Franchise ISEOR<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Since 2020, PGF has worked closely with the Institut de socio-\u00e9conomie des entreprises et des organisations <\/em>(ISEOR), becoming an official franchise in the Spring of 2022, and through this work building a bridge between Ottawa and Lyon, France. Today, we deploy socio-economic management methods through many mandates with our clients and partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Founded in 1975 by Henri Savall, ISEOR is a research center within the Lyon 3 University created around the idea that social and economic performance shouldn\u2019t be seen as opposite, but as two sides of the same coin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using this methodology in conjunction with ISEOR, PGF helps organizations tackle hidden costs \u2013 the economic impact of social performance \u2013 by examining areas of improvement throughout six key themes: working conditions, organization of work, communication-coordination-consultation, time management, integrated training, and strategic implementation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To find areas of improvement, ISEOR has developed participative and structured tools and processes that engage organizational actors at all levels and improve socio-economic performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since 1975, ISEOR\u2019s methods have been tested, developed, and honed through more than 2,400 research-interventions cases carried out in 46 countries (35% public sector, 38% industrial sector, 27% service sector). Drawing from a rich database, ISEOR has demonstrated that hidden costs in organizations average between $30,000 and $70,000 per employee every year. Also that with robust change management tools and process, it is possible to recover up to 40% of these within a year of a successful intervention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
