What would happen if we focused on what is right with people, rather than fixating on what is wrong with them?
Strength Focus is an Effective Way to Create Sustainable Growth in the Company
But it’s not easy. We all use our strengths every day to varying degrees. Research shows that our top 5 strengths account for about 70% of all our actions. We’re so accustomed to our strengths that we take them for granted and often don’t even notice them. When we work with strength-focused development, we help uncover these strengths and explore how, by getting to know them well, they can be utilized in a much more targeted, practical way to bring greater benefits and engagement.
Focus on Strengths and Engagement: A Path to Enhanced Workplace Outcomes
Focusing on strengths and engagement has been shown to improve various aspects of a company. A strength-based approach leads to increased efficiency and performance while helping employees feel valued and more engaged in their work. The key to achieving this is fostering a culture that supports a focus on strengths and engagement.
For individuals who focus on their strengths, the likelihood of being engaged in their jobs is six times higher! According to the report State of the Global Workplace (Gallup® 2013), only 21% of Danish employees feel engaged at their workplace. Meanwhile, 69% reported that they do not feel engaged, and 10% described themselves as actively disengaged.
