Using One Assessment To Empower Growth and Engagement
Read how Skoda Minotti deepened employee engagement and reduced their turnover rate by implementing The Birkman Method into their talent development processes.
Challenge
The HR Director of Skoda Minotti tried finding a tool that could promote self-awareness, drive engagement, and improve retention rates. Skoda hoped to deepen employee engagement and reduce their turnover rate.
Action
Birkman assessments were administered company-wide and implemented into team-building strategies. The program encourages continuous conversations about employees' unique expectations and preferences. To support each employee, the firm provides everyone with reference cards featuring the Birkman Needs of employees. People are encouraged to consider adjusting how they approach others based on that person's needs. This responsibility of approaching someone the way they want you to approach them can help build and deepen relationships and increase communication efficiency. Employees' Birkman colors and symbols are also displayed on Microsoft Outlook and on their office doors/ desk for others to reference when determining each individual's most effective communication approach.
Result
Skoda Minotti continues to employ The Birkman Method throughout its culture to create boundless engagement. The firm particularly values the number of application-focused reports and the in-depth data that empowers individuals on every level to understand each other’s work styles better to create a culture of appreciation and collaboration.
