The people who remain are relieved to have their jobs, but they're left with a nagging sense of insecurity. Their morale begins to slip, and productivity gets pulled down with it. Is this downward spiral inevitable? Absolutely not. In fact, it should be prevented at all costs. In times like these, we need employees to be more engaged than ever before. We need everyone to work smarter because the stakes are so much higher. The Workplace Renewal Process is designed to uncover exactly what you and others need to do to strengthen morale and employee engagement. The process involves one intense week of on-site interviews, analysis, and planning. You get an experienced outside perspective -- and you end up with a clear plan of practical action steps. The exact timetable may vary depending on a number of factors, including the size of your agency, but the process typically unfolds as follows: Day 1: One of our team members arrives and meets with key agency contacts to review the process and finalize the schedule. Days 2-3: Through on-site interviews and focus groups with a cross-section of managers and employees, we gather information and insights. Day 4: We spend the fourth day off-site -- reviewing the input, shaping key findings, developing recommendations for strengthening employee morale and engagement, and planning the next day's briefing. Day 5: In a concluding session with key people, we present the findings and recommendations, answer questions, and assist the group in clarifying its next steps.
