Winning Products & Services

Winning Work Teams takes a ground-up approach knowing that an organization is never stronger than its foundation. That’s why we believe in the basics: visionary coaching, clearly defined mission, solid playbook, knowing the rules, outstanding talent and great teamwork. Thus, we place great emphasis upon the fundamental building blocks in moving the organization forward. Our approach includes:

Our legal compliance educational workshops are designed to enhance the awareness of the management team to more successfully understand and navigate problematic issues in today’s costly litigious employment minefield. We take a “base line” approach to get all members of the management team trained and up to speed on what the key laws require of today’s companies. And, we provide tools to assist the management team to become more successful in spotting and managing the day-to-day risks of potential claims so that our client partners can increase energy on growing the bottom line.

Human Resources Audits

When was the last time you gave your company a good “scrub?” Are the policies current? Are the job descriptions in order? Does the employee handbook carry state-of-the-art language that minimizes the risks of employment litigation yet makes a powerful and positive statement welcoming team members to the culture? When was the last time the pay practices were reviewed for compliance with state and federal requirements? Winning Work Teams, Inc. can assist in this review process to ensure your own audit spots problematic issues and offers solutions for best practices and legal compliance while at the same time providing a more positive employment experience.

Employee Satisfaction Surveys

Our on-line surveys capture how the employees “really feel” about their work environment in a safe and confidential manner. We use these findings to develop strategic approaches to mitigate threats and leverage opportunities for creating an energized and positive workforce. The report card we provide can very often shift the game focus from losing to winning.

So, it’s reserved for our valued clients!
