ENGINEERING TEAM DEVELOPMENT AND PROFILING

 
The incoming manager of an engineering team wanted a stock-take of the team. She wanted to review what was working and what could change.

New hires were also being introduced to the team. Some of the engineers had previous experience with profiling instruments and had been with the company for years.

Hedgehog Consulting used its own team development assessment to provide the team a bench-mark and undertook individual Work Preference profiling with individuals. The team assessment and combined individual preferences provided a focus point for team reflection, development planning,  and actions.

FIND OUT WHAT EMPLOYEES THINK OF WORKING FOR YOUR BUSINESS

Real-time insight about your people engagement, and how likely they are to promote you as an employer is a point of difference in a competitive employment market.

Do you know what your employees think about your workplace? How often do you check? How long does it take to find out?

Some common scenarios, do any sound familiar?

  • I can't justify the cost or time for my team and I to always be filling in surveys
  • The delay between the results and when we did the survey isn't helpful, so doing more isn't any more use
  • I don't want to ask some of the 'well-researched' questions, they're not as relevant to us
  • We've got some ideas that we would like to check with everyone, but we wont get much response from email or at team meetings
  • My people don't want to fill in lengthy or clumsy surveys, why can't they be designed so they can be done on a smartphone or tablet quickly

Our preferred engagement tool is used by leading companies including Apple, Disney, and Xero. If you've done something with engagement before it does all the stuff you're used to. But it also addresses all of the above scenarios.
 

 

Whether you're the manager of a team, or a human resources professional we can help you to get setup so you can check in with your people

Pulse Surveys

Regularly check in with your people, collect ideas, ask your own questions, giving a voice to your workforce. Designed by people who use technology, the surveys are quick and easy, and can be completed by anyone on any device.
 

Feedback

Collect innovative ideas and make people feel heard using an anonymous 'suggestion box' that you can also respond to. 
 

Engagement Reports

Consider engagement levels and capture ideas from people in real-time. Quickly see opportunities within your business areas, teams, or locations, and identify how likely people are to promote your company as an employer.
 
Because its a technology based solution there is almost no delay waiting for reports or analysis. The best bit? Once its setup you don't really need us, but you're welcome to ask us for support.
