“Employees just don’t seem to want to contribute.”
“We’ve tried so many interventions already, nothing really seems to work.”
“We have some change ideas, but nobody has the time to drive this.”
Do the challenges from these quotes sound familiar? This offering is designed to help you.
By uncovering the experiences and motivations behind employee behaviour, this offering reveals
underlying misalignments in perceptions of the work environment. Left unchecked, these could lead to
reduced engagement, increased turnover, and missed opportunities for innovation.
Transformations often fail because they lack a deep understanding of what experiences influence employee buy-in. One-on-one reflective interviews with employees from across your organisation give you insight into how employee experiences affect their motivation and tendency to speak up. The questions in these interviews draw on cognitive and organisational psychology ▾. Cognitive and organisational psychology explores how people think, feel, and act within a work setting. I uncover nuanced factors influencing motivation, engagement, and collaboration by understanding individual thought processes (cognitive) and the broader workplace context (organisational). Besides resulting in a status quo report describing these factors and various paths forward, these insights inform the workshop, addressing hidden barriers and creating an environment supportive of change.
Interviewed employees make sense of the interview insights and practice tools for creative collaboration. The one-day workshop fosters trust among the diverse participants and encourages creative thinking - a key benefit for leadership. The participants craft personal development and creative collaboration plans using futures thinking tools ▾. Futures thinking expands participants' view beyond immediate concerns, allowing them to anticipate diverse scenarios and long-term possibilities. It encourages to imagine multiple futures and work backwards to identify necessary actions today, rather than simply reacting to current trends. This mindset shifts participants from short-term solutions to visionary thinking, enabling them to develop innovative responses to complex issues. By combining creativity with structured scenario analysis, futures thinking helps employees challenge assumptions, break free of habitual patterns, and participate in shaping the future of your organisation.
