Adaptability training for business – how does it help, really?
Let’s explore it in this blog.
1. Better ability to deal with stress at work
Adaptability training for business helps to improve each individual’s mindset around change, gives them tools on how to cope with the unexpected better and jump into action with confidence. In other words – it improves your team’s adaptability skills.
Therefore, the employees are more excited and less stressed when change happens. No matter if the change is on a bigger scale (it affects the whole company), or smaller scale (sudden changes during everyday life at work), they learn tools to manage it better.
In other words – they improve their reactive response to change.
2. Staying ahead of the curve (innovation)
What’s even better than reactive response? Proactive one!
Adaptability training for business is tailored in a way that people get more curious to explore new solutions proactively – even before the crisis, or long after it is over.
Adaptability training also cultivates what everyone talks about now – “psychological safety” – in teams.
Such an environment makes people more prone to test new ideas, say them out loud, support each other and collaborate more.
That, in turn, creates a space to create and finish new, innovative solutions to improve the business without you needing to ‘motivate them’.
Imagine if this was true in your team – what would change?
3. May lower the turnover rate
By Gallup, every employee that leaves your company is costing you 1,5-2x their annual salary.
Adaptability training for business helps to identify each teammate’s individual strengths and weaknesses in change, and work on them.
That makes the employees more open to change, new challenges, and improves their ‘change capacity’ so they might stick around longer.
Because of a unique assessment at the beginning of training, it also allows to spot the employees that are prone to leave the company because of their response to change, and gives you tools to improve what can be improved in the individual case.
Helps to keep the talent and saves you money in the long turn, doesn’t it!
4. Encourages the customer-obsessed approach
Ability to step into the customer’s shoes – sometimes it’s the most crucial skill that determines whether the business will thrive in the long-term.
This ability helps to create products and services that understand the client’s point of view, improve their experience with the product and, therefore, make clients feel heard and valued.
Therefore – they return to you, and become your unofficial ambassadors to people around them.
Mental flexibility is one of the abilities that we improve during the adaptability training. It’s the exact secret sauce that improves your team’s ability to understand, and even be curious about the customer’s point of view when developing and improving the product or service.
It can create a situation where your team ‘knows the customer better than they know themselves’.
That, in turn, makes the customer return – not always even knowing, why.
5. Lets you communicate the change to your team better
Each individual of your team has their unique needs and motivations during change, that are deeply rooted in their character. If you know those unique needs and how to tailor the message to them – it gives you the superpower to communicate change more successfully to both your team, and each individual separately.
The adaptability assessment (that is a part of the training program) will give you exactly that.
Smoother communication, better results – how does that sound to you?
Good?
