Resetting cultural/behavioural norms and practices to suit changing environments

As the world of work changes, so the way we work needs to adapt. Old practices and behaviours may or may not fit the new scene.

Running a process to do a stop-check and potential reset or refinement of key behaviours and practices is an incredibly valuable step in ensuring your organisation/unit/team stays agile and adapts over time. The program can include any skill building and work process changes required as a result.

How it works

  • Initiated by the Executive, Senior Leader, Team/Unit Leader or HR

  • Purpose-built to align with the direction and strategic objectives of the organisation/unit/team

  • Data informed, e.g. employee engagement survey results, pulse surveys, audit results, changes in the sector and/or regulatory environment

  • One-on-ones and/or leadership team sessions utilised to engage leaders and equip them to co-facilitate the program

  • Flagship events/workshops with employees stimulate the appetite for review, improvement and commitment to new ways of working

  • Can be augmented by skill-based training, e.g. in how to give and receive feedback, speak up, have courageous conversations, handle conflict

  • Reinforcement activities selected to suit, these may include team initiatives, group observation, individual and team coaching

  • Accountability for action plans and communications, supported by coaching/follow up to ensure sustainable change

  • Programs take 3-6 months, delivering short term wins plus longer-term satisfaction, sustainability and agility

What it achieves

  • Re-alignment of people behind a new direction or approach

  • Aligned leadership and employees

  • Shared sense of purpose and appreciation of what it takes to be successful
