Setting the Boundaries
- Creating a strong team or organisational culture

-
Ken Blanchard in his famous book 'One Minute Manger' says ... 'a river without banks is a pond and a team or organisation without ground rules is never going to run in the same direction.' Imposing rules on a team or organisation will have limited success and requires a lot of time and energy to impose. By getting your team or organisation to establish the behavioural norms that support the values of their team or organisation, these norms effortlessly just become the way things are done.
Bullying and harassment claims and the vicarious liability that organisations have for protecting their people from any sort of discrimination are potentially very costly. Claims for the latter in have no financial upper limit.
This skillfully facilitated intervention will ensure that everyone in the organisation is clear where the boundaries are with regard to acceptable behaviour and then encourages them to define and sign up to the behaviours that support the organisations' values.

Our Know How
Our facilitators have broad commercial experience at a senior level and adopt a positive and pragmatic approach to this subject.
We have successfully delivered this intervention across a UK division of a global oil field support services company and subsequently they have experienced a significant reduction in grievances relating to unacceptable behaviour. What's more the positive behaviours identified and turned into 'rules' by all the employees have now become an integral part of appraisals and the induction process.
What We Deliver
This one day intervention is appropriate for all employees at all levels of the organisations. It creates clear mutual expectations on accceptable behaviour and how to make a positive contribution to a healthy culture.
The intervention allows all employees to make a personal yet significant contribution to the way they and their colleagues conduct themselves at work.
This intervention will lead to clarity around behavioural standards which will ultimately support the organisational leadership in creating a positive culture, and mitigate the risk of claims relating to bullying, harassment, and discrimination.
