When your business begins to grow, you're hit with relief. But when the demands start rising and the company requires internal expansion, we can begin to panic.
No team deserves to feel panic or worry while business booms and new opportunities arise. That's why it's managers and leaders like yourself who must step up and find the right tools to train your employees to rise to the ocassion and champion the growth themselves.
For example, Kathy manages the HR department for a growing financial technology company. With its fast-paced growth, scaling and onboarding new employees have become pressing issues. The challenge was to integrate new hires quickly while staying a cohesive team.
The Problem
As Kathy recognized, rapid growth made onboarding new talent challenging, especially when trying to maintain a positive team dynamic at the same time. Therefore, Kathy was looking for training that focused on the following:
- Integration for New Employees: New hires needed to quickly adapt to the company culture and feel confident in their roles.
- Collaborative Relationships: Kathy wanted to ensure that all team members (new and existing) could build strong relationships through open conversations.
- Workplace Creativity: New employees needed to feel empowered to personalize their workspaces, such as having fun with the relaxed dress code and setting up an environment conducive to productivity.
- Time Management: The growing team needed new tools to help them tackle distractions and stay focused on priorities and deadlines.
The Solution
To address these challenges, the HR team implemented GettaMeeting's Leadership Development Series Bundle. This bundle, designed to enhance leadership, communication, and productivity, offers three targeted meeting modules tailored to the startup's needs. Here's how each module made an impact on Kathy's team:
Shifting Perspectives: Big Picture
Through this module, employees learned tools for effective communication and relationship building. By viewing situations from multiple perspectives and learning how to collaborate better, team members learned how to create stronger bonds with their colleagues, trust, and have open dialogue.
Cultivate Presence: Owning the Stage
Employees learned to personalize their work environments, boost their confidence through what they wear to work, and build fun workspace habits while staying professionally grounded. This module also helped employees own and adapt to their roles with a sense of purpose.
Improve Time Management: Rapid Refocus
With practical strategies for minimizing distractions and prioritizing important tasks, this module taught the team how to manage their time effectively. Employees honed their skills to find true focus.
Alongside these modules, the company used GettaMeeting’s meeting enhancements, including tailored book recommendations, team-building activities, and curated playlists, to further engage employees and align the team.
Results
Every Wednesday for three weeks, Kathy hosted a quick meeting session featuring each meeting module from the Leadership Development Series. In less than an hour, each session allowed for amazing conversation, reflection, education, and fun.
GettaMeeting's leadership series yielded excellent results for Kathy's team, most importantly:
- Enhanced Communication: the team took on a more open and collaborative communication style, allowing all members to contribute to meetings, discussions, and decision-making sessions.
