Issue
Would your company benefit from a more productive work environment? Are you coping with a bad work environment? Perhaps you need answers to how to improve the environment at work?

A productive work environment is essential to the sustained business success of any company, association, or non-profit. Your employees must both want to and be able to contribute to their maximum potential. They must be able to focus on their job-related objectives.

What might keep your employees from focusing on their job?
Lack of a needed accommodation
Ineffective or missing communications
Fear for their personal safety
Disrespect
Conflict
The need to keep quiet about their personal and family life
Boredom
The total impact can be enormous. Estimates of an employee’s lost time from these concerns range widely, from a low of fifteen minutes daily up to over two hours daily. Calculate the salary and benefit expense.

Then add the lost revenue, market share, and customer satisfaction from delayed product or service introductions, marketing deliverables, or customer support.

Solution

Typically, several concerns exist in the workplace and have varying significance for different individuals. Existing data combined with employee input can identify the primary issues and potential solutions.

Depending upon circumstances, the employee input may be via any combination of interviews, surveys, focus groups, or work environment action teams. This provides the basis for focused actions and communications. Ongoing measurement helps ensure that progress is made and sustained.

MDB Group’s principals have addressed situations like this. Our solutions vary, based on client need, from simple interviews and recommendations to custom coaching and facilitation. We can implement an intervention specific to your situation, emphasizing timely results.
