The senior team don’t believe in this approach
It is critical this programme has the support of your senior team. If the only message heard from your senior team is about the business needs there is the danger your people will feel undervalued and disengage.
An Even Better Place to Work is about connecting with the needs of individuals so the business needs can be met more effectively. Of course the business need is the priority but this requires motivated people which is the consequence of having personal needs met at work.
Not only must your Senior Team actively promote the values behind An Even Better Place to Work but by giving your people time from the ‘day job’ to run this programme, they will give a powerful valuing message to everyone - leading to higher levels of engagement.
By taking part in the programme the Senior Team will demonstrate they value the mindset and the behaviours promoted by An Even Better Place to Work.
"What I love about An Even Better Place to Work is that it’s both top down AND bottom up. It works for the business and for the individual too". Sarah Cooper - BAE Systems
