people support : people strategy

Looking to make positive organisational change and need assistance with creating the best design for your business, which enables organisational strategy to be successfully executed?

We can help with that.

Read below for some of our more popular areas of organisational people support.

Organisational
Design

Decipher Group are experts at small-to-medium and large-scale organisational design projects. Our approach goes beyond shifting the lines and boxes in an organisational chart – we help our clients to reshape their organisation to fit with their business strategy. This includes objectively looking at the fundamental building blocks of an organisation and reviewing whether they support strategic priorities and other growth aspirations.

Leadership
Development

Understanding the skills, capabilities, and strengths of your people helps you to not only identify the talent you have today, but what your business needs for tomorrow. Our competency-based assessments are also the first step in creating development plans, a valuable tool for engaging and motivating your high potentials.

We work with businesses and individuals to create tailored professional development plans – giving existing and emerging leaders the tools to help them best lead their teams and organisations. Our proven approach includes identifying the right path and collaborating on a blended development solution to achieve individual, team and business goals.

Succession
Planning

Succession planning is an intentional process that gives you the confidence to effectively deal with leadership changes and enable your organisation to continue to operate with minimal disruption. From planned talent transitions through to sudden leadership departures, we work with our clients to help them stay ahead of the curve.

People Support Services:

Business Growth

Our human resources team can help you navigate change and plan for smooth transitions as your business grows and evolves.

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

Diversity, equity and inclusion (DE&I) is a hot topic globally – from the classroom through to the boardroom and breakroom, we all want to create spaces that are welcoming and where happiness and belonging are prioritised.

Behavioural Assessment

Decipher Group has the in-house capability to deliver a range of service solutions to our clients to support the assessment, selection, and development of talent.
