The IOD's team of organizational development experts offers a comprehensive array of products and services to respond to a wide variety of inter-related and inter-dependent development needs. Our integrated approach enables us to address any or all of those needs systematically, cost-effectively, and with maximum long-term benefit for the organization.

 

IOD offers a comprehensive approach for improving an organization's HR function to ensure that the organization is attracting, hiring, developing and rewarding its employees effectively. Our human resource experts can examine the capacity and functioning of existing HR activities and outcomes along several dimensions relevant to employee staffing, relations, retention, and performance.

IOD designs and implements comprehensive systems to monitor, develop and reward employee performance based on the organization's existing values and culture.

IOD conducts market research and analysis to derive an accurate and objective picture of how the client's compensation package compares to other organizations, regions, etc. We then redesign and implement employee, management and executive compensation systems using traditional broad-banding, competency-based and market-pricing.

Developing an effective leadership team is often the best response to an organization's challenges. However, every executive or manager has a unique set of developmental needs based on his or her aptitude, personality, and experience; and every organization has specific development needs based on the combined skill levels and experience of its leadership team.

For this reason, IOD offers an individualized approach to leadership training that goes beyond traditional concepts of training to focus leadership development on the areas that will most benefit individual leaders and the organization as a whole. We begin with an 360° assessment to determine what changes are needed to strengthen leadership effectiveness. We then work with each individual to develop a plan of action that responds to specific challenges to result in relevant and lasting behavioral change. We can also use the assessment results to create a customized group-training curriculum based on the development needs that are common among the members of the leadership team.

IOD combines customer services management and organizational systems management to create a concrete, systems approach to customer relations, based on the organization's core values, accurate job descriptions, performance planning and ongoing coaching and counseling to ensure the delivery of quality products and services from all staff, at all levels of the organization.

This systems approach enables the organization's leadership to manage change; to respond comprehensively to the needs of customers and employees; and to ensure constant and certain quality services, as measured by increased satisfaction among internal and external customers.
