Organizational Development

Most human capital needs are first expressed through a set of position-specific expectations. We challenge you to define success beyond an individual's performance to include how she or he fits into your culture; supports team building; contributes new skills to the organization; and has the appropriate style to gain credibility and build rapport throughout the management structure.

Through our Organizational Design Receptivity Audit (ODRA), we can identify these important nuances and work with you to integrate professional and personal attributes and organizational success factors into the search criteria.

Our clients find this initial step essential to the process. We think understanding the "big picture" is one of reasons a majority of our clients are repeat customers.

Transitional Leadership
Often it is necessary to obtain leadership for a specific period of time or for a specified project. Because we are in communication with hundreds of people every day, we have the ability to tap into vast resources of talent who are available on a temporary basis. Many of our clients have utilized this service to conduct audits of existing teams or processes, to gain insight from experts on a particular problem, to fill a temporary need due to business fluctuations, or to provide leadership while a full-time individual is recruited. We treat each of these requests as we would a full-time hire. Each final candidate will be credentialed and referenced to ensure an appropriate match.

Diversity Receptivity Audit
There are many factors that result in a successful recruitment effort to enhance the cultural diversity of an organization. We at Furst Group believe a viable and successful organization is one that embraces cultural diversity and provides opportunities to continuously improve the workforce. Organizations that provide for the health care needs of a community must also reflect the communities they serve. To assist organizations in achieving this goal, Furst Group's recruitment strategies always ensure that a wide variety of resources are utilized and networks are contacted so that individuals from all backgrounds are considered. However, to truly be successful, this process begins with the client. Our experience has shown that regardless of intentions, an organization must be receptive and supportive of a culturally diverse workplace.
