Creating and sustaining high employee engagement and a positive workplace culture

In the 2015 Harvard Business Review article, “Proof that Positive Work Cultures are More Productive,” the authors cite research from Gallup and other sources to convincingly correlate employee engagement and positive workplace culture with organizational productivity.

It is a conviction adelante coaching + consulting shares and is the foundation of the creative and high impact services offered to leaders, managers, teams, and organizations. adelante believes that organizations are at their best and can most effectively fulfill their mission and vision when their people are engaged and the environment in which they are working is positive and healthy.

adelante coaching + consulting works collaboratively with organizations who want to increase employee engagement and forward the development of a positive workplace culture by investing in the following areas:

Leadership, Management, and People Development

Coaching for managers & leaders Expand

Leadership and manager development is served well by the process of coaching and can provide tremendous benefits to the whole organization when those in leadership and management positions intentionally focus on their self-awareness and development. adelante coaching + consulting offers one-on-one coaching programs for leaders and managers of all levels. In addition to the strengths coaching described below, adelante also offers managers and leaders several dynamic Everything DiSC® assessment learning tools.

Strengths-based development Expand

Through strengths coaching and team learning experiences, employees and managers learn how to “name, claim, and aim” their natural talents and strengths. According to research from Gallup, “Almost seven in 10 employees (67%) who strongly agree that their manager focuses on their strengths or positive characteristics are engaged. When employees strongly disagree with this statement, the percentage of workers who are engaged in their work plummets to 2%.”  Employee engagement is directly tied to manager success and effectiveness.

Strengths-based leadership development Expand

A strengths-based and engaged organization starts with its leaders developing their own talents and strengths as well as fully leveraging the strengths of their colleagues. Through strengths coaching and leadership team learning experiences, organizational leaders come to fully embrace the strengths approach and through their example, catalyze the momentum towards becoming a strengths-based organization.

Creating a coaching culture Expand

Coaching has become the new standard for how managers and leaders supervise, develop, and support employees. As the millennial workforce continues to grow, workplaces are shifting further and further away from command and control management strategies and embracing coaching as the most effective way to motivate and support employees. Giving timely and effective feedback is one of the most critical skills and yet, many managers and leaders struggle. adelante coaching + consulting offers training programs and strategic consulting to organizations interested in intentionally creating a coaching culture.

Team strengths development Expand

Through team strengths coaching and strengths-based learning experiences, team members identify how they can best aim their talents so that the team is better equipped to accomplish its goals and performance objectives and respond to everyday situations. Team sessions are designed to help team members name and claim their own strengths, better understand and appreciate the strengths of each colleague, and collectively explore how to best leverage the strengths of the team.

Building a cohesive team Expand

For intact teams and work groups looking for a powerful tool to dramatically increase cohesion and effectiveness, adelante coaching + consulting offers The 5 Behaviors of a Cohesive Team, a comprehensive learning and development program based on Patrick Lencioni’s best-selling leadership fable, The 5 Dysfunctions of a Team. This program includes an online assessment and facilitated team conversations on how they trust one another, engage in conflict around ideas, commit to decisions, hold one another accountable, and achieve collective results.

Developing a team charter Expand

Also known as team agreements, expectations, or norms, a team charter is something every productive and healthy team should have. adelante coaching + consulting provides facilitated workshops where team members collaboratively and authentically develop the expectations and norms they want to see their team follow. In turn, this clarity and intentionality supports a positive organizational culture by ensuring that employees know how to work best together. Sometimes this process includes training on topics like communication, conflict resolution, and tools for working better with colleagues that have different workplace styles.

Effective meeting management Expand

Meetings are a fundamental way organizations get work done. Skilled facilitation and effective meeting management are essential to ensure time is well spent in meetings. adelante coaching + consulting offers training programs for team leaders, managers, and individual contributors to improve their facilitation skills and become masterful meeting managers. adelante also provides facilitation services for occasions when team and group leaders want the opportunity to participate fully and authentically as a member of the team, such as team or organizational retreats.

Communication and Constructive Conflict Management

Effective workplace communication Expand

One of the best ways to improve and enhance workplace communication is for individuals to not only understand their own communication tendencies and interaction style preferences but to also seek to understand and adapt to the communication needs and preferences of others. adelante coaching + consulting offers one-on-one coaching and team learning sessions using the Everything DiSC® assessment as well as skill-based training programs to enhance workplace communication.

Organizational transitions Expand

An executive leadership change, a merger, an organizational restructuring…these are all events that happen periodically in the life of an organization and need to be handled with care. Seeking external support to help employees manage change and transition can provide organizational leaders welcome respite from their own challenges and help unify the organization. adelante coaching + consulting offers one-on-one coaching, training programs, and other dynamic tools to help support the people side of organizational transitions.

Team/organizational conflict Expand

Conflict is normal and natural. It happens on every team and within every organization. adelante coaching + consulting offers team and organization-wide facilitation to help resolve challenging conflicts. Creating conversational safety allows for honest dialogue and thoughtful discussion to take place, even with contentious situations and/or challenging topics. Managing conflict effectively takes practice and skill and we also provide training programs and one-on-one coaching to support the development of constructive conflict resolutions skills.

Conflict coaching & mediation Expand

Sometimes a manager or organizational leader needs additional support in thinking through the best way to manage a workplace conflict. Other times, they might need a skilled, neutral mediator to come in and work directly with staff or partners that are in conflict. adelante coaching + consulting offers conflict coaching to help support people in resolving their own conflicts as well as mediation to provide neutral support for holding difficult conversations and resolving challenging interpersonal situations.
