 Training and Development
Denise Knutson
Developing leaders at all levels of the organization has been
identified by participants in H.S. Group surveys as the most critical
leadership challenge they are facing. This was followed closely by
eliminating silos and personal agendas, developing succession plans,
identifying and developing leaders, and leading cultural change.
Pamela De Leest
Neither your company nor the workforce are the same as they were just five years ago,
and both will be very different five years from now. Today’s successful company is
leaner, faster and staffed with growing numbers of a more diverse workforce. The
competition is more fierce than ever before. Despite this, one thing has not changed
– the one true differentiating factor in business is the people who make the business
work. The competition for talent is every bit as fierce as the business competition.

It is incumbent upon companies to place a business priority on developing

talent at all levels of the organization up to and including the most senior levels
of management.

Our consultants have years of business experience with companies of all sizes.
We deliver programs ranging from executive development to supervisory training to
programs addressing specific skill sets. Each project is targeted toward the unique
needs of the participants and their specific level within the organization. Each is also
customized to your organization and its culture.

 Dual Career Relocation Assistance
Susan Murphy
A working spouse or partner affects an employee’s willingness to
relocate. When relocating an employee, your goal is to place talent
where you need it. The employee’s goal is to preserve income and
maintain quality of life. Offering employment counseling and job
search support for a partner can encourage an employee toward a
Denise Knutson positive decision.
Make our consultants your strongest allies.
The H.S. Group consultants have a solid reputation for addressing the unique challenges
relocating spouses and partners face. Often tasked with setting up the new household
while simultaneously conducting their own job search, relocating partners have a
special need for someone who can be attentive to stresses and challenges – especially as
Pamela De Leest
your employee focuses attention on the new job. Partnering with an experienced, well-
networked consultant and dedicated staff of professionals highly committed to helping
them succeed, relocating partners can tap into expertise that includes advice on
business start-up and nontraditional employment.

Companies often bring in our consultants to meet with an employee and his or her
partner during the decision-making stage, providing them a glimpse of resources that

will be available to them during the relocation and assisting in sorting through the
options before them.

The key to being successful in partner relocation assistance is using all the career
transition skills and tools available to build and cultivate a network in the new location.
