Working with Strengths is a Business Strategy
According to the State of the Global Workplace report, only 23% of employees worldwide are engaged on their jobs. In the UK, the figures are as follows:
10% engaged
79% not engaged
11% actively disengaged
Chances are your organisation is somewhere here….
Gallup’s surveys reveal that strengths-based development leads to:
7%-23% higher employee engagement
8%-18% increased performance
10%-19% increased sales
14%-29% increased profit
…and you’d like it to be here.
Whether you are a large enterprise, a small firm, a charity, a sole trader or a public body, your organisation has an identity, a vision, and various moving parts.
If you take the time to identify each person’s strengths, and then allow as much as possible for those strengths to be matched to what needs to be done, you can transform your business into one which excels. You can actively use each person’s strengths to resolve stumbling blocks, and you can use the dynamics of the individuals in each team to improve overall performance.
Managers are pivotal in the performance of a business. Being aware of your own unique strengths, and then those of each member of your team, you can leverage the potential of your group to be much more than the sum of its parts. Increasing engagement in the work place has multiple benefits - less absence, higher productivity, and increased customer loyalty.
Investing in the natural talents of yourself and your staff brings dividends.
A strengths-based approach gives you a common vocabulary, and concrete tools to use in pursuit of your organisation’s values and performance. It is a framework that offers grounds for continuing discussion and development, resolving conflict and allowing access to deliberate improvement throughout the organisation, based on its most vital asset: its people.
I provide tailor made sessions and workshops for executives, managers and teams that will help you maximise your impact and growth.
