Kaya Consulting South-Africa
As a registered industrial psychologist, Heidi van Schalckwyk has proven experience in organisational effectiveness consulting, both as a consultant and Managing Partner of our South African practice, focusing on talent development, teambuilding, psychometrics and coaching. Recently, she was involved in building a talent pipeline within the automotive industry, as well as change management and employee performance projects.
At Kaya, we've been involved in the design, development and facilitation of organizational development initiatives since 2000. In that time, we've developed a philosophy and methodology for enhancing employee and organisational capability, based on our core values:
- Innovation
- Agility
- Quality
- Values
While we address organisational effectiveness from a psychological perspective, drawing on over 150 years of research into capability and human potential, we don't try to 'fix' people.
We believe that all people have capability and, therefore, potential. It's our job to unlock the motivators and facilitate the understanding that unleashes that potential, equipping people with the awareness, behaviours, training and discipline they need to manage and fulfil their capability.
And so we improve organisational productivity and profitability by enabling individuals to leverage their strengths and manage their weaknesses – an ethos that works.
