Orange Grove Consulting’s engagement assessment offers a research-backed, multi-dimensional view of the employee experience. We measure three subtypes of engagement — cognitive, emotional, and behavioral — to capture how employees think about, feel about, and act within the organization. Each type has been linked to outcomes like improved performance, reduced turnover, and stronger organizational citizenship. Our proprietary, mixed-methods survey is customized to each client and analyzes both quantitative and qualitative data for a deeper understanding of workplace culture.
Beyond measurement, our analysis connects directly to action. We provide targeted recommendations on how to improve engagement through specific training and development efforts — from manager skill-building to leadership communication practices. Results help clients prioritize investments that strengthen retention, increase trust, and improve team effectiveness.
Many employees — including managers — struggle to initiate hard conversations, whether it’s addressing performance concerns, delivering feedback, or raising sensitive issues with peers or leadership. Avoiding these conversations can damage team trust, slow decision-making, and erode performance over time.
Orange Grove Consulting’s workshop equips participants with practical tools to approach conflict and/or difficult conversations with clarity, empathy, and confidence. Grounded in adult learning theory and cognitive-behavioral techniques, the training combines structured frameworks with applied practice. Participants learn how to prepare for high-stakes conversations, manage emotional dynamics, and build communication habits that foster psychological safety. Ideal for leaders and teams alike, this session can stand alone or be integrated into broader leadership development programs.
When off-the-shelf solutions fall short, Orange Grove Consulting partners with organizations to co-develop leadership training that directly addresses their unique challenges and goals. Our programs are built around your organizational context — whether you're addressing a specific skill gap, reinforcing internal initiatives, or supporting a cultural shift.
Grounded in research and adult learning theory, our training is designed to be practical, interactive, and immediately applicable. We work closely with internal stakeholders to define learning objectives, tailor case studies and examples, and build content that reflects your organization's language, leadership expectations, and strategic priorities. The result is a highly relevant training experience that drives meaningful behavior change and aligns with your broader talent development strategy.
