Recent studies show that approximately 30% of employees are actively looking for a new job and 65% of new hires look for jobs again within 91 days of being hired


One of the keys to running a successful business is finding and retaining good employees. High turnover lowers morale, creates additional risk, drags down productivity, and hurts your bottom line. Best Steps offers programs to support you and your company in creating a winning culture that connects with your values and empowers your employees. We scale our proven methods and tools to fit your needs so that you can keep your employees feeling energized, empowered, and happy.

 

Lunch and Learns

These interactive one-hour sessions are a great way to start conversations and get employees thinking about how their needs and skills have evolved over time.

 

Talking 2.0

Everyone can talk, but can they communicate? We’ll provide a communication skills assessment that will help employees understand their style, their strengths and weaknesses, and how they can most effectively communicate with customers and colleagues. We’ll present tips and strategies and have some fun as we explore different communication styles.

 

Breaking Out of the Box Step

Even the most passionate professionals can end up in a rut. This session will help employees look at their job from a fresh perspective and get reenergized by reconnecting with what they love about what they do.

 

Valuing the Vision

This session focuses on how employees align their vision and goals with that of the company. We’ll focus on shared values and on using personal goalsetting to drive accountability for success.

Half-Day Coaching & Consulting Programs

In-depth workshops to nurture your company’s culture and empower your managers and employees.

 

Building Your Book of Business

Networking is a skill. It’s not always easy or natural, but with practice it is something anyone can master. We’ll provide tools and strategies to give your sales and account teams the confidence they need to make great connections that lead to lasting business.

 

Creating the Ideal Work Environment

Successful corporate cultures don’t just happen. They must be built consciously and nurtured. This program will help you build the groundwork for a successful culture. We’ll facilitate a listening session with your employees to take the pulse of your organization. We’ll then present the findings in a workshop with leadership to review the feedback, define values, and set goals.

 

Mentoring for Success

Mentoring is key to nurturing talent and retaining employees. It’s also a two-way street. This program is made up of two workshops. The first teaches employees to understand the value of mentoring and how to get over the fear that many feel about approaching superiors and experienced colleagues to form these critical relationships. The second works with managers to assist them in becoming strong, effective mentors so that they build the company’s internal talent pipeline.

 

Finding Your Personal Vision

Charting a course for life and career can be daunting. Balancing life and work and holding oneself accountable to personal goals is a lot easier said than done. However, being able to strike that balance and feel like you’re moving toward something that is key to living a fulfilling life – and being a more productive employee. In this session, we’ll provide the tools for employees to chart their life’s vision and set near, medium, and long-term goals for how to fulfill it.

 

Full-Day Coaching & Consulting Programs

Is your company going through a tough transition? We’ll work with you to create a custom day-long program that combines assessments, one-on-one review with individual employees, and group discussion to take the fear out of change. We’ll give employees the tools to understand their strengths and weaknesses and how they can align their personal goals with those of the organization to create a winning team.
