An Even Better Place To Work engages people with a series of activities, measures and resources that aid in creating a well-led, engaged and productive workforce. The basis of the programme is to engage and allow people to take ownership of their own scores, run activities, invite constructive feedbacks and conversation with their colleagues about real work and relationship issues. The question constantly asked is “what am I going to do?” rather than “what is management going to do?”

It measures the seven key indicators of people who are engaged and well led. The abundant data collected through the indicators allow managers to assess the ‘health’ of the organisation and make relevant interventions to meet real needs.

The seven Indicators are:

• Feeling valued: they feel appreciated and appropriately rewarded.
• Are Open: they are receptive of new ideas and able to communicate both ways about difficult and sensitive issues.
• Engage in Feedback: they are able to understand the importance of regular constructive feedback to enhance their performances.
• Are Motivated: Their positive outlook about the job and colleagues permit them to have a drive to achieve and support each other.
• Managing Difference: Creating a collaborating relationships with colleagues, ensuring differences are not perceived as hindrance but a source of strength.
• Take Ownership: They take ownership to having their needs met and view leadership as a form of partnership. Therefore taking joint responsibility with their leader for being led.
• Conflict Free: They engage with proactive feedback, hence dysfunctional conflicts are minimised.
