Team Member Engagement: Employee engagement is a game-changer that can transform a group of employees who are merely putting in time into a team that supports your goals and initiatives. GEP experts work with you to develop a plan for employee engagement focused on five core strategies.
- Communicate Values. Culture is created and maintained by the values of the organization. If you as the leader value integrity and you do what you say you will do, your organization will possess integrity. When team members are frequently reminded about organizational values and then witness those exact values in action in the workplace, engagement will be positive.
- Share a Meaningful Vision. A visionary leader clearly communicates where the team is headed, why they are going there, and how each team member fits into the journey. Seek to communicate the real vision of your organization. Help team members understand the strategy behind the direction of your organization. When you share and live a compelling vision, you may also create followership. When team members clearly visualize what the future holds for your organization and for them, magic will happen.
- Recognition & Meaningful Feedback.
- Coaching and Development. By helping people grow and learn, you better position them for current and future success. When team members feel that they are being helped, a stronger connection to the leader is made. Not only does coaching and development create a personal bond, but it engages team members in an important activity within your organization. Remember, when team members grow and develop, so do their leaders.
- Inform & Involve. If you want your team members to be engaged in your business, involve them in your business. It is a simple formula. The more you inform and involve your team in what is going on (now and in the future), the higher their level of engagement with your business.
Diversity and Inclusion: Diversity and Inclusion strategies and tactics must be job-relevant, skills-specific, and assist team members in understanding current workforce and marketplace realities. Organizations which tie diversity and inclusion to their business strategy increase performance, productivity and customer satisfaction. GEP utilizes a strategic comprehensive diversity process that supports a broad definition of diversity/inclusion and is tied to the goals of the organization. The emphasis is on creating a supportive learning environment utilizing consultation, training programs and team meeting tactics containing skills development that answer the question “what can I do differently to be more successful and get results in my areas of responsibility?”. Our consulting and training programs provide meaningful, relevant content and impactful delivery that assist organizations in tying diversity and inclusion to each team member’s role for:
- Understanding diversity and its role as a critical business and individual success factor
- Gaining the key competencies for leading a diverse team, being a successful team member and serving multicultural and multilingual customers
- Recognizing individual frames of reference and filters and understanding their impact on meeting personal and business objectives
Gaining skills for working productively and respectfully with all team members and customers and for leveraging the talents, skills and experiences of everyone to meet individual and organizational goals
