9 Elements We Prioritise in Our Organisational Development Services

The world is a vastly different place from what it was ten years ago. Companies and organisations have had to adapt to survive, and the various markets are only becoming more competitive. Within any business, there is always room for growth and improvement – and it is our job at Orgro to spot this potential. It’s not just about a company’s ability to sustain itself, but to expand, thrive, and accommodate the ever-changing professional landscape. The last thing you want is for your business to fall behind, and this is what makes our organisational development services so useful.

We will help you reimagine and re-engineer your organisation’s internal structures to ensure maximum performance and profitability. We do this by focusing on the most important asset your company has: its people. At Orgro, we are in the business of people solutions, and we focus on nine, essential factors when assisting our clients with organisational development.

9 Essential factors assisting clients with organisational development:

1. Organisational Design

The “design” aspect of organisational development begins with the assessment of one’s company. It includes evaluating the purpose of the business, and whether the infrastructure in place will cater to this purpose. We will assist in redesigning your internal architecture in a way that promotes efficiency, the wellbeing of employees, cuts costs, and unlocks hidden potentials.

2. Managing Performances

Our holistic approach to performance management prioritises factors such as goal setting, job profiling, performance management systems, and many more to improve company success. The aim is to not just meet performance objectives, but to exceed them. We will help to revive your performance policies and take a closer look at interventions and rewards programmes.

3. Facilitating Change

Many companies today resist change, but part of positive organisational development is intentionally leaning into this transformation. For employers and employees alike, the uncertainty behind change can be stressful and hinder productivity, unfortunately. Our action-research approach promotes support, collaboration, and accountability in creating an environment that embraces and seeks out meaningful changes.

4. Effective Resolutions to Conflict

Every company experiences conflict – but it costs time, resources, and sometimes money too. From small disagreements that accumulate, to major disputes and upheavals, conflict can sink a business. Our organisational development services include effective conflict resolution and mediation that strives to foster harmony within a team and mitigate company loss.

5. Surveys that Provide Clarity

While you may understand your business on an intuitive level, our organisational development services will allow you to gain defined knowledge of the inner workings of your internal structures. We will conduct surveys that give you a better definition of your organisation’s climate, culture, engagement, as well as wellbeing.

6. Team Interventions

Forming a unified front and working together towards shared goals makes any team an unstoppable force. Team dynamics are an important resource that many companies neglect, but we will assist you with interventions to improve these dynamics. Our interventions are evidence-based and include action-learning principles, coaching techniques, and activities to strengthen group cohesion and workflow.

7. Setting Up Strategic Objectives

After being in business for a while, it is not unusual for a company to lose sight of their vision and mission. Our organisational development tools will help to facilitate a revival of your corporate strategy. This will inevitably boost engagement, development, commitment, and performance from your team. From strategic analysis to implementation and monitoring of your strategic objectives, we will be there every step of the way.

8. A Course on Wellbeing and Resilience

Our Wellbeing and Resilience course enables members of your company to gain awareness of, and manage, their well-being on both a personal and professional level. People within your workplace will also learn how to develop coping mechanisms and strategies to better manage stress and shift their paradigms towards positive, solutions-based thinking.

9. Job Profiling and Grading

Having defined roles within your organisation not only assists you in monitoring job performance and establishing a pay structure, but hiring the best future applicants for these roles too. We will assist you in evaluating and identifying these roles in a way that engages talent and taps into its full potential. Here, we utilise the standardised, systematic methodology of the Paterson grading system.

Organisational development is vital to the underlying pulse of your company. Improving upon these elements with the help of our tools, resources, and actionable insights will take your business from strength to strength. To find out more on how we can assist you, feel at ease to contact us today.
