How do I improve employee engagement?
Meet employees' needs as people first. Now is a good time to ask, "What DO human beings need?"
We have you covered. The Successful Strengths Coaching course gives you many ready-to-use tools to immediately understand your people's needs to give them exactly what they want.
The tools and methods in this course address some of the most important human needs in the workplace. Here are a few needs you'll be prepared to meet after you take the course:
-
1People need a manager who understands and coaches them. The manager is the strongest factor in employees' engagement.
-
2People need the opportunity for development. The inability to grow at work is the No. 1 reason people leave their jobs.
-
3People need to know what they're good at. When employees know and use their strengths, they are more engaged -- nearly six times more -- and they perform better.
By attending the Successful Strengths Coaching course, you'll learn how to fulfill these basic human needs. You'll learn to meet your people where they are and coach them to where they could be.
How do I excel as a manager?
The best managers do three things well: 1) develop strengths, 2) focus on engagement and 3) maximize performance.
-
1They understand and appreciate their employees' talents and strengths and use this information to uniquely set up each person for success.
-
2They emphasize their team's engagement to ensure that workplace needs are met.
-
3They set clear expectations and performance goals, provide strengths-based feedback, and make adjustments to help their team take action.
Successful Strengths Coaching teaches you the fundamentals of reshaping how you manage people.
How do I create a great workplace?
Great workplaces develop good managers into remarkable coaches. Gallup knows more about managers than anyone else in the world. Through decades of research, we have learned that managers account for 70% of the variance in team engagement at work.
Great workplaces recognize that managers are the primary lever of change in any organization. From modeling the organization's purpose and values to coaching individual performance, managers bring the organization's culture to life and, ultimately, define how employees perceive the organization. So, if your managers don't change, nothing changes.
People come to the Successful Strengths Coaching course as managers. They leave as coaches.
