Five of the Best: Learning and Development providers
- HRM Asia Newsroom
Learning and development has long been one of the most vital aspects of the broader HR function: the “building” of talent will always be more effective and provide greater value than attempting to “buy” skills and talent from open hiring markets. But it has grown even more important in the current age of disruption and technology-led innovation. More and more, service partners are filling a vital gap across in-house HR teams, as they work to ensure their learning function is consistently best-in-class.
Here are five of the best service providers in this category:

CULTURE FORTE
+65 97849579
In any organization, managers are constantly looking for ways to improve team collaboration, alignment and engagement. The purpose of this is to improve organizational results. The reason why it is so challenging is due to poor teamwork and lack of trust.
New research shows how the brain’s genetic clarity-getting “Ambiguity Relief” process has been identified as one of the root causes of why trust and subsequently teamwork, fail. Applications of this research have been organised into a highly experiential and internationally accredited workshop using the Colored Brain™ system to harness more trust and more effective leadership and cross-departmental communication and collaboration. This simple and practical program has been implemented in governments, SMEs, and multi-national conglomerates in more than 54 countries with visibly measurable results in improved employee engagement and overall productivity.
