Employee Opinion Surveys:
In order to build a better tomorrow we must understand and face the problems of today. The VBP Group believes the collection of employee opinions through carefully structured surveys should be a top priority within any organization. Through searchable data collection we can assist management to recognize human resource trends within their organization and provide valuable insights for human resource improvement. In this way, the VBP Group helps our clients better understand employees’ needs and concerns, leading to enhanced performance.

Employee Exit Interviews:
Exit interviews are a proven tool for human resource management. They are especially useful in assisting an organization to transition smoothly. In addition, employees exiting the work force can provide management with candid first-hand insights into determining the human resource needs of an organization and the possible avenues for improvement. This tool will help organizations stay in touch with their workforce, resulting in fewer instances of litigation.

Recruitment:
There is a tremendous demand in the Federal Government and private industry for highly qualified diverse executives. Our combined years of government experience, along with the contacts of the VBP Group principals, provide the experience necessary to assist Federal agencies and private industry in the recruitment of highly qualified applicants. Because of our unique relationships with Historically Black Colleges & Universities, Hispanic Serving Institutions, 1994 Tribal Colleges and similar community-based organizations, the VBP Group is in a unique position to offer recruitment services for executives and entry level applicants.

Employee/Applicant Assessment:
The VBP Group has developed a new system to deliver a range of tests to applicants and to existing employees to assess and summarize a variety of performance criteria. This system is capable of storing the data and supplementing additional data that can be used in the employee’s performance, development and deployment assessment (career management and succession planning). The data can also be integrated so that management can readily access it to plan and track their employees’ development and training needs.

Skills Management:
Properly identifying the skills and assets that each employee brings to an organization and matching those skills with the needs of the organization are essential to successful management. The VBP Group assists organizations by helping to identify skills of employees within an organization, thus letting management know where to allocate resources to improve the performance of their workforce.

Culture Blending:
Mergers are the order of the day. As companies grow and merge with other companies, or when organizations within a single company merge into another, a need may arise to assimilate two or more diverse cultures into one cohesive culture. The VBP Group is poised to address such needs. Realizing the sensitivity involved when merging cultures, we work very closely with the organization to ensure that the needs of the competing cultures are merged into one.

Capturing Institutional Knowledge:
Capturing institutional knowledge is a key to the success of any organization and is especially important when an employee with significant institutional knowledge departs. The VBP Group has developed a one-of-a-kind program that captures this institutional knowledge and creates both a readable narrative and a searchable database.

Pro-Active Management Communication:
The VBP Group has developed models to assist public and private sector organizations in communicating effectively with their workforce as well as their external constituents. Application of these models results in fewer legal challenges to policies and changes implemented within an organization and in a unified culture throughout the workforce that makes the employee and outside organizations stockholders rather than antagonists.
