Training & Organisational Development

While we have access to a range of solutions to improve organisational effectiveness, we use the internationally acclaimed programme Insights to guide our clients at a strategic, team and personal level.

At a strategic level, we will help to identify and develop corporate personality, measure performance in areas like competencies, capabilities, values and belief and make sure that these attributes are aligned with the company's goals.

We also drill down to team level, improving team effectiveness and measuring performance against core capabilities, amongst others: Vision, Creativity, Trust and Problem Solving.

Human Alliance takes development right down to the individuals, recognising that for the team to be truly effective we need to take into account that people have different working styles and personality types. To grow personally and professionally, these differences need to be recognised, understood and harnessed for true effectiveness.

This extends to the key sales area where your sales representatives will gain insight into dealing with the different personality types found amongst decision-makers and buyers.

Insights is all about people and the organisation improving effectiveness and moving forward together as a cohesive unit.

BEE Ratings and Strategy

Broad Based BEE

BEE is a reality that all Companies in South Africa are faced with. The Government introduced the legislation governing BEE, to address the inequalities of the past, and to position BEE as a tool, to broaden SA's economic base, so that growth, job creation and poverty alleviation may be accelerated.

Human Alliance utilises the principles and guidelines as specified in the Code of Good Practice to assist clients with the facilitation and implementation of BEE. We can help you determine your BEE rating and if not within specifications, develop a strategy to achieve the necessary requirements.
