Business/Organizational
Consulting
West County Psychological Associates provides consultation services for
businesses. We are unique from other companies who provide seminars, training,
and interventions because we seek to establish and maintain an ongoing
relationship with our clients.
Personnel conflicts are like the weather. While everyone talks about
it and maybe affected by it, there is a sense that nothing can be done.
Companies who know how to weatherproof themselves are positioned in the
marketplace for survival and expansion. Weatherproofing is an outcome
of prescriptive interventions and preventive maintenance.
Our focus is in establishing a long term relationship with our clients
because our experience is that systemic change requires more than gimmicky
entertaining diversions or one shot interventions. We seek partnerships
with companies intending to establish a proactive leadership style. These
companies recognize that awareness and addressing the issues of workforce
relationships or problems is vital to their bottom line. Our innovative
approach of establishing durable partnerships allows us to seek, in an
open assertive way, roadblocks in personnel matters that negatively drain
productivity.
We provide solution focused interventions tailored to your specific needs.
Many problematic situations evolve out of an inappropriate and inefficient
focus on the part of management. Utilizing a systemic approach WCPA can
provide business opportunities to see with new eyes, untapped, underutilized
or misused resources for problem solving.
Because of our long term relationship approach, we have an opportunity
of exploring with you the problems within your company in the context
of the system. Being able to see how specific problems impact the entire
system empowers the management. Success is not just a destination for
a company; it is a habit of mind. The challenge is in the journey. How
efficiently is your company traveling?
As examples of what we are talking about, here are some common problems
faced by most business:
- Decisions and strategies implemented
by upper management are sabotaged by hourly wage employees who
have hidden agendas, contrary to the mission of the organization.
- People
who hoard or dispense information in order to make themselves safe
or acquire power: their agenda does not serve the mission of the organization.
- Managers who are unwilling or unable to take on problems in a realistic
and direct way, which results in the hidden cost of conflict avoidance.
- Communications problems which arise from a non-traditional workforce
and/or a multicultural workforce with different or diverse cultural
traditions.
- Retaining valued employees in a tight labor market, while
helping them improve their job skills so that they and the company can
experience growth.
