Employees that feel their companies invest in them are then typically more invested in the success of their organization. This session will help participants discuss steps to address and enhance a positive organizational culture, through the use of their organizational policies, benefits, and services.

Group and Team Development

The term "group dynamics" describes the way in which people in a group interact with one another. When dynamics are positive, the group works well together. When dynamics are poor, the group's effectiveness is reduced. Essentially, "the whole is greater than the sum of its parts." Based upon the organization's request, this session will focus on expanding the content (from one of the earlier sessions) to a specific team or group (i.e. CliftonStrengths, KLC, MBTI®)

Conflict Management and Resolution Strategies

Based on the Thomas-Killman Model, participants will take a Conflict Styles Inventory. This self-assessment provides participants with feedback on their preferred conflict management styles. Managing conflict is assessed on a scale of assertiveness and cooperativeness. Assertiveness is the extent an individual will attempt to satisfy their own concerns, while cooperativeness is the extent of trying to satisfy the other parties.
With this instrument, our facilitator helps participants understand how using different conflict management styles affects relationships and group dynamics, empowering them to choose the best approach for any situation.

Gallup® CliftonStrengths®
More than 90% of Fortune 500 companies have used CliftonStrengths® to bring the power of strengths-based development to their workplace culture. Over 22.7 million people have taken the assessment and according to Gallup, Inc. research, people who know and use their strengths are:
- more engaged at work
- more productive in their roles
- happier and healthier
Our Gallup-Certified Strengths Coach will help participants identify their strengths using a common language. By naming the individual talents of each member of the organization, its employees can be utilized in the most effective positions. In turn, this will allow them to develop their required skills, help reduce turnover, improve employee morale, and ultimately improve the organization's overall performance.
Individual coaching is available for follow-up sessions.
Additional Cost: All participants must complete the online assessment ($10/person for top 5 Strengths Report, or $50/person for all 34 Strengths Report.)
