New!   Quick Start for Performance & Productivity: Integrating Back into the Team

QUEST for BALANCE understands that when a valued employee has been on leave, there are a variety of issues which may prevent the employee from quickly and successfully integrating back into the team to "hit the ground running." We take a 3-pronged approach:

• One-on-one coaching with the employee who is returning. This process preferably starts one month before the return date. We work with the employee to help them anticipate the key issues that are likely to surface during the transition and to document a plan. We will continue the coaching process after the return, utilizing our resources and experience, to help them through the key changes to their work and home life, and to help make mid-course adjustments to the plan.
  
  
• One-on-one coaching with the employee's immediate manager.  During this process we gather the manager's expectations for the employee so that we can better assist the employee and facilitate communication. We also brief the manager on the employee's transition plan and ensure workability from the manager's perspective.
  
  
• Facilitation of the first team meeting upon the employee's return. The meeting will save the team huge amounts of unproductive time. It will serve as a welcoming event for the employee, provide an opportunity for open and honest communications, and bring everyone up to the same level of knowledge about important issues and projects
