9 Steps to Implement a New Post-COVID19 Office Environment

Your company sent office workers home in March in a mad scramble to protect them from COVID19 and to keep your business alive. Now, as you plan the reopening of your office, it is clear that the survival of your business is at stake, and the old normal is obsolete.

It is time to be disruptive. It is time to create the new standard for a productive, innovative, less expensive, and safe office environment.

HR Audits

Many companies discover that their HR capability limits the organization’s potential to grow profitably. It may be that the outsourced HR model, which met their needs at first, has now become limiting and too costly. Or that your HR practices, policies, and technologies have become outdated.

Whatever the reason, our comprehensive HR audits will improve your ability to recruit, motivate, and retain great talent–with a fantastic return on its investment.

Unlock the factors that block your innovation and business success

We use a scientifically developed assessment to measure, benchmark, and improve your company’s culture and capability to innovate-and drive business results. The InnovationOne Health Index© identifies your company’s strengths and weaknesses that block the innovation of your employees and external partners. We will work with you to plan and implement strategies to improve your innovation and financial success.

Executive Coaching

Leadership coaching is extraordinarily helpful to executives (director and above) who are transitioning through a new leadership passage, need to improve some aspects of their leadership style, or making adjustments to their operating norms and mechanisms.

Teams

We work to get stuck teams going again and to kick off new project and enterprise-wide teams. Our team kick off workshop and team facilitation will lead to more productive, innovative, and successful teams.

Workshops

We have executive and leadership workshops designed to improve strategic focus and innovation, nurture transparent and collaborative cultures, build leadership capability, and unstick your stuck teams and kick off new teams.

Victor Assad provided us a broad and thorough HR assessment which identified several areas for us to improve our HR processes and drive business success. We appreciate how he also offered us practical steps to implement his recommendations and showed us the return on our investment for doing so.

Victor Assad has worked with us to integrate state-of-the art digital technology and to align our work process with the new technology. The result has been improved employee training, work processes and sales.

Ron Mnieckowski, Partner, Operations, Maximus Real Estate Partners

Victor Assad brought invaluable experience from a solid corporate legacy position to help me better understand the US environment and the challenges I would face when making investment decisions on optimizing my customer-facing organization to execute on my company’s commercialization strategy.

In an easy approach and highly collaborative manner he proactively developed tangible solutions to issues such as ‘healthcare compliance’, ‘pay and commission structures’ and ‘recruitment policies’ that I faced as I developed the sales organization.

Victor excels at grasping the complexities of a specific situation and then applying his experience to bring solutions that are simple to understand and to implement.

I would strongly recommend Victor as somebody who would add value to a leadership team eager to bring a fresh insight to their sales organization or as someone to give pragmatic guidance to an executive working through a specific HR related challenge.

Mitchell Sugarman, Vice President of Health Economics, Policy and Payment at Medtronic Cardiac and Vascular Group

Victor was a very helpful and collaborative HR business partner who understood the needs of the business and implemented practical solutions and strategies to attract, retain, and motivate employees.

He helped me tremendously on the diversity and inclusion work that I led for the business.
