CUSTOM PROGRAMS

Advantage Interpersonal Relations targets our programs to fit your specific needs, whether they involve transitions, changes, moving or integrating employees or managers from differing regions.

What makes AIR unique is the ability to respond to any organization or company with a custom set of tools. This is not one-size-fits-all. We draw from many years of workshops and training, personal growth leadership, academic education, practical experience and tried and true testing.

Some popular choices for addressing failure to thrive or the desire to create a more dynamic company are:

Discovery & Inquiry~ looking through processes, positions, people, the facility and communication to determine why a company, office or facility is not flourishing and productive.

Mergers & Acquisitions~ using the principles of change management to work with companies specifically facing the unique challenges created through blending cultures, regions, facilities, humans, duplicate positions, factories  and leadership methods.

At the basis of our curriculum is the common language of acceptance and understanding, but also the awareness of cultural differences and values not only within the multi-generational US, but globally. Time and money well spent on attending to those adjustments right away save years of misunderstanding, confusion, and lack of communication that result in loss of productivity, efficiency, loyalty and valuable employees.

Let us create a program specific for your unique situation.
