Client case
Temporary employment company
Managerial support for the new branch model
About the client
Cet acteur majeur du marché de l’intérim est confiant dans sa capacité à faire face aux évolutions de son secteur, même si son inertie, liée à sa taille est plus importante que ses principaux concurrents.
What were the results?
A management team and regional directors aligned and prepared to carry the meaning of this new organization
A project team and all HR managers sharing the same keys to managerial support for change as the managers concerned
New branch managers identified and trained to lead the first meetings and individual interviews required to start up their new branch
A rapid start-up in each new branch, with the profitability target reduced by 3 to 4 weeks
What was the key to your success?
The development of customized training in managerial support for change has been a determining factor; this consists of reproducing, in practical training cases, the relational issues (fears, disappointments and questioned professional values) that new Branch Managers are confronted with in the first meetings and individual interviews required to start up their new branch. The trainers’ “coaching” posture allows new Branch Managers to gain in ease when faced with the difficult questions and issues of their future teams.
