Consulting Services

Attracting and keeping talented employees, becoming an employer of choice, and being known as a great place to work are all smart business strategies in today’s competitive business world. BrownRichards’ team of consultants specializes in helping organizations like yours assess and develop work-life programs that meet their corporate goals and employees’ needs. Let us partner with you to explore how work-life initiatives can help you.

Strategic Work-Life Consulting

Want to become an Employer of Choice or one of the 100 Best Companies to Work For? BrownRichards will look at your current programs and policies and benchmark them against others in your industry and the nation. We’ll tell you what programs you need to put in place to attract “the best and brightest.”

Needs Assessments

BrownRichards will assess the work-life issues that are unique to your employees, understand how these issues affect your organization, and develop solutions that give you a competitive advantage as an employer. We will reflect your specific management goals and expectations in an easy-tocomplete survey. Then we’ll tabulate and analyze all the survey data we collect. We’ll follow with a comprehensive report designed to give you a variety of options and a clear path so your company can move forward. In our assessment, we identify the work-life needs, benchmark best practices of others within your industry, and make recommendations for developing a strategy to implement solutions.

Focus Groups

Often done in conjunction with the needs assessment, these small-group meetings with employees document and provide rich information about employees’ family needs. The personal testimonials or case histories clarify the data we collect in written surveys.

Feasibility Studies

We’ll give you an in-depth analysis of everything you should know before you decide to begin developing an early childcare and learning center. BrownRichards’ studies are essential planning tools that highlight what you need to know and how to do it. Our studies include site search and analysis, space program and center design, financial analysis of capital start-up costs and ongoing operating budgets, management options, center staffing, and professional development. We guide you from the initial concept through to opening day. Our clients’ centers meet and exceed NAEYC accreditation standards.
