People Solutions

We offer a range of innovative solutions to accelerate your people and business to greater heights. The approach we take is consultative and we tailor our programs to your business needs to create a high performance culture.

High Performance Culture

There are many pathways to create a culture of success and high performance. Altitude achieves this by instilling a range of the following attributes into your organisation:

  • A strong vision and values understood and lived by all
  • A culture of success where high performance goals are set and measured quantitatively
  • Highly energised teams with a focus on excellent team processes and team building
  • Highly skilled leadership with an inspiring vision and coaching skills to motivate staff
  • A highly engaged and rewarding work environment with a focus on retaining and rewarding staff
  • Recruit the right staff
  • High levels of trust and open communication
  • A culture that encourages taking risks and ownership rather than blame
  • High standards of discipline exhibited by all
  • Excellent sales and customer service skills that will delight both your internal and external customers.

Cultural Audits

Do you know in intimate detail what your people are thinking, how emotionally engaged they are, or how to start making changes to your organisation?

A cultural audit is a review of your organisation that captures a benchmark measure of your current workplace environment against a best practice “high performance” culture. The audit assesses how to best leverage and create change.

The key objectives of a cultural audit are to:

  • identify the best and most effective people solutions for your organisation
  • set clear identification of baselines against which to measure future changes
  • enable leaders to address particular issues
  • set goals for improvement and measure success

The process of a cultural audit is empowering and drives change by creating awareness from the shop floor to senior level management as to how to improve and create a high performance culture. Our consultants use a mixture of quantitative surveys and “live” survey processes such as interviews and focus groups. Our aim is to use a consultative process and engage people in the way that we measure organisation's culture so that they are involved in helping us to find the best answers for your organisation.

A measurement of your current organisation identifies what your strengths are as an organisation and areas to improve. A cultural audit analyses your organisation's strategy, structure, systems, and staffs' shared values, behaviours, and skills.

Once completed, we work from proven theory and best practice to make change management recommendations for your business. This can range from introducing a new performance management system to leadership development; or a new incentive or “business ownership” system. We tailor make our solutions to inspire your organisation and employees to greater success by providing the most innovative and sustainable people solutions.

Organisations take on the personality of their leaders- this is why leadership development is essential. Leadership training and development can:

Many organisations struggle to identify leadership potential both within their organisation and in the recruitment process. We build accurate recruitment processes and use psychometric assessment to help you easily identify desirable leadership traits in new managers. Intelligence and personality of new managers can mean the difference between leader success and average performance.

Performance Management

The establishment of a truly integrated human resources system relies on the foundation of:

  • well-defined job categories
  • corresponding competency profiles
  • and a performance management system.

Often employees lack clarity around their roles, or if they are clear, other key people around them are not. This can lead to disengagement, under-performance and stress.

Altitude specialises in designing performance management systems that give accurate feedback to individuals on relevant job competencies. Our services range from analysis of one role to organisation-wide competency and performance management analysis. This can also be linked to succession management strategies, performance management and leadership development.

Performance management systems are only as effective as the leader's skills to deliver and coach. We train leaders in the skills to effectively provide effective feedback to inspire and motivate.
