Chasing Work Place Satisfaction

Visualization or Visual Tool

Challenge & Selection

My current state is an Executive in HR Team of a company occupying  approximately 120 employees.

The challenge faced is to identify ways to create a better working environment  for our employees. Thus, the first step is to try to put ourselves into our boots.  How? Visualization or Visual Tool is a great alternative that could create  multiple new ideas. The reason why I have chosen this design tool is due to  the fact that in prior efforts for improving employee’s satisfaction at work,  there was a group-thinking issue among our Team.

Application

The basic idea consists of picking a diversified sample from our current  employees, from Junior Analysts and Interns to Department Directors, and  ask them to describe, draw, imagine or use any way they want, their ideal  change for offices in order to improve their mood and their working efficiency.

From 16 employees chosen, there were created 4 small groups there were  asked to discuss their ideas for 45’, on the same time in different meeting  rooms, and after that to meet all together to another meeting room and share  their ideas and their proposals to the HR Team.

Insight & Approach

The results were exceptional. The employees join to these meetings were  thrilled with this entertaining and creative activity. For our Department, our two  basic goals were accomplished. Firstly, it was an approach that led to the  creation of a more objective and diversified sample of ideas, that represents  not only the HR Team, but the company as a whole. Secondly, it was a tool to  improve collaboration via an awarding and brainstorming session that would  give them ownership of the final result as well as a small break from their daily  routine.
