Why we do what we do

"It’s difficult to judge the benefits of something like a Management Development course when you are in the middle of it, and only when you go away from it and get on with the working day are you able to determine its worth.........so, I just wanted to, again, say thanks to you both for helping me develop. It meant something to me and you’ve made a difference. I believe I am a better manager than I was before. I’m less stressed, more in control and believe I have a genuine understanding of who my staff are and what they want from their time with our company."

Peter Johnson, General Manager

About Beehive

We chose the name 'Beehive' because we think it's a great metaphor for a buzzing, creative, productive organisation. It's how we see ourselves and it's what we work towards with our clients. As a 'boutique' organisational development consultancy with a passion for what we do, our aim is to help you get the most from and give the most to your most valuable resource in your organisation – your workforce. We do this by helping you:

• Develop leaders with resilience, integrity and courage who are inspirational role-models
• Develop managers that motivate and achieve
• Develop board behaviours conducive to transparency, robust challenge, and excellent decision-making
• Engage with staff to tap into unused potential
• Promote coaching as an activity, a management style and a culture

Our mission

Our mission is to apply the principles of sustainability to organisational learning. This 'sustainable learning' approach requires two things:

• The development of a learning mindset - open, enquiring, interested
• The embedding of learning activities - review, reflection, feedback, challenge, coaching, mentoring, action learning, celebration - at every level in an organisation, from board level downwards

This shift in mindset and embedding of learning activities means clients can:

• Reduce absenteeism and staff turnover as people feel valued, engaged and supported
• Reuse knowledge through the sharing of information and best practice and through collective working
• Recycle – using cycles of learning and feedback to problem solve, increase efficiency and encourage innovation

When people have a learning mindset and know how to learn they almost always want to learn more. To find out more about what we do explore our website. Like us it's in a constant state of change and development. Feel free to contact us if you want to talk more about what we do.
