The OurWorkplace WORKS™ Program
People can usually see the symptoms but they rarely know how to fix these problems, which is why they persist or keep popping up in different forms.
This program addresses the symptoms and underpinning causes of the 180 commonly reported issues and helps companies to get their so- called house in order.
The entire program consists of four phases.
Phase 1 - Foundation Knowledge. Comprises of four, ‘how-to’ online modules, accompanying audio podcasts and mentoring. Each module interlinks 12 disciplines which are necessary to address more than 180 problematic issues and their underpinning causes commonly reported by executives and staff.
Phase 3 - Lead and Lag Metrics and Analytics (optional and builds on Phase 1) - Online module, podcasts, mentoring and support in how to develop a full complement of integrating bespoke lead and lag metrics. Also covers how to use them in predictive operational decision-making.
Phase 2 - Implementation (optional but builds on phase 1). Comprises of compliant modules and materials and support for implementing any concepts covered in phase 1.
Phase 4 - Organisational and Situational Evaluations (optional and builds on phase 3. For senior executives only) How to sift through big-data and evaluate deep root-cause and effect issues impacting the business.

Sample Testimonials
“I recently completed the 4 Modules with OurWorkplace, and highly recommend them. It builds on the foundations that many people instinctively know but then introduces many new concepts, context, structure and tools which I have since been able to utilise in my role. Using this newly learned tool kit (and way of thinking), I am now more confident in my capabilities as a manager in reducing companies risk whilst fostering a more aligned and motivated high performing team. A great training package. Thanks once again”

“I was blown away with what was I was learning and just how beneficial I found the information within the whole course. I had never before understood quite so well the correlation between cause and effect issues in workplaces. It showed exactly why getting the foundations right really matters, and is not something you can bypass or do in part if you truly want your workplace to function well”.
