Vital Corporation Consultant

For appropriately experienced workplace consultants, training as a Vital Corporation Consultant (VCC) provides the core knowledge base, perspective, tools and skills required to respond constructively to the pressing corporate challenges of “employee engagement”, notably retention of key staff; performance vs. presenteeism; resilience vs. stress; and the personal plus team capacities for success in dealing with future turbulent change.

Training is focused by our proprietary EMC² strategy, integrating methods to create Energy, Motivation, Commitment and Contribution amongst employees and in work team culture. VCC training will enable graduates to be confidently effective in:

• Strategically addressing the issues of work stress, work satisfaction and job commitment, the core drivers of employee engagement …

• … flexibly within three value adding roles: consultant, trainer, and one-to-one coach.
