THE COMPANY

Navigation Consulting & Training (NavCT) was founded by Martin Franchi and Shelly Meadows to support healthy work environments as a business imperative for organizational success through strategic HR consulting, training & development, and workplace harassment investigations.

Fostering and maintaining a healthy work environment makes sound business sense, can have a positive impact on the bottom line, and can differentiate your organization from your competitors. Reduced absenteeism, lower employee turnover, improved employee engagement and productivity are some of the benefits of a business that is fully supportive of their employees as well as their health and safety concerns.

OUR SERVICES

These are some of the many services we can provide your business.

Speaking Engagements & Facilitation

Have us speak at your corporate events, conferences, in-house training, or on panel discussions on a variety of topics (see “Training & Development”); By sharing first-hand experiences these topics can be engaging and extremely useful to organizations of any size.

Do you have your own training content but not the resources to deliver it to all your employees? Whether time is the issue, or your in-house resources find presenting to a large group too daunting, let NavCT take the in-class facilitation off your hands.

Training & Development

Whether it’s to support and develop our future leaders, promote health & safety in the workplace or organizational improvement, NavCT can develop and customize training to suit your needs. Examples include (but are not limited to):

• Awareness to Action: Combatting Workplace Harassment
• Workplace Mental Health: Navigating Workplace Challenges and Resilience
• Psychosocial Hazards: The Silent Killer
• Psychological Health & Safety Jeopardy
• Thriving Together: Driving success and engagement with psychological health & safety
• Other topics and customized content available on request

Workplace Harassment Investigations

Workplace harassment allegations are not uncommon in the workplace and employers are obligated to investigate. These can be challenging situations. Whether you need an independent third party to investigate and provide a report, or you’re undertaking the investigation in-house but require advice or assistance throughout the process, we can help! We offer rates that are more competitive than hiring a lawyer.

Whether you’re a small organization that needs to periodically add to your HR bench strength or a larger organization looking for on-call advisory assistance or customized training or employee coaching, NavCT is here to help. Shelly is a Certified HR Professional (CHRP) with extensive leadership experience. NavCT offers:

• HR consulting (on an hourly or pre-paid volume discount rate)

Workplace health & safety assistance and consulting
• Workplace harassment investigations (third party reporting or advisory support for investigations completed in-house)

We can also assist in drafting templates and checklists to help improve and standardize your processes and documentation and offer policy and program review.

Want to make your mandatory employee & supervisor health & safety awareness training more engaging? NavCT can provide training in person to improve effectiveness and impact; Customized training (virtual or in person) by specific health & safety topic (including, but not limited to: the National Standard for Psychological Health and Safety in the Workplace, Mental Health, Workplace Harassment, and Workplace Harassment Investigations), can also be developed and delivered to meet your needs.
