| Conciliation |
| |
Conciliation
is a process of enabling parties to reach agreement on
matters in dispute. At the end of conciliation, you should
feel that there has been no 'winner' or 'loser', but that
you have come to an arrangement
that you can all live with. Conciliation can help to reduce
stress, anger and misunderstandings and improve communication
between you
and
the other party. We provide conciliation and mediation to private clients (individuals
and couples) and to corporate clients.
Mediation has similar qualities to conciliation, but with
additional input from the mediator to advise as to the
content of the agreement.
Our experience has shown these methods to be effective not
only in matrimonial disputes between separating partners,
but also in organisations where miscommunication and
misunderstanding impact on effective working.

| Managing Organisational Change |
| |
The handling of organisational change is a wide brief
that places great demands on your leadership qualities, your communication
skills, your imagination, and your gift for making rapport with
different human types. So benefit from employee counselling, stress
management training and the consultancy expertise of Swan Assessments.
It stands to reason that all the necessary skills may not be available
under your own roof at one time, and that specialist help may be
needed at certain intervals. There is also a particular advantage
in bringing an outside view to bear on continuing problems that
you may have got too close to. |
| Team Building |
| |
A
team is a group of people who are jointly responsible for
achieving a shared goal. If one member fails, then it can
hinder the achievement
of the collective
goal. Even if the members fulfil their individual roles but they don't work
in synergy, then they may not fulfil their potential or achieve as much as
they could. Swan Assessments are experienced in designing and planning a
program of imaginative team building activities. |
