How can we enhance employee engagement, productivity, and overall performance? These are the loaded questions we are asked all the time. One tactic that has gained significant traction with our clients is implementing a Gallup Strengths-based approach.
Employees look to their workplace for purpose and development. Having a sense of purpose at work helps people feel great about what they do. The most effective way to develop and empower people is to help them use their strengths. Implementing a strengths-based approach can transform organisational culture, improve employee satisfaction, and drive business success.
Understanding the Strengths-Based Approach
A strengths-based approach focuses on identifying and leveraging the innate strengths and talents of individuals within the team. Rather than concentrating on fixing weaknesses, this approach encourages employees to develop and utilise their natural abilities. According to Gallup, when employees are aware of their strengths and have opportunities to apply them at work, they are more engaged, productive, and satisfied with their jobs.
How People & Culture Implement a Strengths-Based Approach
Implementing a strengths-based approach involves several key steps:
Participants Complete The CliftonStrengths Assessment
The CliftonStrengths assessment identifies an individual's top strengths from a list of 34 distinct themes, such as Achiever, Communication, Empathy, and Strategic. By understanding these strengths, employees can better align their roles and responsibilities with their natural abilities. The assessment takes between 20 – 40 minutes.
Individual Coaching
One of People and Culture’s certified strength coaches then facilitates an individual coaching session to help them understand and appreciate their dominant strengths as well as understanding how to start intentionally using their strengths in their everyday life and daily tasks.
Manager Coaching
It is important that the leadership team understands the value of a strengths-based approach and is committed to fostering a strengths-focused culture. We recommend a session with the leaders in your business to assess the current make-up of the team and identify the needs of their team. The aim is to assist leaders to use their strengths to tackle opportunities and threats to the team as well as to increase employee engagement and motivation.
Team Session
People and Culture then facilitates a team session to promote awareness and understanding of the unique makeup of the team. In the team session, we cover the concept of a strengths-based team and have the opportunity to share and showcase each other’s dominant strengths. We use the Gallup Team Grid, which is a visual representation of the team's strengths and what makes each other unique. We discuss the importance of collaborating and how to form complementary and supportive partnerships, as well as how the team can tackle challenges and opportunities together.
Ongoing Initiatives
There are other internal initiatives and ongoing development activities that can be implemented to truly integrate and cement a strengths-based culture. We work with your team to embed and sustain the work that has already been done. To name a few of the ongoing initiatives we provide include, ongoing communication around the importance of strengths and how they contribute to the organisation's goals and integrating strengths-based practices into performance reviews and feedback processes, focusing on how employees can use their strengths to achieve their goals.
Benefits of a Strengths-Based Approach
Gallup research shows that employees who use their strengths every day are six times more likely to be engaged in their jobs.
When employees work within their areas of strength, they are more efficient and effective. This leads to higher quality work, increased innovation, and better overall performance.
Employees who can utilise their strengths are more satisfied with their jobs and experience higher levels of well-being. This reduces turnover rates and fosters a positive work environment.
A strengths-based approach encourages diversity of thought and collaboration. Teams that understand and appreciate each other's strengths can work more cohesively and creatively.
By maximising the potential of each employee, organisations can achieve greater success and growth. Strengths-based organisations are better positioned to adapt to change and meet their strategic objectives.
At People and Culture, we see the value add with implementing a Strengths-Based Approach and are here to support you in your strengths journey. By focusing on what employees do best and creating an environment that nurtures and leverages their strengths, organisations can unlock their full potential, increase individual, team and company performance and see higher levels of staff engagement.
