Cultural change is often driven from the top and then integrated into the business through the actions of staff. Understanding the preferred working style of the Directors/Partners or Senior Management Team through the use of psychometrics is often the first step for instigating real cultural change.
Psychometrics, especially when used in a teamworking environment, help open up communication channels, creating more opportunity for honest and open conversations and feedback. Once this starts at the top, trust and openness develops and this cascades throughout the organisation. Everyone’s view is welcome, feedback is positive and constructive, and people understand more about “why” people do things rather than “what” or “how” they do it.
At Emphasis we are qualified to administer and interpret many different psychometric tools either as standalone profiling, or when combined with teambuilding exercises.
We regularly run one-day teambuilding workshops designed to inspire, engage and motivate individuals within the team to understand their strengths and development needs, enroute to transforming into a high performing team.
The key elements of the workshop include:
- the use of psychometrics and lots of interactive exercises to explore and value the contribution of everyone in the team
- understanding how teams change as people join and leave
- identifying where the team is now and how it can become even more effective
- creating a culture of trust
- giving and receiving feedback
- developing a team charter
- creating a plan for moving the team forward
Often the most difficult step can be getting started. To find out what kind of psychometric testing and teambuilding would work best for your organisation to take the first step on your cultural change journey, contact us now on 01794 874232 for a free consultation, or email info@emphasis.uk.com
