I asked Stephanie to come in and hold a facilitation meeting to highlight the two very different styles of communication between both people. We came out of it with issues to work on and agreement from both parties to work together. A week later, the communication is positive and it has been a 180 degree shift! Thank you so much, Stephanie!”

  • Simply put, it’s the practice of intentionally designing the relationship & connection between an organization and the people who work in it.

    People Strategy focuses on the strategies, elements and activities that lead to a positive, flourishing and growth environment for that relationship & connection to occur. So, that the business objectives are met in the most efficient and aligned way. Often, this includes: designing & refreshing culture, strengthening engagement through uniquely designed leadership programs, facilitating leadership development & learning experiences, and attracting & retaining talent through a creative people-focused strategy.

    As a true ‘strategy,’ it’s the highest level and most elevated approach to unlock and activate people potential within an organization.

    People Strategy is the “glue” that keeps the business, its people and the tactical function (often Human Resources (HR)) in alignment to ensure the achievement of the business’ goals - People Strategy is NOT HR, though they may overlap in some areas.

    In short, People Strategy enables growth, business goal achievement, and the development of strong culture of an organization and its people.

    And, by unlocking and activating its people potential, it ultimately leads to overall achievement and success of its business goals.
