only for interviews that do not require your physical presence. Telecommuting

your body language reveals to your prospective employer something less

Employee-tailored Jobs & Other Venues for Achieving High Performance
& Job Satisfaction
The corporate know-how has it that a well developed job description
will eventually find its perfect match. Well, not all on its own,
but with the help of HR people, who first write descriptions of the
jobs they would not know how to do and then search for the people who
perfectly match their descriptions. How? Well, by screening resumes
and cover letters and making sure that a job candidate can do the job
well.
That know-how has been little questioned and its negative effects have
yet to be fully examined. Meantime, it is fairly clear that matching
prospective employees to job descriptions is a major contributor to
both employee job dissatisfaction and high employee turnaround.
Why? Because most employers do not utilize their employees best talents
and skills and, thus, have very disinterested employees, who work only
because "it pays".
At Corporate Psychology & Mental Fitness,LLC, we have pioneered in
designing jobs that fit employees' talents and growth potential.
We achieve not only high employee job satisfaction, but also make entrepreneurs
out of many an employee. Why not everybody? Because not every
body can be entrepreneurial. And that pertains to both human and
corporate bodies. In short, entrepreneurs are willing to take
risks and make mistakes, which is not what many a company wants its
employee to do. The risk-taking thing is of course big on both
individual and corporate agenda. But it mostly left out of discussing
the company culture.
While preaching the goodness of risk-taking, many a company has very
unforgiving policies. People are held accountable for their incidental
mistakes and their calculated risks, and that of course does not promote
entrepreneurship. Nor does it serve well to nurturing the talents
of employees. And thus, much of Human Capital goes to waste by
the way of under-use. People are not let to and do not deliver
to the extent of their capacities. So, here is another venue we
pursue - changing the company culture from "Who did it?" to "What
we have learned from that mistake?". To find out how we can help
your company, Write to top.performance@corporate-psychollgy.com

Professional/Executive Development Consulting & Coaching
Customer- tailored coaching strategies. You decide how many sessions
you need and how often. We work on projects as they are defined by you.
Corporate contracts are available.
Very often, 1-2 hours is all one needs to deal with a problem at hand.
In fact, what most people need in stressful job situations is
to be pushed a little and made to look at their achievements and accomplishments.
For example, one of our clients, an executive working for a big
software company, was given a 2 months notice to possibly find a job
within the company or to be terminated with a big severance package.
She called in great distress. After her free 30 minute telephone
session, we met for 1 hour. She called me back in a week to tell
"Thank you very much. This is the best investment I have ever
made. I think we have sorted it all out".
For more information about coaching services, please read About
Coaching and visit www.coaching21.com
To inquire about project rates or make and appointment for a free 30
minute phone consultation, please write to Coaching21@mentalfitness.org

Work Psychology Hot Line/Employee Consulting Center (Phone and E-mail)
Corporations and other organizations may purchase blocks of time on
weekly/monthly basis. During the hours reserved for an organization,
its employees may call to "unload" their work-related problems in strict
confidence and to consult on Work-Life Issues.
There are a variety of other ways in which those blocks of time may
be used. For example: Middle Management Coaching, Working Parents Coaching,
the job termination coaching, etc..
We can provide the employees to be laid off with coping strategies
- seeing the situation as a new OPPORTUNITY rather than a gross offence
and violation. We have effectively helped such employees
with coaching, resumes-writing assistance,and sharpening up their interviewing
skills.
Amazingly enough a couple of hours of coaching is very often all that
such employees need. In fact, what most people need in such situations
is to be pushed a little and made to look at their achievements and
accomplishments.
