pOWER through the PEOPLE

Empowerment: Empower your workforce today. Cultivate your leaders for tomorrow.

Drive ownership throughout your workforce.

EMPLOYEES WHO FEEL EMPOWERED
are more committed, more creative, have increased confidence and are proven to care more about their organization. Our observation is that more people at all levels are feeling less like they make a difference in their organization. With recent trends suggesting a loss of confidence in the workplace, its more apparent now than ever. Yet employee empowerment remains elusive to leaders. How does that affect you and your business? Simply put, empowered people serve your customers better.

VISUALIZE // GUIDE YOUR PEOPLE TO ACTION

Employee Empowerment, when managed properly, cultivates leadership throughout an organization and helps to offset counterproductive trends commonly associated with complex hierarchical organizations.
TREND IMPLICATION SOLUTION

A. Most leadership teams experience a significant change in personnel every 2-3 years B. There is a move to increase spans of control for managers from an average of 4-5 direct reports to 10-12 C. Financial and economic challenges have caused companies to tighten controls, slash budgets and significantly lower peoples responsibility levels

A. Shifting priorities and policies can create turmoil within the organization B. There is a greater need for people and resource management skills in leadership roles C. More employees are dependent on their managers to make decisions

A. Empowerment creates organizational stability B. Empowerment builds ownership at all levels C. Empowerment teaches decision-making

Move the decision closer to the challenge.

DEPENDENCY HAS BECOME THE NORM
in most complex organizations because governance and accountability become less clear. Empowerment allows responsibility and authority to reside closer to the point where decisions need to be made, thus improving the quality and speed of decision making.
RIGHT: How long is too long when it comes to fulfilling customer requests? In organizations that lack employee empowerment, much time is spent sending questions up a chain of command, only to have it trickle right back down.

ENDORSEMENTS
I worked with the partners of ArchPoint during times of rapid and constant change within our organization. Looking back to my role as a member of the team staffed to design and implement changes, I realize how capable they were at understanding our business and what it took to execute the plan.
