Talk to us

Employees are key to any organisation’s success and at AAB, we understand that navigating the intricacies of organisational development requires more than a one-size-fits-all approach.

We use our experience and knowledge to diagnose where improvements can be made and this helps us design solutions that can improve performance when teams, individuals or structures aren’t working as well as they could be. Our innovative tools and solutions are firmly grounded in cutting-edge research, proven methodologies, and the latest in behavioural science, ensuring that every intervention is both practical and impactful.

OUR ORGANISATIONAL DEVELOPMENT SERVICES

Our Organisational Development team aims to optimise workplace dynamics and adaptability, ensuring that your organisation is not only prepared to meet current challenges but is also positioned for future success.

We work with our clients to ensure that structure, culture, processes and talent are aligned with and focused on the delivery of organisational goals and objectives. Whatever prompts our clients’ organisational development needs, our team possesses the experience, knowledge, and proficiency to provide tailored solutions.

PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT

Strategies to Enhance Performance Management

We recognise that performance is not something that happens because of an “appraisal” format, but rather because of clarity of goals and standards as well as ongoing support, development and feedback. We will support you in enabling all employees to take responsibility for and enhance their performance and development at work. That’s why we don’t just give you a template to be completed once a year; we assess your organisation’s needs and then support your managers to create a culture that delivers results.

CULTURE DEVELOPMENT

Elevate Organisational Culture & Boost Employee Morale

A positive, high-performing work culture is crucial for organisational effectiveness. We work with our clients to create a strong, clear, sustained culture that goes beyond supporting the commercial strategy. It becomes the beating heart of your company, which is vital in today’s increasingly isolated and remote work environments. We’ll help you create an innovative, inclusive, and positive culture which boasts a healthy work-life balance, open communication, and personal and professional development, all of which will help us to help you create high-performing teams and support organisational excellence.

EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT

Organisational success is achieved through its’ people. It is now well accepted that engaged employees are crucial for successful delivery. Our Employee Engagement Consultants use data-driven insights to identify, prioritise and implement employee engagement initiatives that result in real, measurable behaviour change.

DIAGNOSTICS – SURVEYS & LISTENING ACTIVITIES

Our surveys enable business leaders to make data-driven decisions to develop a workplace culture that will empower employees to drive your organisation toward success.

ATTRACT & RETAIN TALENT

The attraction and retention of talent is a key issue for many organisations. With the ever-increasing growth of new technologies and AI changing the world of work, having effective talent strategies in place is crucial. Attracting and retaining talent goes far beyond competitive compensation and benefit packages. Organisational purpose and values, sustainability, a focus on employee wellbeing, and opportunities for professional development are all key attractors to workers. Our people consultancy team work with you to create a multifaceted approach to prioritise both employee satisfaction and professional growth for the benefit of both the employee and the organisation.

Do you want to support your managers to be at their best, to engage and motivate your teams, and to take responsibility for driving your organisation toward achieving its commercial goals?

EQUALITY, DIVERSITY & INCLUSION

Managing the areas of equality, diversity and inclusion can feel like a minefield, but it’s no longer a “nice to have” for organisations. Integrating these principles into your core practices is a must for any organisation aiming to foster an inclusive, equitable culture where everyone feels valued and empowered. We help organisations transform their workplaces through embedding EDI at the heart of their strategy.

Let's talk about EDI

Vision, Mission & Values

An organisation’s vision, mission and values that are clearly articulated and understood is critical for business success. They create a focus and purpose that drives employee engagement, guides decision making, directs performance and plays a key role in organisational culture.

As an experienced people consultancy, we can assist an organisation in developing a mission, vision, and value set by using our expertise in organisational development and strategic planning. We engage with key stakeholders to understand the organisation’s core purpose and long-term goals and through structured workshops and collaborative sessions, facilitate leadership teams in articulating a clear and compelling purpose – their very reason for existence.

We also help shape a vision that encapsulates what the organisation strives to achieve, providing direction and inspiration for growth and innovation. By identifying and crafting core values, we ensure these principles set the blueprint for the organisation’s culture, fostering a cohesive and motivated workforce, all working together with a shared understanding.

Our structured approach and external perspective are invaluable in crafting a mission, vision, and value set that resonate externally as well as with internally to drive sustainable growth and success.

ORGANISATIONAL DESIGN

Sometimes the right people are just in the wrong place! And sometimes, the right people in the right roles just can’t seem to work together effectively.

Our organisational development team will work with you to understand your business imperatives and identify where the current structures may not be serving you. Through robust diagnosis and analysis, we identify how and where the most impactful improvements to structure can be made, making the most of the talent in place as well as identifying gaps that may need to be bridged.
