A Strengths-Based Approach to Business Success
At People & Culture, we believe that businesses thrive when teams understand and leverage their unique strengths. Recently, we partnered with Vitaco Health Ltd to deliver a Gallup Strengths and Team Charter Workshop, designed to enhance individual potential, improve collaboration, and establish a shared roadmap for success.
The Importance of a Strengths-Based Culture
When employees align their work with their strengths, they experience greater engagement, motivation, and overall well-being. Studies show that strengths-based organisations see:
✔ Increased productivity
✔ Higher employee engagement
✔ Improved team collaboration
✔ Stronger leadership performance
Our two-part workshop - Gallup Strengths Workshop and Team Charter Workshop - creates a framework that supports these outcomes, leading to sustainable organisational growth.
Our Gallup Strengths Workshop helps individuals and teams discover and harness their unique talents to collaboratively boost team performance and satisfaction. Building on from this, the Team Charter Workshop complements this by collectively creating and defining shared values, expectations, and behaviours to foster a cohesive and aligned working environment.
Workshop Journey
Step 1: CliftonStrengths Assessment
All team members completed the CliftonStrengths 34 Assessment, revealing their dominant strengths and natural talents.
Step 2: Individual Strengths Coaching
Each participant engaged in a one-hour coaching session with one of our Gallup Certified Strengths Coaches, focusing on:
- Understanding their unique strengths and how to apply them effectively.
- Developing personal growth strategies aligned with their natural talents.
- Leveraging their strengths in their day-to-day roles for maximum impact.
Step 3: Manager Coaching Sessions
Leaders received two coaching sessions to deepen their strengths-based leadership approach:
✔ Session 1: Understanding their own CliftonStrengths profile and leadership potential.
✔ Session 2: Assessing their team’s collective strengths and identifying opportunities for improvement.
Step 4: Team Strengths Workshop
A 2.5-hour session where teams explored the concept of a strengths-based workplace, using the Gallup Team Grid to visualise collective strengths. This workshop encouraged:
✔ Sharing dominant strengths to foster an appreciation for team diversity.
✔ Identifying collaboration opportunities to enhance performance.
✔ Applying strengths-based strategies to overcome common challenges.
Step 5: Team Charter Workshop
Following the strengths workshop, we facilitated a 2-hour Team Charter session, where teams established shared values and working principles. Key components included:
✔ Values Canvas - Identifying what makes a high-performing team.
✔ Behaviour Definitions - Translating values into actionable workplace behaviours.
✔ Communication & Expectations - Clarifying effective team workflows.
✔ Roles & Responsibilities - Defining individual contributions to team success.
The outcome? A practical, living Team Charter that promotes alignment, accountability, and a unified team vision.
The Impact: Real Business Results
The Gallup Strengths and Team Charter Workshop delivered measurable improvements for Vitaco Health Ltd, including:
✔ Increased Self-Awareness - Employees gained deeper insight into their unique talents, empowering them to lead with confidence.
✔ Stronger Collaboration - Teams improved their ability to work together, leveraging complementary strengths.
✔ A Unified Vision - The Team Charter became a reference point for aligning team decisions and workplace culture.
Client Testimonials
"We had an enlightening session with the PMO team and People and Culture led by Gemma Stringer and Melanie Marx. Amongst the many interesting activities and discussions we had, one that I would like to share is this activity below - not quite new, but it struck me. The first line written on this paper was using my left hand - my non-dominant hand. The second was using my right. Not only did I find it difficult to write legibly and fast, I also cannot even spell out 'strength' while I was using my left hand!
Focusing on your strengths according to Gallup's research brings out a lot of positive things in your wellbeing and productivity, eventually leading to achieving your goals. Capitalising on your strengths makes one become energetic, experience fewer negative emotions and have higher confidence and self-awareness. This is the second time I did the Gallup Clifton Strengths assessment - it gives me consistent results. If you want to know more about Gallup, your strengths and how you can be a better version of yourself, I highly recommend seeking Gemma and Mel's assistance” – Joy Ocampo, Vitaco Health Ltd.
"Thanks again for the workshops and help putting this Team Charter together. We have seen some great things as a team already come out of this” – Lauren Ainsworth
