New Employees

As you add new team members, it is essential to clearly define expectations to execute the role and work. It’s important individuals know how their role connects to the greater organizational mission, vision, and strategy.

Existing Employees

We must take inventory of our existing employees. Are they aligned in the right role? Are your people aligned to accomplish our organization’s mission? Are they engaged in the work they’re doing everyday?

Culture

Culture is the core of an organization. It is about the human behavior that exists to help employees know what is acceptable or unacceptable, important or unimportant, and right or wrong at the organization. The deep heart of culture encompasses all learned and shared beliefs, assumptions, norms, and values. It extends to the attitudes, behavior, acceptable language, and dress of an organization’s employees and leadership. What is the essence of your culture?

Leadership

Next, the Human Capital Optimization Model focuses on leadership, because leaders model the behaviors and show the way for others in the organization. Leaders exist throughout the organization.

Strategy

Strategy provides the direction of the organization to support the vision and the mission. Through strategy, leaders determine and communicate the direction of what they are going to provide the marketplace.

Brand

Your brand is more than your image and also encompasses what you stand for. Who represents your brand? We believe your brand is represented by every employee in the organization.

Assessments & Metrics

It’s important to measure and understand the capacity of people. Selection assessments, development tools, and engagement surveys will help you see the effectiveness of the impact of your people.

What a great feeling to meet your desired outcomes of high employee engagement, high customer engagement, fulfilling your mission and creating profitability all while engaging your employees to greater levels.

Leadership Transition

We can assist in helping develop a plan including transitioning talent, communication and repositioning those who are not a fit.

Psychological Safety

Your culture depends on understanding your people: who they are, what they do well and their all-around strengths.

A successful business is built on the foundation of engaged and healthy employees. LSC will help you to measure, analyze and understand your engagement and what are the biggest key levers that will drive engagement in your organization. This will create an environment of psychological safety where individuals will be able to contribute in a more connected and innovative way using their talent to full potential.

When employees feel engaged, they are more likely to experience a sense of purpose and connection to their work. This contributes to a positive impact on an employee mental and emotional well-being. Organizations that prioritize employee engagement often see a corresponding improvement in the well-being of their workforce, creating a symbiotic relationship between engagement and overall employee health and happiness.

Change Management

Throughout the change process, it is important to provide communication, clarity, and connection.

Effective communication is essential to ensure all stakeholders understand the reasons behind change, its goals, and its expected outcomes. Clear and transparent communication fosters a sense of trust and engagement among employees mitigating resistance and uncertainty.

Articulating the vision and objectives of the change initiative creates clarity. This involves providing a clear narrative that highlights the benefits and impact on the organization, its employees, and customers. Ongoing updates, feedback mechanisms, and communication channels will help with connection and alignment preventing resistance to the change or the spread of misinformation. In summary, LSC offers a structured approach to navigate the complexities of change, ultimately enhancing sustainable transformation.
