How We Do It

Our organizational consulting goals are simple: we seek to offer our clients more strategic tools to grow and manage your staff by leveraging our deep understanding of your organization. Long-term clients tell us that they value Koya's insights because we combine an outside perspective on their unique organizational challenges with an insider's commitment to the mission. We strive to build long term partnerships with our clients, and to truly understand the intricacies of their organizations and their staff. We offer a range of organizational development services to help build organizational capacity and to retain your most important asset: people.

Senior Staff Management Coaching

During the search process, we develop strong and substantive relationships with senior staff. Often clients find that they value the discerning analytical assessment component of our search services, and they hire Koya to continue to address critical issues that arise. Koya provides organizational consulting to key senior staff on an ongoing basis. This arrangement is typically structured in monthly calls with key staff to discuss organizational or personnel challenges. Koya can help you strategize and problem solve as well as spot trends and make suggestions for improvement.

Organizational Structure Assessment

Often the diagnosis of a particular challenge comes to light during a search assessment, but requires more analysis to truly solve the issue. Or perhaps a large-scale grant comes through that allows you to increase staff capacity. Koya helps you address the large-scale questions and challenges, be they acute or chronic, relating to personnel. We review all the job descriptions and the organizational chart, and make recommendations for refining the structure in order to better align your personnel capacity with your organization's mission.

Retention and Professional Development Support

Koya is first and foremost committed to finding the right people for your organization and mission. But hiring the right person is just the beginning. We help you strategize and periodically evaluate your systems for retaining those employees. We can design a career path for certain positions within your organization, or outline customized retention plans for keeping high performers. Koya can also help with succession planning for senior leadership transitions, long before the vacancy becomes a reality.

Employee Satisfaction Assessment

One of Koya's strengths is our deep understanding of the nuances of your organization. We get to know the staff, and our perspective allows us to notice the details you might miss. Building on this understanding, we offer the option of periodically helping you assess your staff. Are they satisfied with their jobs? What are they missing? What keeps them motivated and committed to the work? Through the administering of an Employee Satisfaction Assessment, we are able to provide you with a snapshot of your personnel needs and work with you to develop a plan to address those needs.
