Creating an employee experience strategy is integral to any well-functioning team. To top it off, according to Gallup, 70% of variance in employee engagement lies with the manager. Not only are managers the translator between strategic and tactical thinking and responsible when things break down on their team, but according to this powerful statistic they are also the gateway for how employees view the larger organization. 

No pressure… right?

Consider the emotional element in your employee experience strategy 

From a pandemic to pay-cuts, the last few years have been especially difficult on managers who likely have had to deliver bad news up and down the org chart. This means, now more than ever providing your managers with hope, motivation, and strategic support is essential in keeping them engaged and creating a strong ROI for the whole company. 

Imagine how work would feel for your managers if they could confidently and consistently…

• Communicate and assign tasks to their direct reports with ease 

• Understand how to best utilize their own unique talents - as well as those of their team 

• Feel clear on exactly what to say (and not to say) to foster a culture of trust and experimentation 

• Have scripts in their back pocket to help give ongoing, supportive feedback 

I don’t need to tell you how this would help make work easier, more fun, and create a joyful ripple effect across your entire organization. And this is just a fraction of what managers learn inside of Activate. 

Activate will help with your employee experience strategy

We’ll also teach your managers how to: 

• Engage in Strengths-based development. Did you know Gallup introduced a new CliftonStrengths report specifically for Managers last year? And omg let’s just say it’s direct! We’ll dive into the report together before making a customized development based on their unique talents.

• Support them in building a growth-mindset to embrace learning from mistakes… instead of spending sleepless nights obsessing over them 

• Feel confident in receiving feedback so you they can stay on a path of continuous improvement (minus the hard feelings)

• Learn to delegate without being awkward
