Employee engagement increased through adjusted roles and salary structures, aligning general and individual compensation systems.
Company Culture SWOT Analysis
An open group session was held to explain the proposed changes and gather feedback. Reactions varied: Some employees were indifferent. Some were willing to increase client contact without acquisition goals. Others wanted more input, suggesting that talent-based adjustments were necessary.
A gap analysis and project plan were developed, involving employees in every step. An agile methodology was introduced: the project plan was fixed, but its implementation was flexible. Three workshops focused on the vision and mission of the employees concerning the reorganization.
Program Development
Sessions and individual meetings were organized to create a program of desires, including HR and financial implications. Surprisingly, employees only supported the development if ownership opportunities were included. The management found ownership adjustments undesirable. Consequently, the shift towards a fully employee-driven organization was not achieved. However, adjustments to roles and salary structures led to increased employee engagement.
