Thomas International Personal Profiling

Among the services we are able to offer, Barleythorpe are licensed practitioners of the Thomas International Personal Profiling range of tools. These can be used in many ways in order to improve the effectiveness of your business, including recruitment coaching and development, increasing self-awareness, and teambuilding.

These tools can provide detailed behavioural assessments which will provide individuals with a deeper insight into how and why people behave in the ways that they do; what job roles they may be suitable for, how they might work together as part of a team, making this a powerful tool which can help create extraordinary results.

Outplacement Support - Managing Redundancy

Sadly, there are occasions when people are made redundant or have to leave their job for other reasons. We can provide a tailor-made response to meet individual organisations' needs and to assist people at this difficult time.

Low cost, high quality, effective help for employees facing redundancy. We can offer a proven, caring, high-quality professional service by top-class outplacement counsellors, most of whom have worked for the traditional outplacement providers. Our fees are usually considerably lower than those charged by other organisations.

The placement rate of redundant employees into new jobs is exceptionally high because we offer a proactive job placement facility utilising our existing network of contacts. We supply training and counselling services for all employees, from the most junior to the most senior, to help them manage the effective transition from the redundancy situation.

These choices may be around business problems, performance challenges or even personal behaviours. This programme provides people with the opportunities to recognise and then bring out the best in themselves.
