GPC Skills Ltd

Calling all employers across my network, or those that manage business clients - a chance to cement your relationship by adding even more value. Only a few days left to take advantage of this FREE offer. Could be the best £0 you spend this year!

Free TDMI voucher codes for the first 100! February is a weird old month I think - January lasted for 12 weeks, and now suddenly we've had Valentine's Day and half the country is part way through Half Term and the remainder are looking forward to either some time off, or juggling work and kids next week. In all of that we business owners did a lot of business planning and strategy work, but I imagine most of that was linked to sales and revenue - so what about your people? For most of December and all of January we ran a 90% discount on the Talent Development Maturity Index. This insightful, but easy to use, 'health check' on your people strategy will give you the information you need to make critical choices about recruitment, training, performance management and your HR function. It delivers a report that would take consultants a few days to compile based on a consulting engagement at your office, so it really is a bargain. But! not everyone can justify even the discounted price, and we want as many companies and business owners to benefit from this as possible, so we are running an extra special offer. Complete this form, and the first 100 responses will receive a FREE voucher code to complete the Talent Development Maturity Index. Offer expires at the end of February, and voucher codes will be issued to the first 100 in the first week of March. Complete this form. https://lnkd.in/eV7iiZGv

Want more strategic thinking in your HR team? At GPC we are always keen to help teams who are busy with the day job think more strategically. Years ago this would have involved an off-site residential with adventure activities, problem solving tasks and, most likely, an elaborate scenario that I'd dreamt up, requiring teams to fling an egg down a field or raft across a lake to retrieve a rocket they needed to launch. As time as passed, the budgets for such adventures have diminished, and the process for strategic thinking moved inside, and the time allowed for stepping outside of the day to day reduced from days to hours. Rather than fight against this shift, we have embraced it, and gone a step further. Instead of days of consulting time, you can gain valuable insight into your people strategy by completing our Talent Development Maturity Index (TDMI). In just 15 minutes you can complete the diagnostic and receive a comprehensive report that will help you to make strategic decisions that will improve recruitment, retention, performance, save money and better enable you to support apprenticeships and development opportunities. It's just £485+VAT and if you don't feel you have received that value once you've read your bespoke, insightful report, we will give you your money back*. For more information and to sign up, click here https://lnkd.in/eYAQv8V6 Or contact me for a chat about how the TDMI works and what it can do for your business. See beyond the symptoms. *T&Cs apply

Having difficulty attracting or retaining the talent you want? Seem like you’re constantly on the search for the Impossible Candidate?
