As a leader in the human resource management and consulting services industry, Halifax-based Vale & Associates has a wide range of expertise and takes a unique approach to consulting.
Local Solutions, Global Success
The company works with its clients’ senior managers to understand business needs and key drivers within each company. Vale & Associates then provides its clients with an opportunity to both grow and better manage their businesses.
Vale & Associates focuses on medium-sized, knowledge-based organizations that are poised for growth. To ensure its clients’ continued success, the company establishes human resource strategies, policies and practices for the client that aligns with the client’s overall business strategy.
The company provides clients with expertise in human resource strategy and advisory services, training and development, and executive coaching. Vale & Associates has a strong value proposition with four key areas of strength: client-focused, collaborative, professional, and on budget, on time.
Although Vale & Associates has a wide client base, each client focuses on the same thing: continued success. Future success comes from a strategically planned path and a clear direction as to where the company is going (shared by all employees).
Business Result Achieved: Opportunity
Trade missions are undoubtedly opening many doors for Vale & Associates. These missions have doors to numerous opportunities for the company to expand its footprint and leave an impression in global markets.
Vale & Associates has an impressive portfolio. The company serves clients across Canada, the U.S., Africa and the Caribbean. In fact, Vale & Associates has participated in two NSBI trade missions to the Caribbean and has returned to market using Nova Scotia Business Inc.’s Go-Ahead Program (GAP). Proving to be much more than just an exploratory trip, the company walked away after its 2006 trade mission with a signed contract in Trinidad.
Since then, the company has secured a number of other contracts both in Trinidad and St. Lucia. Vale & Associates’ goal for the second trade mission in 2007 was to expand its presence even further across the Caribbean. The company has a pending contract in St. Kitts as a result of that mission.
