20. The Three
Fundamentals
PURPOSE
PRODUCTIVITY
PERFORMANCE
Engagement Multiplier Emerging Stronger Webinar May 2020

21. A meaningful statement that connects with employees
and provides them with a ’why’

Purpose
Productivity

us against a common enemy
A short-term substitute for
an Engaged Purpose
The calm before the storm
Engagement Multiplier Emerging Stronger Webinar May 2020
PURPOSE
A meaningful statement that
connects with employees
and provides them
with a ’why’

26. What happens when the common
enemy is gone?
(or perceived to be going…)

28. The Challenge The Solution
What is your Purpose post COVID
when the common enemy that
unites us falls away?
Have employees score and provide
feedback on how connected they
are to your purpose.
Is your purpose still relevant? The
world has changed and your
business may have changed too.
Be prepared to update and make
your purpose relevant.
Businesses are currently getting a
false sense of engagement.
Investing time in connecting your
team to a meaningful purpose now
will pay dividends.
Engagement Multiplier Emerging Stronger Webinar May 2020
PURPOSE
A meaningful statement that

and provides them

PRODUCTIVITY
Systems, process and ways
of working that enable
individuals and teams to
operate efficiently
The Challenge The Solution
It was a challenge and a transition
to work from home and it will be a
challenge and transition to go back.
Plan for an adjustment phase and
make sure you understand clearly
what worked and what didn’t in the
minds of your employees pre and
during WFH.
Old style management won’t work.
Leadership and management based
on clear accountabilities,
communication and a structure and
framework that provides an
element of freedom and autonomy.
Many standard operating practices
will be inadequate in a post-COVID
world.
Establish through collaboration
with your team members what to
stop, start and continue.

PERFORMANCE
An environment that
facilitates innovation, agility
and growth
The Challenge The Solution
Inadequate communication stifles
creativity, innovation and ideation.
Take time to understand your
teams’ communication
requirements and develop simple
feedback systems to provide clarity
and drive results. Create a
confidential and anonymous
employee feedback loop, publish
the results and clearly detail how
you will take action.
Lack of transparency about
progress, contribution and
accountabilities at both a business
and personal level.
Set clear 90-day business objectives
and break these down by company,
department and individual.
Team members not feeling
confident or permitted to innovate
and improve.
Create an environment where
innovation and insight are
celebrated and encouraged in a
structured way.
