A business of over 150 employees helps global companies scale their IT and digital resources. The evolving industry has created hurdles for the company, however, leading to operational issues and dissatisfied employees. The company’s HR manager, Jonathan, needed to quickly find a resource to address the issues and change the tone of the work environment.
Jonathan pinpointed two major issues his team was struggling with:
The team was overwhelmed by endless streams of information from emails, dashboards, etc. With so much unfiltered information coming in, there was barely any time left for focused work, and deadlines were often missed.
On top of the day-to-day challenges, employees were feeling burned out from heavy workloads and endless tasks. Many felt stuck in their roles, with little room to grow or develop new skills. Employees became disengaged, and tension grew within the team, which created a stressful work environment.
Jonathan desperately needed to find a new approach to boost morale and help employees manage their workloads.
To resolve the team’s challenges, Jonathan purchased the Team Toolkit subscription (3 modules a month). Improve Time Management: Rapid Refocus and Maximize the Minutes were the first to be utilized. Jonathan sent the login information to team manager Michelle to be the first manager in the company to prepare and facilitate the meetings.
After using the meeting enhancements to easily and quickly prep for the meetings, Michelle decided to schedule the meetings on the next two Fridays. Each Friday would begin with the meeting video, followed by a game, ending with refreshments and snacks. Michelle discovered that midday was best for her team as it provided a break from daily tasks. She found that following the meetings, her team was much more energized and less distracted when diving back into tasks.
Here’s what each module discussed and taught the team:
This module empowered employees to refocus on high-priority tasks while minimizing distractions. The meeting module introduced techniques such as identifying Areas of Impact (AOI) to better allocate time, improve concentration, and achieve results.
This module highlighted the value of time as a finite resource and provided practical strategies for goal-setting and time use. Employees learned how to create more structured schedules, set intentional goals, and maximize productivity in both their professional and personal lives.
The combination of the two modules created a lasting workplace transformation by addressing both operational issues and burnout.
Here are the outcomes:
