For organisations just beginning to think about their employee experience, through to established businesses at a critical point of change, the journey people take within your organisation and the interactions they have at each stage of the employee lifecycle has a significant impact on your ability to hire and retain great talent.
We work with a range of organisations to help them craft a productive and meaningful employee experience, suited to the unique needs of their business.
Some of the more popular areas of support and assistance we provide includes:
Enhanced
Onboarding
For new people joining teams, they essentially have two full time roles – doing their job and adjusting to the culture and conditions of the workplace. Establishing a predefined, repeatable process for onboarding will reduce the amount of time you spend assimilating new hires (and internal promotions), while contributing to overall employee retention. We can also work with you on enhanced onboarding for incoming senior leaders including 90-day plans.
Culture
Development
Workplace culture is a fundamental driver of successful organisational change and helps to build environments where your people can thrive, even in the most challenging of times. Decipher Group have developed a proven and tested approach to assisting businesses with creating constructive workplace cultures that starts with understanding the pulse of the organisation and its current state, and then working closely with HR teams and senior leaders to turn those insights into action.
Employee
Engagement
360
Feedback
360 Feedback gives employees, teams, or managers the opportunity to hear from various people they work with. When done right, it can strengthen relationships and contribute to more effective development conversations. More importantly, 360 Feedback is a powerful tool for minimising bias, contributing to broader diversity, equity, and inclusion strategies.
