Consulting Services

At Washington Employers, we go beyond the basics. Whenever you need a specialized human resource-related project, you'll want to take advantage of the comprehensive consulting services provided by our staff. Since these are projects beyond the scope of basic membership benefits, there is typically an hourly fee for consulting services.

Organization Development Service

Washington Employers Organization Development (OD) Service focuses on practical ways to improve the effectiveness of your organization through the individuals and teams who make it work.

OD projects are planned, sustained efforts that start when a leader identifies a compelling reason for change, such as high turnover, poor team performance, conflicts between individuals or departments, customer complaints, planned succession, or new challenges in the business environment. Specific activities may involve any of the following:

Teambuilding
Strategic planning
Group and individual assessment
Succession planning
Mediation / Conflict management
Coaching

As experienced facilitators, our OD consultants also can assist you with planning and conducting meetings or staff retreats that accomplish their purpose.

Whatever people challenges you may face, Washington Employers can help. For more information on our customized Organization Development services, contact us at (206) 329-1120 or e-mail us at info@wa-emp.com.
