Services and packages

Choose from a mix of services, including keynotes, workshops, assessments and learning collateral, as well as reusable intellectual property to build the experience that best suits your organization. Any TTO service or package can be customized to fit your unique organizational requirements. TELUS uses the five key areas of focus to identify employee experience and cultural change improvements.

Impact assessment

The Impact Assessment starts with an online survey targeted at a specific set of employees that is designed to help build a baseline for your current organizational experience. Once its results are compiled, TTO will host an informative project team and key stakeholders keynote presentation based on our five key areas of focus. Specialized attention will be applied to opportunities that result from the assessment results and planning exercises.

Next, you take part in a deep-dive discussion with your project team and if desired, key stakeholders, in an activity-based workshop designed to help build your strategy, define objectives and plan how to implement the recommended changes.

This package is best suited for organizations considering changing their organizational experience. The TTO process engages any identified team members to introduce concepts that help identify opportunities relating to the team’s ambitions for change.

Organizational effectiveness assessment

The Organizational Effectiveness Assessment is a detailed and in-depth evaluation of your culture and people practices. The assessment can include face-to-face interviews, focus groups and online surveys designed to develop a realistic impression and analysis of your current status, needs, and opportunities. Full-day activity-based workshops with key stakeholders dive deep into TTO’s five key areas of focus, and include an assessment outcomes review that identifies next steps.

TTO will also provide a detailed recommendations playbook and strategic development support plan to ensure that your business outcomes are met, and that the right strategies to transform your culture are identified.

This package is best suited for organizations requiring a full assessment of their organizational culture and employee experience before embarking on any transformational journey. TTO will support you to build realistic strategies and a measurable cultural baseline that you can track as you work through your recommendations playbook.

Lee Knafelc
SVP, HR

"TELUS provided a play book of recommended strategies to improve our use of resources, technology and programs. It is respectful of our current state and readiness, while also giving clear direction and recommendations for the future of learning and development in a connected workplace. We couldn’t be more appreciative of this valuable guidance and knowledge."

Bridget McDermid
LobLaw

"TELUS took the time to customize each recommendation to our unique circumstance. Understanding that each business has unique struggles, challenges and opportunities, TELUS did not simply provide an instruction manual on how they evolved the TELUS culture. Instead, the members of the TTO team took the time to understand the Cameco culture, and customized each recommendation to the unique needs of our organization."
