Skill Steps: Critical Skills Learning
for the Time-Challenged Organization
 

The Marketplace Situation

A defining characteristic of high performing companies is their commitment to learning and development. Continuous learning not only makes people more effective, it is also has a motivating effect and improves retention of top talent. Employee surveys confirm that employees want exposure to new skills and to grow in their abilities.

Yet, in today’s business environment it is increasingly difficult to find the time and budget for people to attend multi-day seminars out of the workplace.

The Compass Solution

Skill Steps is a series of short, skill-building programs around critical skills for the workplace. Each is delivered live and in-person to engage the participants and facilitate learning. These one to three hour interactive learning events are perfect for sales meetings, team meetings, “lunch & learns”, executive development and planning retreats.

Each program focuses on one of the valuable skills listed below. Participants receive condensed, actionable learning that they will be able to immediately put to use. Bottom line, you get the core content of a two-day seminar in much less time and at a significant value.
