For the Business

The common language of strengths creates a cohesive and collaborative environment, fostering a culture of appreciation, respect, and continuous improvement within the organisation.

Strengths based organisations are the future and they are already delivering results which include:

  • 10% to 19% increased sales
  • 14% to 29% increased profits
  • 3% to 7% higher customer engagement
  • 6% to 16% lower staff turnover (low-turnover organisations)
  • 26% to 72% lower staff turnover (high-turnover organisations
  • 9% to 15% increase in engaged employees

 (Rigoni and Asplund 2016) based on data from 1.2 million employees in 22 organisations and 45 countries, showed that 90% of organisations using a strengths approach)

Adopting a strength-based approach within a business or organisation, particularly in the context of hybrid working and diversity, equality, and inclusion (DEI) strategies, can yield numerous benefits.

Enhanced Employee Engagement

Hybrid Working: Identifying and leveraging individual strengths fosters a sense of purpose and fulfilment among employees, whether they work in-office or remotely. This increased engagement is crucial for maintaining productivity and job satisfaction in a hybrid work environment.

Leveraging Diversity and Inclusion

DEI Strategies: A strength-based approach emphasises the value of diverse skills and perspectives. By recognising and valuing the unique strengths each individual brings to the table, organisations can create a more inclusive environment that celebrates diversity and ensures that everyone’s contributions are acknowledged and appreciated.

Improved Team Collaboration

Common Language: Using a common language of strengths provides teams with a shared understanding of each member’s capabilities. This shared vocabulary facilitates communication, reduces misunderstandings, and enhances collaboration. Team members can appreciate and leverage each other’s strengths, leading to more effective and harmonious working relationships.

Tailored Development and Learning

Personalised Growth Plans: Strength-based approaches allow for personalised development plans. Employees can receive targeted training and support to enhance their strengths, leading to continuous improvement and growth. This approach is especially valuable in a hybrid work setting where individualised development becomes crucial.

Employee Well-being and Retention

Increased Job Satisfaction: Recognising and utilising strengths enhances job satisfaction, contributing to overall employee well-being. Satisfied employees are more likely to stay with the organisation, reducing turnover and associated costs.

Better Decision-Making

Informed Team Composition: Understanding the strengths of team members helps in forming well-balanced teams. This, in turn, contributes to better decision-making as teams can leverage a diverse set of skills and perspectives.

Agile Adaptation to Change

Resilience Through Strengths: Individuals and teams equipped with a strengths-based mindset are better prepared to navigate change and uncertainty. They can adapt more quickly and effectively, ensuring organisational resilience in the face of evolving challenges.
