Show up as an organization

‘Engaged’ employees positively impact business performance. Disengaged employees have the opposite effect.

In all the interviews I’ve done with employees over the years in 1on1s, roundtables and exit interviews there are two components that affect engagement the most: the manager and the opportunity for career growth.

“People leave managers, not companies” is an often-made statement but there is a lot of truth in it. 
Research by Gallup® says that “70% of the variance in team engagement is determined solely by the manager”*, and yet so often, investment in managers isn’t prioritized. 

So how can you ensure your managers show up to be the best they can be?

What if every manager were ‘onboarded’ with the same essential skills, behaviors and norms of your organization?

What if managers were experts in how to leverage the strengths of each member of their team, and those of the team as a collective whole?

What if every manager had the tools and knowledge to coach, rather than 'manage’?  

And how can you ensure career growth is known, transparent, and an integral part of manager-employee conversations?

What if you defined capabilities for each role so that every person had a transparent guide to what they needed to do do grow in their career… or change to a new role?

What if you created a career path for your managers, so that succession planning never became an issue?

I’ve created manager excellence programs that transform an organization’s success. I’ve created employee programs that create a culture of co-accountability. And I’ve created role competencies and career programs that provide clarity and opportunity for everyone to grow.

Let me help you set the stage for an engaged employee base so business performance soars, even during change.
