Cultural Transformations

What does a strengths-based organization look like? How can you make StrengthsFinder stick and become embedded in the DNA of your culture? Strengths Now, Inc. is committed to helping you create a strategy to infuse the strengths model throughout your organization. 

Our goal is to partner with you to create a sustainable strengths-based culture far beyond handing out codes or a book.  We offer a 5-phase approach to building a Strengths-Based culture. Managing change with a strengths-based approach can blend two companies to form a unified organization with common goals and provide a unique competitive advantage.  

1. Strategy and Baseline Measurements: Begin with a leadership strategy meeting to clarify the current state of operations, set meaningful goals, and align on milestones, measures, and timing. ​We conduct a baseline employee engagement assessment using Gallup's Q12, the #1 researched-based employee engagement survey, proven to lead to improved business outcomes, and lead focus groups as necessary to establish our "baseline culture."
2. Leadership Training and Development: Using our Lead with your Strengths and Engagement for Managers training, cascade training to all leaders, managers, and front-line leaders, equipping them research-based tools and processes to build confidence, practice strengths in their management styles, and effectively lead their teams. ​We provide monthly manager group meetings to share best practices, build camaraderie, and update action plans for success. 
3. Full-Scale Deployment: Every employee will discover their strengths and put them to use! We offer the CliftonStrengths assessment to all employees and provide an introduction to strengths training. ​We provide courses to create a community of strengths and engagement advocates (change agents). This team provides ongoing expertise and facilitation skills to support leaders in build engagement action plans and lead strengths-based activities on their teams. 
4. Integration into People Systems and Management Process: Build a strengths-based approach into Hiring, Goal Setting, Development Planning, Performance Management, and Job Changes. Designed to augment or support the existing systems, this phase does not add work to managers' already full plates, but rather, shift the conversations they already have, which leads to improved efficiency and performance. 
5. Sustainment Plan: With internal experts trained and systems in place, ensure the internal communications, measures and behaviors align. We build frameworks and a strategy to introduce new hires to strengths, routinely measure progress on engagement, and train leaders on strengths based-management, in line with your long term strategic goals. 

Is your organization ready to reach a new level of performance?

At Strengths Now, we use Gallup’s Q12 engagement survey to get qualitative data on the current engagement of any team, department, or division. This custom twelve question survey quickly and easily provides a litmus test of employee engagement.

Strengths Now partners with leaders to understand results and respond to identified challenges or gaps. We use Q12 to find the engagement level of a team when the level is unknown or determine if current initiatives are having an impact.
