Employees feel like they are running on a treadmill underwater. It’s so hard and you don’t go anywhere.
Instead of trying to introduce programs/activities/team building, think of it as a journey problem. How can we create an upward journey.
To change the emotional inertia of “stuck”, picture a big heavy rock as tall as you are. That sucker ain’t gonna move easily. A series of small experiences in quick succession can make it wobble. Then use this momentum and chain them into other bigger coordinated experiences. A journey has started – movement!
Imagine an energised team rolling along. Good employee experiences don’t happen by accident – they have to be designed.
