At the heart of any organization are the people who work for it. When they feel empowered, supported and understood, they do their best work and organizations flourish.

The Group Forward helps organizations strategically build positive team dynamics, engaged learners and caring communities. Some call this work organizational development; we just call it moving groups forward.

Facilitated Training, Workshops, and Coaching for Virtual & In-Person Groups

We work with a broad range of organizations in a variety of industries — from schools and nonprofits to startups and Fortune 100 companies — who are all facing the similar challenge of creating an environment where employees can thrive and produce their best work.

With the advantage of an outside facilitator, the team (including management) has the freedom to fully participate and focus on building the intentional team dynamic that is desired for these sessions. The facilitator can focus on the right process and the group can focus on the right content and context that will help move their team forward.

Remote Work Makes Relationship Building Harder

So many teams in the last two years under pandemic, remote-first work realities have had limited relationship building, team building and professional development opportunities outside of their work requirements. Teams often thrive when they are able to build positive relationships together (sometimes outside of a work context) where they ‘connect before content.’

The Group Forward offers virtual facilitation and virtual staff retreat programs — or staff gatherings as we like to call them. Whether you are planning your first corporate retreat for your newly remote team or want to give your team change management training, we can build you a white glove program that suits your specific needs.
