Seven Melbourne has enjoyed excellent service delivery from deliberatepractice over the last 3 years. The personalised service and quick response times to our staff needs are what brings us back to their customised and problem specific approach for outplacement, management coaching, workforce and retirement transitional advice. They work closely with the HR team to deliver great results, ensuring a partnership approach within our business.
deliberatepractice are genuine partners to achieve our business goals. The team acts like an extension of our company with our peoples’ success in mind.
They collaborate with us to increase the potential of our existing leaders and add depth to our bench strength through new talent.
I have worked with deliberatepractice when heading up the HR department/function in various companies, during significant periods of organisational change. It is a pleasure to partner with a group of people that have empathy and compassion for all stakeholders involved. They easily navigate through the ups and downs of change while having some fun along the way.
Whenever I have engaged deliberatepractice for career transition they have listened carefully to our unique needs and requirements, and responded efficiently. The combination of flexibility, meaningful advice and considered quality support for our employees has been very evident. I feel confident that our employees feel well supported with the service they receive and for the full duration of their program. I’ve been impressed with the work they have done for us, their professionalism, courtesy and caring approach.
Great team that is always there for us and ready to help with any challenging issues we come across. They are very client focused and seek to understand our unique business requirements in each case prior to giving advice. Outstanding service, very reliable and pleasure to do business with.
We engaged deliberatepractice recently at our annual Sales Conference to deliver training to our frontline managers. It is common in business today where, technical people are promoted into Managerial positions. They often attempt to solve a business problem with a technical solution and don’t always have the tools. deliberatepractice gave our managers a toolkit that focused on adaptive leadership and a framework to assist them with decision making. Our leaders are better prepared to handle common business problems and are communicating more positively with their team. We have also gained some transactional efficiencies through improved communication and adaptive leadership style thinking. We understand it is a journey but just seeing the light bulb moments in the managers and awareness that comes from this training, has been very rewarding as HR Manager. Organizations need to do things differently to remain competitive and investing in your people is the first and most important step. In the feedback from our staff their highlight was the MAZE game, ask Greg Smith and Diane Kane about this one - it was fun, practical enough for technical learners and produced some great learnings!
I engaged deliberatepractice to undertake a search for an individual with non-complementary skills. I thought it was going to be a real challenge to find a suitable candidate given the unique requirements of the position. The assignment was taken on with great enthusiasm and delivered a superb result. I was thrilled when deliberatepractice presented me with not only one candidate but a shortlist of candidates who all met the brief. The successful candidate has now joined our organisation and is kicking goals on a daily basis.
As a candidate with deliberatepractice, I have been really impressed with the support and the service I have been provided with. It has been a real personal and genuine experience, which makes me believe that if I get this support as a candidate, I would want to engage with deliberatepractice as a customer.
We engaged deliberatepractice to run an outplacement program following the redundancy of around 50 positions across numerous locations. A key point of differentiation was the proactive and professional way in which deliberatepractice managed the project. They contacted each individual personally and quickly and they were very flexible in terms of service delivery options. The feedback from participants who used the outplacement service was universally positive.
We engaged the services of deliberatepractice to find a senior level HR Director for our Asia Pacific operations following a failed search on our own. I was blown away by the quality of candidates deliberatepractice found and I'm positive that we could never have attracted the quality and quantity of candidates on our own. The slate of candidates ranged from good, better to best and our choice was very difficult. I literally wanted to interview everyone! We were extremely happy with our final candidate and he's doing an amazing job for us - I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Peter and the team to anyone.
