Leverage Services helps you to ensure that you recruit and retain staff with the right attributes. We are committed to provide capacity building for social workers, social care, health and educational staff recruited from overseas.
We contend that people’s interactions and connections with colleagues and clients is critical and influences individual happiness, performance, and how well they successfully blend and collaborate within teams.
Leverage Services will help in the recruitment process to ensure that there is alignment between individual and collective values which we believe is critical and highly influential in the organisation’s ability to retain staff and effectively support its clients.
Our cutting edge and bespoke approach to recruitment leverages traditional recruitment approaches which do not adequately place emphasis on these factors. As Leverage Services, we are better able to support people well and are equipped to build a healthy, happy workforce that wants to stay.
Our support is aimed to enhance high standard of care, professionalism, ethics, and good practices. This can be administered individually or group settings by professionals who have been through the journey of transition from Africa, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, United States of America, South Asia and other continents. Our consultants are culturally competent and fluent in different languages.
