Program objectives
Change behaviour instead of training
Most leadership and manager development programs revolve around a false assumptions: if managers know it then they do it. We all can witness that it is not true. In fact, training and education is a low impact response to a business problem.
Help managers make better routines
Behavioural science research studies have provided evidence that there are more efficient ways to cover the knowing-doing gap and increase the likelihood of changing habits, which is probably the most relevant KPI of leadership development initiatives.
Improve employee engagement
Our People Management Fundamentals program was designed to support managers in changing their behaviours, work routines and people management habits in those areas that have the highest impact on employee engagement.
Program structure
Practice oriented workshops
Our Behavioural Change Framework offers the opportunity to build on the fundamental behaviours that have the largest impact on employee engagement. The thematic workshops are built around hot topics, like managing performance, feedback, motivation, coaching, assertive communication, stress management, time management, meetings or delegating.
Daily routines
During the development process we make sure that managers build new habits into the daily management practices. After each workshop, participants decide on their most relevant actions for their actual work situation, and alter their behaviour accordingly. They can report their experiences back to the learning group at the beginning of the next workshop module.
Follow-up sessions
In between workshops, follow-up coaching sessions in pairs help managers refine development goals and make specific commitments for action that lead to making visible progress towards those objectives.
Change habits
In reality, when a manager has a dilemma or an issue, neither a trainer nor a coach nor HR personnel is around to help. He is left alone with his memory to remember how to resolve that particular situation. We can address this issue by blending the program with our microlearning app, Act2Manage, to support behavioural change on-the-job.
Measurable results
Usage statistics have unequivocally proven that our in-situ app significantly increases the learning activity, as well as the number of commitments and actions participants make. Moreover, besides the focus topics of the actual curriculum, they engage in various other subjects included in different levels or journeys of the app.
