The secret to high performing companies?
High performing teams.
Does one of these problems resonate with you?
You need to get more done, faster. But your team just can’t work harder or longer. Something needs to change to shift up a gear.
You have great people but you’re not all on the same page. It’s wasting time. You need everyone pulling in the same direction, especially cross-functionally.
Your leadership team isn’t operating as ‘one team’ and it’s creating confusion and friction through the business.
You need your leadership team to align around the goals.
The team is disjointed. Engagement is low. Team members are overwhelmed and burnt out. Something needs to change before one or more leave.
The bad news
Productivity and engagement are both on a downward trend globally.
The good news
It doesn’t have to be that way. You can take a different path to achieving your growth goals AND increasing employee engagement.
Squadify for high performing teams
A rockstar team beats a team of rockstars.
At Alate, we use Squadify's high performing teams diagnostic and dialogue tool to help teams improve the 3 Conditions for Success. These conditions create the foundations for high performance and purpose-led engagement.
Squadify is based on robust data on the conditions of team performance, validated the London School of Economics. It's your compass for team performance.
Simply put, Squadify provides the data insights to help teams get laser focused on their gaps to performance. All backed by an embedded AI coach and as much or as little Alate support as you need to make sense of the insights and execute the changes you want to make.
It works
Teams that use Squadify buck the trends with improvement in both productivity and engagement.
According to Squadify's global data, and our own experiences, using Squadify for just 12 months shows engagement up by 18% and performance up by 11% vs the baseline.
How it works
First, do you have a team or a TINO?
Many teams aren't a team. They are a 'team in name only', a TINO.
True teams:
Are 2 or more people (OK that's the obvious bit)
Have a shared goal
Need each other to achieve the goal - they are interdependent
“So many people say they are a team, but actually they just work with a bunch of folks, do their own thing and chat!”
How we make a difference
The process is simple and effective.
The team completes a 40 question survey that produces a dashboard of data insights, supported by an AI coach.
The team comes together to discuss the findings and agree next steps. Alate facilitates as many or as few of these sessions as you need to help create insight, action and accountability.
The team takes shared responsibility and accountability to implement the changes and development. Alate supports with individual and team development, as needed along the way.
The team repeats the cycle at regular intervals - repeating the survey every 3 - 4 months is generally optimal unless you're on a fast-track to change.
We recommend Squadify as part of our leadership & management development programs. It provides a clear snapshot of where the team is and guidance to leaders on how to improve their team effectiveness. Yet, it's not just about the leader. Squadify helps to create a collective and collaborative responsibility to team effectiveness. And gives a consistent, company-wide view of the climate and conditions for success.
And as you extend Squadify across multiple teams, it creates a common language and framework for collabroative, cross-functional working.
The Squadify dashboard, with embedded AI coach, brings to life everything the team needs to know.
