A leading marketing agency in Vancouver, Canada is recognized for its dedicated and talented employees. Despite their readiness to develop, recent changes revealed issues with employee morale and confidence. Team leaders needed an engaging team training resource to build stronger work relationships and a more positive and empowering environment.

The Problem

Before discovering GettaMeeting, the team struggled with a few main challenges:

• Low Confidence: Team members felt apprehensive about stepping up and taking on leadership responsibilities, even though they were eager for new opportunities.
• Poor Communication: Communication and collaboration had become siloed, and employees felt disconnected from each other.
• Disorganization and Inefficiency: Without clear organizational routines, productivity and workload management suffered as the company continued to grow.
• Lack of Positivity and Encouragement: Employees needed guidance on how to motivate peers. Employees were often missing opportunities for leadership, feedback, and inspiring conversations.

Leadership recognized that standard training modules weren’t making an impact. They needed a solution tailored to both the personal and group dynamics of the team, ideally one that sparked excitement and active participation.

The Solution

After evaluating several options, leadership selected the Employee Empowerment Series Bundle from GettaMeeting. This ready-to-use virtual training solution stood out for three main reasons:

1. Engaging Culinary Themes: Each module cleverly connects workplace skills with food, making sessions memorable and relatable.
2. Comprehensive, Instantly Accessible Content: Every module comes with a professionally hosted video, printable word cloud, and an enhancement pack filled with book recommendations, a curated playlist, team-building activities, inspirational quotes, and more. Everything is instantly downloadable after purchase, saving meeting hosts time.
3. Flexibility: Facilitators received the plug-and-play meeting video with customizable enhancements and games that worked for both in-person and virtual meetings.

Implementation

The company rolled out the Employee Empowerment Series in three sessions over the course of two weeks.

First, Build Relationships: Breaking Bread: team members explored their strengths and learned to recognize and value the strengths of colleagues. Activities focused on building trust, empathy, and communication skills using the universal language of food.

Next, Get Organized: Mise en Place: employees learned routines and productivity hacks inspired by the culinary arts. The module provided step-by-step tools that could be immediately integrated into daily workflow, leading to better organization and stress management.

Lastly, Power of Positive Influence: Recipe for Positive Influence: designed for individuals seeking to take on more responsibility, this module taught the foundational “ingredients” for becoming a positive force at work.

All three meeting modules included clear guides for the meeting hosts with tips for discussion, interactive exercises, and even suggestions for themed snacks to reinforce the modules' messages.

Results

The marketing team saw immediate improvements in major areas following the Employee Empowerment Series sessions, such as:

Stronger team connections. Employees reported a renewed sense of camaraderie. According to a team poll, 84% of participants felt more connected to their colleagues after completing “Build Relationships: Breaking Bread.”
