Challenge

A leader at a mid-cap Australian business had been with the business for six months and had taken over from a previous leader who was reputed to be toxic.

They had recently re-measured employee engagement via the AON Hewitt Engagement Survey and had received the reports.

The engagement score was 41% with 21% of people actively disengaged. Engagement had been in a steady decline over the past three years and this recent one had a wide spread amongst various teams, with a level of 0% in one functional area. Their employee engagement strategy needed to be a critical aspect of their plan moving forward.

They needed to:

  • Respond to these results and ensure employee satisfaction
  • Establish employee desires through work-shopping sessions
  • Invest in employees and retain talent

About The Business

The client for this project has chosen to remain anonymous. They are a mid-cap Australian organisation.


Employee Engagement scores have improved to 60% in a short period of two years through a sustained effort by the executive team in improving communication and providing clear direction to the teams through several inclusive processes.

Solution

The discovery process was done through one-on-one interviews and a quick share of key strengths in a team meeting.

This was the groundwork for continued efforts with the team using two key diagnostics to enhance emotional agility and boost individual thriving through disciplined reflection processes.

The core philosophy that drove the design of the program was that a shared understanding of each other’s values, desires and strengths would lay solid foundations for trust and enhanced collaborative work that was based on knowledge of the diverse frames of reference for each of the team members.
