Remote Working

Increase the Motivation, Performance and Engagement of Remote Teams.

In 2002, Worth developed the highly acclaimed OSCAR Coaching Model.

With this simple model as a golden thread, our trainers have been able to inspire leaders and managers at all levels to hold focused conversations that help to solve problems, make decisions, hold colleagues to account, enhance well-being, run projects, plan for and hold more effective meetings – whilst at the same time making colleagues feel more valued, involved and supported than ever.

As organisations are embracing remote working, these skills will become even more important. Working from home will cause new leadership and management problems. Colleagues will feel left out, will crave more attention, will demand more clarity of outcomes, will have more expectations of their managers, won’t appreciate the hidden demands that managers face and won’t be getting information informally over a coffee with colleagues.

Leaders and managers will fear and feel a loss of control.

However, imagine a simple approach, where managers have the skills and confidence to hold structured conversations over the phone or via video conferencing. Setting clear outcomes and clear action plans. Reviewing and reporting performance on a regular basis – in a manner that feels totally natural to all participants and does not even feel like a ‘technique’. After all, holding a conversation is the most natural thing any of us do.

Then imagine the manager feeling no fear, feeling in control and embracing, even enjoying, this new way of working. Imagine colleague’s role-modelling their managers behaviour, learning to achieve clarity of outcome for themselves and setting their own actions to achieve them – then reviewing and reflecting upon their own performance. Imagine the sense of self-value and inclusion this would engender and the ultimate consequences for well-being. This is the unique Worth approach and our track record proves it works – and works wonderfully well.

Our expertise and passion for training leaders and managers in this approach is unrivalled. As the originators and IP holders of OSCAR, no other organisation using our approach has the experience, credibility and expertise that Worth has.

Worth’s coaching model known as OSCAR has revitalised an ailing manufacturing firm – and bagged a prestigious training award into the bargain. The most startling change has been the fall in absenteeism from 5.4% to 3%, which has saved the company £98,000 in the past 18 months.”

The ILM Level 7 Executive Coaching Programme conducted by Worth has been one of the most exceptional and transformational courses I have attended within the last 20 years as a HR Professional and I feel privileged to have had the opportunity to learn from such inspirational, courageous and talented trainers.

This level of confidence in their professionalism and coaching ability motivated the University to appoint Worth to facilitate the ‘Leading for Change’ coaching skills training for 130 of our key Senior leaders across the organisation which has been delivered to an exceptional level within a diverse, talented and challenging range of individuals.”

were looking for and needed.”

I have been working with Worth for around nine months. The opportunity to work with them arose after securing an interim promotion that came with a seat on the management board. Interim appointments bring with them significant complexities. In researching suitable support, Worth was recommended by a colleague and I was delighted when our HR team were able to secure their services.

Worth has been invaluable in providing a sounding board and constructive challenge in a supportive environment. Drawing on a wealth of experience both practical and theoretical, they have allowed me to maximise my personal impact during my interim appointment. In particular, to develop approaches to addressing the ‘people issues’ in a way that delivers change rather than mere compliance.

My success in securing my appointment on a permanent basis and electing to continue a coaching relationship with Worth speaks volumes.

We first started working with Worth in November 2012 when we commissioned them to help us develop the People Management, Coaching and Strategic Leadership skills of our Senior Managers. The quality of the leadership training, coaching and team facilitation services provided by Worth has exceeded our expectations and have resulted in us securing their services for further work with our Senior Management Team and colleagues across the business.

Worth has been instrumental in helping Cardiff & Vale University Health Board to develop and implement a coaching style of leadership that has helped transform the way our leaders engage with their teams and colleagues. Their work, including 1:1 coaching, team coaching, coaching supervision and ILM L7 Coaching training, with our Senior Management Team, Board Members, Senior Managers, Clinicians and Alternative Therapies has been truly transformational.

The leadership and management training programmes provided by Worth are probably some of the best learning we have delivered across the organisation. The quality of the delivery is superb and the support offered and the facilitators’ expansive knowledge second to none. But the real success lies in the long-term impact it is having across teams and departments; irrelevant of the nature of the services they deliver. The training makes a difference not only to the attendees of the programme – but also there is a huge positive impact on those who then are coached. I would recommend Worth to everyone.
