What made us create this program?
- Nearly 40% of CEOs recognise that their company will not be economically viable in 10 years’ time if it continues on its current course, a pattern which is consistent across all sectors. – PwC’s ‘Annual CEO Survey 2023′.
- Only 23% of organisations believe leaders in their business are well equipped to lead effectively in a disrupted world. – Deloitte’s ‘Human Capital Trends 2023′.
- During 6 months of the Great Resignation, 47 million voluntarily left their jobs; 77% of employers globally report difficulty finding talent. – Harvard Business Review’s ‘The Great Resignation’; Manpower Group’s ‘The Talent Shortage‘ 2023.
- 44% of Gen Z and 43% of Millennials say they have recently left a workplace because of burnout. – Deloitte’s ‘Global Gen Z and Millennials Survey 2022’.
We recognised the growing importance of strong collaboration across teams in organisations, the impact of team cohesion on productivity, and the negative consequences of a disjointed culture. We saw Heads of People and Culture, HR Directors, Heads of Learning and Development, CEOs, COOs, and other senior leaders struggling to embed teamwork and cooperation.
So we designed this transformative training intervention for teams that are failing to communicate and collaborate effectively. This is an ideal culture change program to embed a culture of cross-departmental, organisation-wide collaborative teamwork. It improves employee retention with more engaged and motivated teams, while it unlocks collective intelligence leading to improved creativity, innovation, and productivity.
These are some of the challenges facing business leaders in a VUCA world, which this workshop helps you to overcome:
Burnout
Addressing the pervasive burnout culture that hampers productivity and drains your team’s energy and motivation.
Retention
Overcoming the revolving door syndrome by creating an environment that retains top talent and fosters loyalty.
VUCA Environments
Navigating the challenges of the volatile, uncertain, chaotic, and ambiguous world to build resilience and adaptability.
Lack of Collaboration
Overcoming silos and enhancing cross-functional collaboration to drive collective success.
Disengagement
Tackling the lack of enthusiasm and commitment that hinders collaboration and stifles innovation.
Reduced Productivity
Addressing the productivity gaps caused by misalignment, lack of purpose, and ineffective collaboration.
Fearful Culture
Fearfulness plays a large part in stopping teams from coping with rapid change, reducing productivity, and limiting innovative solutions.
Case Study
Their situation
A well known marketing agency, serving blue chip clients, was struggling with retention issues, low productivity, and poor morale. They had increased headcount to cope with growth, but cooperation was strained, stress levels high, and deadlines were missed.
They had tried team building exercises and internal interventions, meetings and one-to-one coaching, but nothing improved their team’s ability to cooperate; there was a lack of cohesion, and collaboration across departments was an ongoing blame game.
Their Head of People recognised the need for a culture change and sought immediate support to create and manage a change initiative. They approached The Hive Change Consultancy for help and advice, not knowing what to do next, having “tried everything.”
Our solution
We designed a culture change program to embed a culture of cross-departmental, organisation-wide collaborative teamwork. The aims were to improve employee retention through more engaged and motivated teams, while unlocking collective intelligence that led to improved creativity, innovation, and productivity: true teamwork.
The result
After the intervention, their team was able to collaborate and operate cohesively, with a shared sense of purpose and direction. This also improved staff retention, heightened creativity and innovation when problem solving, and increased productivity and morale.
