Barger, Cowart & Kenney Initiates Employee Assessment and Executive Coaching in Asia

Charles A. Cowart, Ph.D., Atlanta-based psychologist and Managing Partner of Barger, Cowart & Kenney, LLC (BCK), a corporate psychology firm, recently traveled to Bangkok, Thailand, to initiate consultation services with a major distributor of seafood in Southeast Asia.

Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) July 25, 2005 -- Barger, Cowart & Kenneys successful consulting with a supply and distribution client in Europe and the Middle East resulted in a referral to the Bangkok-based distribution company. The seafood distributor was experiencing similar difficulties with employee turnover and organizational misalignment. To address these concerns, Dr. Cowart met with executive management on issues of employee selection, retention, and development, and proposed that a selection assessment process be implemented to address these issues. Dr. Cowart is scheduled to make quarterly trips to conduct pre-employment assessments to assure goodness of fit" between the candidates and the company and, thus, increase retention. He will also focus on implementing a corporate employee development plan, as well as assist management with team-building and executive coaching.

Barger, Cowart & Kenney has been focused on increasing their international business over the last year and a half and is excited to be expanding into Southeast Asia. There is great opportunity for mutual learning when you work with diverse cultures," stated Dr. Cowart. It is important to keep these cultural differences in mind as you approach problem issues within an organization. Cultural norms and mores must be taken into account in order to successfully implement change and assist organizations in obtaining their goals."
