Approach
Unique Strategies for a Better Future
At Green Summit Partners, our approach is based on five core principles derived from years of successful experience building engaged enterprises.
Real Change Starts with Real Dissatisfaction
To increase engagement across your organization, you'll have to change the organization in significant ways. And, successful organizational change always starts with dissatisfaction.
Why do you need to change?
What areas of organizational performance are you least satisfied with?
How are they connected to employee engagement?
What's causing the most dissatisfaction among your employees?
These are just a few of the questions you need to answer before you build the engagement plan that's best for your organization. We help you find those answers.
When a Mission Becomes Personal, It Becomes a Cause
Engaged employees feel a strong emotional connection to their organization's mission. They care about the mission, not just their paycheck. To move the needle on engagement, you need to take your mission statement off the wall and embed it into the day-to-day life of the organization. You need to make it personal and turn it into a cause.
How do your employees feel about your mission?
Do they care about it?
We can help you find the answers and use them to build and execute an effective engagement plan.
If You Don't Care, They Won't Care
The most important driver of employee engagement is how the employees feel about their leaders. Whether they feel that their leaders care about them and value their work or not. And yet, in too many organizations, leaders at every level send precisely the opposite message by the decisions they make, behave, reward, and tolerate.
We help you apply the principles of servant leadership to send the right message. Our team helps you build the kind of organizational culture that increases engagement and drives performance.
Old Habits Die Hard, So Hardwire the Change
Changing the way your leaders lead, and your employees approach their work is hard stuff. It's not a quick fix or one-and-done process.
Unless you consistently reinforce the new ways of thinking and behaving and commit to a real culture change, the organization and its engagement level will slip back to what you had before.
We help you build the kind of talent management, reward, recognition, and performance management systems that will keep you moving toward a truly engaged enterprise.
Build Pyramids, Not Sandcastles
It takes time to build an engaged enterprise. The larger and more complex your organization, the more levels of management it has, the more actively dis-engaged employees it includes, and the longer it will take to move engagement to world-class levels. You don't change an established culture overnight.
Hence, it is critical to establish realistic expectations among all the stakeholders and avoid short-term success.
We help you keep the spotlight on engagement, just as you would for any critical strategic objective.
