We can help you build employees’ commitment to making a difference every day, but we go one step further, inspiring them to be advocates for your organization as an employer and as a provider of services or products. We help you discover the key drivers of engagement and create strategies that motivate employees to achieve personal and organizational success.
Case Study
Challenge
A global consumer products organization announced a new vision and values, but employee survey scores showed that the organization was not highly engaged in living them.
Solution
As we partnered with this organization, the objectives were to:
Align and mobilize their multifunctional teams behind clear priorities.
Drive innovation by generating possibilities and encouraging risk taking.
Respect and fully leverage the time, talent and opinions of others.
To accomplish these objectives, we worked with the organization to:
Clarify the values and critical success factors so they were actionable
Develop the messages for the organization’s vision, values and strategy to drive business success.
Define the behaviors needed from employees to successfully bring the vision and values to life
Align the executive team to model the behaviors, build trust, and establish credibility for the new vision and values
Design sessions for managers to facilitate with employees on how to live the vision and values in their particular workgroup
Develop an employee communication and engagement strategy to continually and creatively reinforce the vision and values through storytelling
Design a spontaneous, inclusive recognition program to reinforce the desired behaviors and launch it with major event for all employees
Conduct workshops for all managers to teach them how to recognize employees effectively, both informally and with the new recognition program
Results
A year after this work began, scores for engagement survey items related to each of the new values increased by at least eight percentage points, with the exception of one value on which the organization did not commit to action. Scores for that value went down by 10 percent. As a result, the organization quickly saw the impact of walking the talk.
