Family is a complex topic. For some people, the reality of their family is very far from their ideal family. Ideally, family life gives us support and a foundation to grow on. An ideal workplace can provide these things, too. An ideal workplace can provide support, belonging, and a chance to grow.
In our ever-changing business landscape, it is essential for workplaces to know how to effectively create spaces where employees feel they belong; where individuals feel they can be their authentic selves; where they can grow and thrive.
We operate in complex work environments where clarity and understanding are essential to success. Organizational leaders must know how to explore and address complicated, nuanced challenges. Many organizations have tried and failed to effectively implement Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion initiatives. The reality of creating an ideal workplace culture that fosters an environment where a complex individual can thrive takes time and effort.
AllOne Consulting has created an evidence-based approach to avoiding the mistakes organizations make when trying to improve or create an environment that supports the individual within their culture.
Here’s the four-part Improving Workplace Culture program that AllOne Consulting recommends for any organization that wants to create a positive workplace culture:
Part 1: DISC
- DISC is a behavioral assessment tool that teaches team members their communication styles and how to adapt and flex with the styles of others. Participants take an online assessment beforehand and learn about their own style and how to recognize and communicate with others. They also learn about their overall team dynamic and what that means for their team culture.
- How this session helps: DISC is a great way to instantly reduce tension. There are natural tension points between the four, core behavioral and communication styles and understanding the needs of other styles can quickly ease conflict and tension.
Part 2: Emotional Intelligence
- Emotional intelligence is an essential competency in the workplace. We learn how to manage emotions and stress in communication and how to be empathetic and respectful to others. This session builds on Part 1 and shows how communication styles can change under stress and how to calibrate accordingly.
- How this session helps: Work is emotional. Everyone struggles to manage their emotions at times. It’s normal to have negative feelings and we can’t expect ourselves – or others – to leave those behind just because we’re at work. But those negative emotions can hurt work relationships, performance, focus, and well-being. So, it’s worthwhile to hone our emotional intelligence skills. This session teaches practical ways to enhance three specific aspects of emotional intelligence: self-awareness, self-regulation, and positive connections.
Part 3: Psychological Safety
- The session on Psychological Safety teaches teams how to create a safe and supportive environment for teamwork and collaboration, where everyone feels comfortable to share ideas, ask questions, and give feedback. Psychological Safety is the operating system for high-performance teams and is the foundation and essence of teamwork.
- How this session helps: Enhancing Psychological Safety enhances team performance. When team members know they’re safe to disagree or make mistakes, they become more flexible and focused.
Part 4: Working Agreements
- The Working Agreements workshop guides teams to collaboratively create behavioral norms and expectations for themselves. Our unique strengths-based approach focuses on appreciating team members’ unique strengths and aligning their values and goals.
- How this session helps: This workshop helps individuals gain a deep awareness of their team. This knowledge results in energizing agreements that enhance accountability and collaboration.
