Grow Your People to Grow Your Business
Create an environment that empowers the best of your people without sacrificing your business imperatives.
People First: Organizational Design is now available in this done-with-you online course.
Your potential is in your people! And unless they’re your priority, they can’t deliver everything necessary to drive the success of your organization.
Many CEOs blame it all on “bad managers,” and yes, an organization can’t thrive without good leaders. But leaders only make up half of the equation. Your organization needs a great infrastructure that supports your leaders in their quest to support your people.
When leaders are boxed into processes and procedures made from generic templates, or the organization doesn’t have all the processes needed, leaders can’t succeed – and neither can your organization.
People First: Organizational Design optimizes every aspect of the lifecycle of the employee using the People First Method. From recruiting and hiring, onboarding and orientation, to regular meetings, performance tracking, and everything in between.
What you'll learn!
Discover how to attract and select the right people to work for you.
Create more attractive and accurate job postings.
Ask questions that cut through the superficial answers to those generic behavioral interview questions.
Establish an onboarding process that builds true alignment with the organization while creating efficiency and effectiveness while training.
Eliminate generic job descriptions filled with buzzwords that are simply a laundry list of all possible tasks.
Focus on key accountabilities and metrics.
Define success factors.
Build a crystal-clear performance management system with a foundation of key accountabilities and success measures, then incorporate an appraisal system that accelerates professional development.
Design meeting agendas with best practices that ignite dialogue and discussion.
WHAT YOU’LL GET
This course is in short video format so you can follow along and implement as you go. While long-term change requires upfront work, you’ll be surprised at the number of small changes you can quickly implement that make a big impact.
Each module includes a template and additional resources you can use and customize for your organization – but that doesn’t mean you just add your company name. These templates come with guided questions and exercises so you can craft powerful procedures and processes that actually serve the people that will be using them!
You get plenty of tools in this course, but you also get the guide to use them. It’s one thing to know you have a resource, it’s another to use it the right way!

Why is this course with Amy Lafko?
The main reason is that I’ve been a leader right where you are now. And as a consultant, I have helped dozens of clients who were in your shoes.
I’ve heard clients tell me that the results are tangible and that it feels better to come to work each day. That they’ve eliminated the drama and the confusion. I want everyone to have access to these incredible tools, even if they can’t bring in a consultant.
I spent 20+ years in healthcare leadership roles and my work was inspired by my personal transformation as a leader. Now I’m a best-selling author, mainstage speaker, and expert in People First leadership and organizational design. With my background in healthcare, I’ve consulted with both private practices and health systems.
I’ve also seen this work transform companies outside healthcare including manufacturing and professional services, such as accounting and law firms.
I’m obsessed with helping leaders and organizations live out their goals AND do it in a way that puts their people first.

Solve the “people problems” that hold back performance.
High turnover isn’t cheap. Neither are disengaged employees, even when they stay for years. Whether you have a group of veterans and the new people don’t stay for long, or there seems to be petty drama and distractions at work, these things aren’t really the core of the issue.
The workforce always has, and always will be, evolving. It’s up to you to make people feel heard, appreciated, and valued in their role with processes and procedures that back them up. The worst thing you can do is ignore their whispers until they turn into screams.
YOUR PEOPLE ARE THE GREATEST ASSET THAT YOU HAVE. MAKE SURE THEY KNOW IT!

FAQs
It depends (I know, I hate that answer too but the time really depends on you and your team). If you’re starting from scratch and eager to get things done, you can expect to implement what you learn in this course in about 6 months. If you have some documentation and want to revamp with the People First method, you can expect to spend more or less time, it just depends on what you specifically need. Remember, it’s about spending time upfront to build a strong foundation rather than trying to pick up the pieces after a disaster.
In some areas, immediately! Overall the entire course is not a quick fix for a sinking business. Change takes time. But each video provides very quick takeaways that you can implement immediately to see impactful results.
People First: Organizational Design is a full scope, systematic approach to your people.
