Employee Engagement Assessment
Orange Grove clients using our research-based survey receive valuable employee engagement feedback & suggested initiatives with minimal budget impact. Using an all-employee survey, we analyze themes for leadership to consider and offer targeted suggestions for improved culture and engagement using statistical analysis to prioritize the most impactful areas of focus.

Culture & Climate Organizational Assessment
Our proprietary assessments offer a deep-dive of organizational current state across and up the organization through an easily accessible visual scorecard. Using a combination of qualitative and quantitative information, we provide a comprehensive assessment of talent management, engagement, culture, leadership effectiveness, and other areas in the form of a scorecard report with identification of key challenges & specific solutions.

HR Data Analysis
Orange Grove can utilize your existing quantitative data set through our statistical analysis to understand trends & measure progress. Using HR data, we provide an analysis in the form of a report & proposed recommendations.

Compensation Analysis & Pay Equity
Our comprehensive compensation analysis evaluates pay for positions against industry and regional benchmarks, identifies opportunities for internal alignment, and provides strategic recommendations for raises and cost-of-living adjustments to ensure competitive and equitable compensation. Our pay transparency solutions help companies navigate compliance with emerging laws by analyzing compensation structures, identifying disparities, and providing clear strategies to communicate pay practices transparently and equitably.

Strategy & Planning
We offer a range of solutions for talent management strategy building on a range of topics, including: culture & belonging, recruitment & onboarding, employee engagement, return to office (RTO), pay transparency, as well as other challenges.

Training & Development
Orange Grove integrates cognitive-behavioral research into skill development to ensure participants practice applying newly learned skills. Theory put into practice – we teach skills to build 21st century leadership skills and employee civility skills – because lectures alone don’t work. Using the latest in adult-learning for both virtual and in-person training, use highly interactive and engaging approaches to increase learning retention.

Facilitation & Process Facilitation:
Orange Grove Consulting offers skilled facilitation services for a range of situations: 3rd party/objective facilitation to lead discussions about an immediate way-forward plan when an independent voice is necessary; to support in the creation or optimization of work processes; customized guidance to create agreements for working group guidelines.

Women In Leadership Programs
Our Women In Leadership Programs help transform organizations into more diverse and engaging workplaces. Live on-site or virtual multi-session programs uniquely address the underlying assumptions of what it means to be a high potential woman. We help develop more confident leaders and key influencers. Women emerge from these courses with a clearer vision of career success, a personalized go-forward plan and a new set of advanced leadership skills to help them increase their impact on the organization.

Implementation & Support
Implementing process and cultural changes around talent management are like any other change project – there is resistance and struggle to accept the new ways of working. Implementation requires in-depth planning to incorporate communication, training and transitioning from historical approaches. Our consultants are experts in change. We can help you build change management processes within your implementation approach.
