ORGANIZATIONAL DEVELOPMENT
Consulting & Mentoring
Retailers can take advantage of our hourly consulting options, ranging from owner support, manager mentoring, operational support and more.
OVERVIEW
Are Consulting & Mentoring Right for You?
Retailers looking for custom solutions can also take advantage of our hourly consulting options.
We will schedule an hour-long online meeting with the retailer to discuss whatever their needs may be. This can range from owner support, manager mentoring, operational support, employee engagement, hiring tips, improved retention, conflict resolution, development planning and more.
Consulting sessions are a helpful tool to bounce ideas off someone else, ask for feedback, get help with accountability, troubleshoot and connect with others within the industry.
By submitting your email, you agree to receive occasional correspondence from NHPA regarding association updates, resources and programs. We will not sell or distribute your email address to any third party at any time.

Culture & Core Values
We can help you customize core values specific to your operation, providing alignment for your staff and processes. These values are critical to your business, helping in areas such as hiring, training and business succession.
Communications Training
Using DiSC® Assessments, we will work together to assess your team’s management, leadership and communication style and then build a custom program to teach them how to communicate better, work together more effectively and solve problems.
Time Management
We will teach you how to build and use a customized task management system that provides total transparency and accountability to ensure all staff members are aware of their responsibilities and help your team execute and drive results.
Conflict Resolution
We teach skills to support and prepare managers and leaders to be aware of potential conflict situations and how to create an environment where constructive conflict can support effective communication and an innovative culture without causing tension or disruption.

Whether you work on the salesfloor or in the office, we can help you implement one-on-one staff development discussions and build individual and company training programs that will help you improve employee retention, communication and engagement.
