Employee Engagement: Supporting the Engines of Change
In the FlexWise™ system – and any employee-driven approach to flexibility – thorough training of employees is vital to success. Assuming that employees don’t need any particular attention in a rollout is a common and potentially lethal error. Training options will vary with company commitment, strategy and resources. They can include:
•
Instructive Guidelines We design all our FlexWise™ guidelines as instructional tools.
They provide everything employee users require to succeed. They offer rationale,
description and mechanics for each option; they include self-assessments; address the
demonstrated pros and cons; and offer best practices and model cases of flexible
employees at work. Additional training elements can be added.
•
Online Trainings If the devil is in the details, the success or undoing of FWAs occurs
during implementation. Our online training suite ranges from orientation to the FlexWise™
system to comprehensive guides on how to excel at telecommuting, remote work,
compressed schedules and job sharing. Just-in-time and always accessible, these virtual
coaches can introduce and sustain best practices in each option.
•
Brief Training Live, highly interactive and carefully designed brief trainings for employees
offer a time- and cost-effective means for shifting workforce attitudes toward flexible
schedules. It is important to introduce more than potential users to the overall approach to
flexibility. Discussion of benefits, challenges and processes can occur in
1.5 hour
sessions we design for HR delivery.
We work with clients to design a training mix that will produce the desired outcome in employee behavior. Since it is employees who execute options over time, they are major architects of the outcome of any initiative. Potential outcomes of training plans include: |
