how to make your OKRs and people happy.
Companies don’t always make the most out of the talent of their employees.
And there’s a somewhat basic concept that could enhance all the good things, from productivity to retention, plus make their employer branding resonate more.
It’s basic, but not obvious, and it’s about noticing and valuing employees’ strengths.
People want to feel fulfilled at work, and to get there, they need to be appreciated for the impact they make.
And what’s the most reliable approach to do your best work and have real impact? Yep, leaning into your strengths.
Those skills and traits that feel so natural, you probably take for granted. The things you’re so good at, you forget time is passing by.
When companies make space for their employees to label those strengths, and encourage them to advocate for themselves, everyone benefits.
People feel more confident, take ownership, and connect more to what they do. And companies reach their business goals more efficiently.
If you want your company to make the most of your talent, you can let them know that this kind of support is out there.
Someone (me!) has already put together a workshop all about strengths and how to make them more visible.
And it’s just one of many team sessions I’ve been lucky to facilitate, so if you’re curious, just get in touch.
