Mediation and Conciliation

Our skilled practitioners are able to assist even in those areas of great delicacy and diplomacy. These may be intractable differences of opinion and judgement between staff members, line managers and their teams, or more formally, a tribunal case that a staff member has brought. We are fully cognisant of employment law as well as issues of equal opportunities and diversity and continue to provide a mediation and conciliation service that respects and gives due consideration to all parties.

Equality and Diversity

We can assist your organisation in constructing and reviewing your policies and practices with respect to promoting equality and valuing diversity. We conduct equal opportunities and race and disability equality audits to assist you in assessing how robust and compliant your policies are and whether they are having the organisational impact you require. We provide training on all aspects of equality legislation, including European directives.

We conduct training needs analysis and tailor our training input to meet the specific needs of your organisation.

Health Checks

This very useful and innovative template was developed by Professor Gus John and staff to be used as a means of providing any organisation with a clear picture of current implementation of equality legislation and policy. The health check also allows organisations to develop action plans that will provide development plans for future implementation.

Thematic Reviews

Utilising the considerable skills of the Gus John Partnership, thematic reviews are conducted through the medium of a great deal of research as well as data input by qualified field researchers into a computer template designed alongside the client to ensure that it fully meets their needs. Following analysis of the reviews, the client is presented with a detailed report outlining the process and outcomes of the review as well as key recommendations.

Leadership Development

Having run a Masterclass in Leadership and Management across the UK and internationally for the past three years, the Gus John Partnership in consultation with you can plan and deliver a leadership development and capacity building programme for managers at all levels of your organisation.

Research

Our excellent skills have been utilised in many large projects for organisations such as the Crown Prosecution Service, the Police Information Technology Organisation, and Doncaster Metropolitan Borough Council.

Coaching and Mentoring

We provide executive coaching and mentoring support to staff at all levels of the organisation. Passing on our skills and experience to your staff forms part of all that we do. However, for specific mentoring and coaching needs, we are able to provide consultants who will work with your staff on a one-to-one basis, designing a personal development programme that will include training and coaching techniques to help them enhance their problem solving and people management skills and maximise their potential.
