Improvement Council Jump-Start
If your workplace improvement council needs a boost, we’re ready
Does your organization or department have a Workplace Improvement Council, Engagement Team, Employee Satisfaction Committee, or something similar? These groups serve an important purpose, and they always begin with good intentions. But they can run into problems quickly.
Typical but not inevitable: Sometimes the effort turns into a time-consuming string of meetings with no visible results. Sometimes a group is established without being empowered, so its good ideas go nowhere. Sometimes the team is filled with strong personalities who bring tightly held beliefs about how things should be done, and the meetings are more like debates. Whatever the reason, the result is all too common: Frustration grows, interest declines, and an important workplace priority begins to fade.
Working smart: The fact is, these groups can add tremendous value as long as they work smart. For years, we’ve been helping new groups get set up for success. We’ve also worked with established groups that feel they’re spinning their wheels. We help them get on track so they can produce results.
Here’s how: Our jumpstart process doesn’t require a lot of time, but the benefits save considerable time in the long run. We meet (by phone, web-based meeting rooms, or in person) with groups and their sponsors to clarify and calibrate expectations, ensure alignment with organizational priorities, identify relevant boundaries, construct a seamless connection to leadership, develop a productive meeting process, and more. The decisions are converted into a straightforward plan that serves as a combination road map, tracking system, and scorecard.
Staying on track: We maintain close contact with teams — posing questions and providing insights that can help them build on their progress, keeping them up to date on emerging best practices, alerting them to potential pitfalls, helping them steer clear, putting them in touch with similar groups at other organizations so they can learn from each other, and more.
