Experts in people-at-work

Since 1998 Equisto supports employers, company physicians and insurers. Our human resource interventions cover the whole range of employee aspects. Company cultural change, mobility, absenteeism, anxiety, lack of involvement, poor performance, management, 'islands', individual and collective conflicts, communication, collaboration, adhd, autism, dyslexia and giftedness.

Operating from coherence
Equisto operates from the vision that an organisation is (like an organism) a system of interrelated and interdependent parts, which together form a whole. So an employee is not only an individual person but also part of a 'department' and of the organization and also operates in a particular industry.

Equisto tackles your problems in the organizational and individual level not isolated - the so-called 'firefighting' - but from a predetermined integral approach. With Equisto your interventions are more profitable and you're not running behind the facts.

Products
At the organizational level we can make - and operate from a strategic plan. With this plan in mind we work on the individual cases and therefore our clients make a double profit: improvement of individual output and wellbeing, as well as enhancement of organizational performance.

Our workshops aim on managers to optimize their mix of coach-and-control. For employees we offer a mental health training and advice.

Examples
Situations that occur and 'files' that grow around individual employees, we can deal with from the integral vision. A conflict with an entire department relates to individuals, management style and organizational culture. Resistances when employees have to move on to an other job (fysical and mental mobility) are not only related to the loss of their job, but also to latent problems in the personality and to the leadership style of the manager involved. In a non-profit organisation relationship between the board and its staff, and the managers of departments influence the realisation of ambitions and how individual problems are taken care of. An entrepreneur who is ill, has next to his ailment, a problem in his company and will have to achieve an attitude change.

Method
Once the evident signals are clear (like communicational problems, burnout, conflicts and disfunctioning), we dig up the deeper, multi-dimensional causes. Our approach is integral and multi-disciplinary. Integral: a person is born with a set of genes, or talents and limitations. Together with his or her personal history (environment, education, culture) a personality grows. The performance and behavior of an employee is determined by this personality in combination with the environment of a specific organisation, culture, manager and colleagues.

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

This requires a multi-disciplinary team, in which the experienced coach leads the process from a generalistic point of view, and manages the input of specialists. The coach has his focus on the complexity of the whole person in a concrete situation, and constantly bears in mind the aims of the coaching process.

European projects
On the European level we create and participate in projects aiming at the employer and his employees. Some of the subjects are: 1) Coaching approaches, practices and theories; 2) ADHD, Dyslexia, Autism and Giftedness; 3) Exploring talents, taking limitations (handicaps) into consideration.

At the moment we are looking for employers to participate in our next European project, which is aiming on employers who want to invest in discovering the useful talents of "employees with special brains" (giftedness, autism, adhd, dyslexia). See page  European Projects.
