Start with a conversation, not a proposal.
No obligation, no commitment and no sales pitch. Without an understanding of your workforce issues we cannot help or offer suggestions. If we are not the right fit, we will say so in the first conversation rather than the third.
Wellesley, Ontario, Canada, N0B 2T0
Nine fields. It takes about a minute, and it gives us enough to make the first call useful instead of introductory.
Or put the time in the diary yourself
If you already know you want to talk, you do not have to wait for a reply. Pick a thirty minute slot that suits you and it goes straight into Douglas Brown’s calendar.
Book a 30 minute consultation Opens Calendly in a new tab. Sending the form above is still the quickest route if you would rather describe the situation first.Three steps, and you can stop after any of them
No part of this commits you to anything. The first conversation is free and there is no proposal until you ask for one.
We read it and reply
Douglas reads the enquiry himself. You get a reply from a person, with either a time to talk or a straight answer if a call is not needed.
WITHIN 1 BUSINESS DAYA short conversation
Thirty minutes on what the workforce is actually doing, what it is costing and where the causes sit. You will get an honest view, including if the answer is that you do not need us.
30 MINUTESOnly then, a recommendation
If there is merit in further conversations, we will arrange a workforce strategy session to discuss specific challenges and impacts, followed by solution approaches for consideration. If there is not, we say that instead.
ONLY IF YOU ASKNot everyone needs the same first step
Three ways in. One of them needs nothing from us at all.
Executive Discussion
A structured thirty minutes with Douglas Brown on your workforce position, the exposure it creates and what would move it.
Put a number on it yourself
The cost calculator turns seven figures you already have into an annual cost of instability. Nothing is sent to us and nothing is stored.
Request a Stability Assessment
A request for the workforce diagnostic. It opens a conversation about scope and fit. It does not generate an instant quote.
The four things people ask first
Is the first conversation chargeable?
No. The first conversation is free and carries no obligation. We would rather spend thirty minutes finding out that we are not the right fit than put a proposal in front of you that neither of us believes in.
Do I need my numbers ready before I call?
It helps, but it is not required. Four figures make the first call much more useful: headcount, annual turnover rate, average absence days per employee, and average salary.
If you have those, the cost calculator will give you an annual figure before we ever speak.
Do you work outside Ontario?
Yes. We serve organizations across Canada and the United States. Work is delivered both on site and remotely, and the diagnostics run remotely regardless of where your sites are.
What happens to the information I send you?
It is used to answer your enquiry and nothing else. It is not sold, not shared with third parties for marketing, and not added to a mailing list. The Privacy Notice sets out what is collected, how long it is kept and how to ask for it to be deleted.
Workforce instability is a business problem before it is an HR problem.
If turnover, absenteeism or early departures are showing up in your operating numbers, the causes are measurable and they are usually closer to the front line than anyone expects.
