Unique applications:

Conflict in the workplace has many hidden costs, including the results of poor decision making due to job stress, and restructuring due to high employee turnover. At PULSE, we like to believe that we will work ourselves out of a job through effective training and capacity building. PULSE training reduces workplace conflict and its associated costs by developing and training leaders, managers and employees to recognize and address conflict early through understanding of the definitions and effect of harassment and diversity, in addition to being effective third-party intervenors.

PULSE training and the use of the PULSE approache, reduces employee turnover through capacity building. Effective practices and policies build the capacity of employees to contribute to a productive workplace and result in greater job satisfaction and reduced employee turnover. Using the PULSE approach, we facilitate collaborative strategic planning sessions with senior leaders within organizations to develop effective policies in conjunction with feasible and doable sustainable plans.

Success stories:

Organizations are defined by conversation and relationship. PULSE conversations result in resolutions and decisions that engage employees to build and retain a sustained workforce.

Clear communication through conversation will make the difference to morale and to retention of staff. When people feel heard, understood and acknowledged, they develop a loyalty to the people and the organization, a sense of belonging and responsibility.
