Healthy teams, strong SMEs
Companies that are committed to the well-being of their employees are particularly «in vogue.» Thanks to the free offerings from Health Promotion Switzerland, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are now benefiting from this as well.
Satisfied employees are demonstrably 31% more productive and three times more creative than dissatisfied ones. This makes it all the more important to create framework conditions that strengthen teams and contribute to a motivating working atmosphere. In times of a shortage of skilled workers, this is a real plus.
Tools suitable for everyday use
To ensure that the usually scarce personnel and time resources in SMEs do not put a spanner in the works here, Health Promotion Switzerland offers a wide range of free tools that can be easily, quickly and effectively integrated into everyday working life. With the "Leadership Kit" managers have tools at their fingertips that can be used easily and without prior knowledge to strengthen employee well-being and teamwork. HR managers have the "HR Toolbox" about compact and time-saving solution approaches to a wide variety of HR situations.
Better feedback with the "3W model
At Liip AG, the approximately 200 employees work agilely in self-organized teams according to Holacracy. A good feedback culture plays a key role in creating a positive team atmosphere and achieving common goals. The digital agency also uses the 3W Model tool from the Leadership Kit for this purpose. It helps to formulate feedback clearly and constructively based on the three W aspects of perception, impact and desire.
Nadja Perroulaz, Co-Founder and Lead People at Liip: "I really like the structured design of the 3W model. It helps to get a much better feedback quality and supports teams even in more difficult situations. I recommend the 3W model and the leadership kit to teams (employees and leaders) because it can be easily and playfully integrated into everyday life and feedback is one of the most important things to 'move forward'."
The Leadership Kit provides leaders with 26 tools in these 5 action areas:
- Achieving goals enables a sense of achievement
- Meaning conveys meaningfulness
- Positive emotions promote the team climate
- Commitment puts strengths in the spotlight
- Team relationships support sustainable relationships
The HR Toolbox supports HR managers in the two subject areas:
- Acting with concrete tools for e.g. home office, healthy leadership, conflicts and mobbing
- Understanding with compact knowledge for positive impact on areas such as absenteeism, stress, motivation, employer attractiveness.
