Preparing for the Upturn

Preparing for the Upturn

Most of the bad news is now out in the open. You have a good idea as to how you and your company have been affected. And you know the state of your staff and morale.

Every competent business leader, manager, human resources and training and development professional is now focused on the "where do we go from here?" question.

If you are not prepared for the upturn in business when it comes (and it could be here sooner than you think). If you do not have the trained people ready to fulfil on the orders when they come. If your workforce have their collective heads below the parapet waiting for someone to tell them it's safe to come out now.

Then you are going to miss the boat!

Now is the time to prepare for the upturn and Impact Factory has a range of options to support you. Please read on to see what we can offer.

People are dealing with increased pressure, greater stress and unplanned for change. They are working with staff redundancies, budget cuts, reduced order books and a general sense of loss.

Everyone will know someone who has lost their job and most will fear for their own employment prospects.

No wonder there is little or no focus on expansion and plans for the future.

Impact Factory are experts in dealing with change stress and pressure. We can help key individuals or key teams regroup and reinvigorate after the turmoil of enforced change.

We can provide intensive coaching of significant members of staff to help them motivate tired and fearful workers. We can work with essential teams to help them re-focus on the future. We can give bite size seminars for large groups of people to get them thinking and behaving more creatively to prepare for the upturn.

Impact Factory is happy to talk with you about getting your company into position to take advantage of the coming upturn so your company is not just a survivor, but ready to thrive as the blood comes back into our economy. Now, more than ever, is the time to support yourself and your staff.

Set out below are the many ways we can help, but if you want to cut to the chase call us on 020 7226 1877, and a Partner will talk you through the ways we can help you prepare for the upturn.

Training to a Budget

Whatever your situation we can help. Impact Factory training is not cheap, but we do have a variety of ways to make a limited budget very effective.

Cost Effective Solutions to Prepare for the Upturn

Tailored Key Issue Programmes

We can tailor our work to focus on the key issues your company needs. By combining

Intensive Courses for Key Personnel

together with

Larger Training Seminars or Licensed Accredited Training

for others, we can shape a cost effective programme that will give everybody a real sense of development.

Intensive Motivational Workshops

We can run Professional Personal Development Workshops that immerse delegates in quickly upgrading their skills. This can help shift attitudes and get people focused on maintaining or raising productivity and increasing confidence at a time when confidence may seem a bit shaky.

If budget constraints won't allow you to put many people through a programme, you can select a small number of essential and key people within your organisation who could use some additional support right now.

Drama Based Solutions

Alternatively, a larger, Interactive Drama Based Solution, involving many staff can really get people's motivation fired up and can create energy around your company when you need it most.

If You've been Credit Crunched

If you or your company have been badly hit by the current economic chaos Impact Factory has a range of options to support you.

The pressure and stress of unexpected and unplanned for change, dealing with staff redundancies, budget cuts, expansion plans shelved and new ideas put on the back burner, will all have a huge impact on people's emotions, concerns and fears in the face of uncertainty.

Impact Factory are experts in Dealing with Change and the Stress and Pressures it can bring in its wake. We can help key individuals or key teams cope more effectively with the turmoil or potential turmoil around them.

This can take the form of:

Brief yet Intensive Coaching of significant members of staff to help them manage their people's anxieties, distress and worries.

Working with Essential Teams to help them stay focused and productive.

Bite Size Seminars for large groups of people to get them thinking and behaving more creatively to support their company through a crisis period.

Impact Factory has dealt effectively in all these areas and are happy to come talk with you so your company not only survives, it thrives.

Now, more than ever, is the time to support yourselves and your staff.

Managing Planned Change

Companies facing budget cuts are by necessity also facing change. We help companies facilitate change at all levels.
