| Workforce Assessment |
| A good working environment between team members will always yield positive benefits, for staff, management and the organization as a whole. CPDS psychologists operate at all stages of workforce development, from initial recruitment and creation of effective project teams, to the maintenance of a healthy working culture for well established employees.
CPDS associates have at their disposal a unique assessment tool, the CMATool, which enables organizations to be proactive in ensuring that the "right people work with the right people". - A good fit CPDS associates help organizations maintain a working atmosphere that maximizes team performance, by focusing on factors like shared understanding of the team mission statement; team goal setting; and overall improved communication and problem solving between the team members. |
| Service Assessments |
| Service Assessments are often the most cost effective way for an organization to evaluate whether targeted objectives and goals are being met. Service Assessments can also play a critical role in planning future development and prioritizing resources.
CPDS associates use market research, surveys and feasibility studies to help clients find out about their current service provision. Any gaps in service delivery are identified, which helps to direct the development and implementation of appropriate, new projects. Our input enables clients to capitalize on areas of strength and support areas in need of development, which lead to more comprehensive delivery of high quality services. |
| Training Programs, Development, & Delivery |
| CPDS associates work with clients to ensure that professional training is sensitive to the welfare of the organizational culture. Each training package is outlined in terms of concrete outcomes and these are agreed upon by the client prior to the commencement of any services. Interval-based evaluations are automatically included and are used as metrics of outcomes. This helps to ensure that the training package accomplishes what it was intended to do. Participant’s feedback is considered highly valuable.
CPDS creates training packages that not only address the organization’s specific and unique requirements, but also enhance the professional experience of staff, by being responsive to their development needs. |
| Behavioral Research and Evaluation |
| Behavioral research provides policy makers with concrete information about the success or failure of a program, product or policy. It often provides the most illuminating snapshot of currents trends, and can highlight areas of excellence and ways in which services can be improved.
CPDS associates are experts in behavioral research, and will identify how empirical evidence can best address practical problems. Our psychologists can also help clients who need to evaluate projects that are already underway and our experts can assist in the design, creation and analyses of databases. CPDS associates can also help clients formulate project ideas into grant applications, and will assist in identifying appropriate funding opportunities. |
