As an HR manager, you know that one of the biggest challenges is creating a work environment where employees thrive, develop, and stay for a long time. An important part of this work is ensuring that your leaders have the tools they need to be successful. Emotional and social competence is crucial for creating an engaging and productive work climate. By investing in these skills, you can improve both employee satisfaction and reduce turnover.
Common Challenges for HR
Unchanged Employee Satisfaction: Continuously measuring employee satisfaction is crucial for understanding the work climate. Common tools include Employee Net Promoter Score (eNPS) and Gallup Q12. eNPS uses a scale from -100 to +100, while Gallup Q12 uses a 5-point scale where 1 means "strongly disagree" and 5 means "strongly agree." If results remain unchanged over time, it may indicate that initiatives are not having the desired effect.
High Turnover Rate: A high turnover is costly and affects the organization's stability. Analyzing these data and conducting exit interviews helps identify the reasons for departures, but creating change can be challenging.
Development of Leadership Skills: Leadership effectiveness is often measured through 360-degree evaluations, where employees provide feedback on leaders' performance in various areas, such as communication, empathy, and decision-making. If these evaluations show deficiencies that are not improving, it can impact the entire organization's performance.
The Empowerment Program: A Solution for HR
The Empowerment Program addresses these challenges by developing leaders' emotional and social competence. Here is how our program can help you achieve your HR goals:
Improved Employee Satisfaction: Employee satisfaction can increase by developing leaders' ability to communicate effectively and create an inclusive work environment. We use pre- and post-program measurements to show concrete improvements.
Reduced Turnover Rate: Leaders skilled in conflict management and team motivation create a work environment where employees thrive and stay. The Empowerment Program focuses on these aspects to reduce the turnover rate. Better leadership can reduce turnover from 20% to 10%.
Strengthened Leadership Skills: The program offers comprehensive training in feedback, mental training, and behaviour design, helping leaders develop the skills needed to lead successfully. Results can be measured through improved 360-degree evaluations, where leaders' average scores can increase.
How the Empowerment Program Works
Pre- and Post-Evaluation: We evaluate leaders' current competence levels and set clear, measurable goals. This allows us to tailor the training to each leader's unique needs and follow up on their progress over time.
Value-Based Work: By identifying what truly motivates each leader, we link their values to their leadership. This creates deeper and more authentic motivation, which can increase employee satisfaction.
Letting Go of Old Beliefs: We help leaders identify and let go of old beliefs that may hinder their development. This includes challenging negative thought patterns and creating new, more constructive ways of thinking.
Feedback Training: An important part of the program is training leaders to give and receive feedback. This strengthens their communication skills and creates a culture of openness and continuous improvement.
Mental Training: We help leaders develop self-awareness and emotional calm through mental training. This includes mindfulness and stress management techniques, which can lead to better decisions and more balanced leadership.
Conflict Management: We teach leaders effective strategies for managing and resolving conflicts constructively. This reduces friction within teams and creates a more harmonious work environment, which can reduce turnover.
Behaviour Design: We use behaviour design to create a positive and supportive work environment. This includes identifying and implementing small changes that can significantly improve team dynamics and productivity.
