Our Sixth Sense: Feeling and Growing People

Technology can do a lot, but growth remains a human endeavor. Our coaches and trainers combine a therapeutic background with HR knowledge. This way, we can sense what is going on, what is not being said, and know how to get people moving.

✓ We see the person behind the function
✓ We feel what someone needs to grow
✓ We translate insight into concrete steps

Why invest in people in times of AI?

AI is taking on more routine tasks: writing texts, analysing data, creating plans. This changes what is expected of employees and managers. Technical knowledge is aging faster, while human skills are gaining in importance. Organisations that invest in the growth of their people are better prepared for what comes.

Hard skills and soft skills: what is the difference?

Hard skillsTechnical and professional knowledge, such as mastering a programme or creating an accounting system. This can be learned through training and increasingly supported by technology.
Soft skillsHuman skills such as communication, collaboration, empathy, leadership and handling change are more difficult to automate and therefore increasingly valuable.

The skills that are gaining importance

✓Communication and connection, also in hybrid teams

✓Leadership that provides direction and confidence

✓Working together and constructively addressing conflicts

✓Resilience and dealing with change and uncertainty

✓Learning ability: continue to grow in a rapidly changing world

What is talent development?

Talent development is the targeted growth of employees’ qualities so that they can utilise their potential and strengthen the organisation. It goes beyond a training budget: it is a way of looking at people.

We start from the 70:20:10 model:

70%learning in practice, through challenging assignments and experience
20%learning from others: feedback and coaching
10%formal education and training

That is why we always combine training with coaching and application in daily practice.

How can growth be made sustainable?

Growth becomes ingrained when it becomes part of the culture: leaders who coach, regular discussions about development, space to experiment, and attention to well-being. In this way, learning becomes not a one-time event but a habit.

This is how we let people grow

STEP 1Insight

Where are people and teams today? Through conversations, an assessment or a scan.

STEP 2Development plan

Together, we determine which skills make the difference and how we develop them.

STEP 3Growth

Coaching, training and application in practice strengthen each other.

STEP 4Anchoring

We monitor and make growth part of the way we work.

“The added value of attendo is a truly pragmatic and tailor-made approach. It is a professional organisation that uses knowledge and expertise to provide insight and progress.”
