of performance.

Management Training
How do you ensure that your managers have the skills they need to manage people? Do you discuss development areas with them at their appraisals? Do you develop a plan with them? When you have identified the training requirement how do you procure it? Do you measure improvement in performance after training?
Work with us to develop a management training programme that suits the needs of your business and provides your managers with the confidence and skills to deal with people issues.

Career development
Career development is taken to be the lifelong process we all follow of managing work and learning. Developing your employees is key to how your business performs now and in the future. It includes identifying learning needs, developing interventions to fill the gaps and evaluating outcomes. Blue Allium will work with you to develop succession plans and performance processes.

Coaching
Coaching in the workplace means helping another person learn and develop so that they grow their career by obtaining new skills. Coaching involves asking and providing guidance rather than giving direction.
Blue Allium will work with you to give an employee the tools, knowledge and opportunities they need to fully develop themselves in the workplace.

Mentoring
Mentoring is the passing on of support, advice and guidance and as such differs from coaching. It is usually long-term tailored development for the employee which brings benefits to the business as well as the individual. Mentoring activities can have both organisational and individual goals.

Competency framework
What standards are important in your business? What level of attainment do your employees need to achieve in those standards? Do they need basic skills in some areas, competent skills in others or expert skills? Have you identified what competent skills look like? Can you objectively discuss performance based on the evidence you have gathered?

Culture change
Any organisational change by its very nature leads to culture change. Culture change is often the hardest part of the transformation process to achieve. Change demands new behaviours from Senior teams in a business and their employees something which can be hard to achieve as people are attached to ‘how things are done around here’.
Blue Allium can help you to make incremental steps to achieve culture change, help you with your vision, explain the reasons for change and bring key stakeholders on board and evaluate the change.

Learning and development
Do you have a learning and development strategy? Having one in place helps align employee goals and performance to that of your business. It helps to identify any skills gaps and suggests ways those gaps can be bridged. For an employee it demonstrates that the business is interested in their development and will increase levels of engagement with the business. With recruitment being costly investing in learning and development will help to keep your turnover low as employees feel valued and invested in.
