There are three ways to ignite dormant motivation and energy of your employees:
1. Let them tell you what they want to do
2. Let them decide what they want as an incentive for doing it
3. Let them tell you when and how they will do it
What if you could agree to all of this, align the process with company objectives, and provide effective and long-lasting cost savings and performance improvements, as well?!
Impossible? Think again! Metrus Group has proven that it can be done!
Connecting critical staff knowledge and understanding of your processes and activities with hard-hitting, improvements that go straight to the bottom line -- and generating enthusiasm for the change. No one knows the inner workings of your company better than the people who deal with them everyday, but they usually don"t have the strategic knowledge, business savvy, and tools to harness that understanding.
The key concept is leverage. Forget adding additional work to an already overburdened workforce. Far better to capitalize on the problem analysis, correction, and elimination processes already in play, and on the knowledge of customer workflows, skills, and processes embedded in your workforce. These just need to be jump started so you can achieve significant, sustainable results in 60 to 120 days.
When coupled with Metrus Business Acumen workshops, Business Mini-Games provide a more powerful, self-sustaining improvement tool because employees will have the ability to understand and identify critical business issues that can be addressed with mini-games.
Employees enthusiastically embrace Mini-Games. After all, they have an opportunity to reap reward of their own choosing. Just as important, Mini-Games are self-funding. Mini-Games create more financial benefit than they cost.
- One company used Mini-Games to increase monthly cash flow over $3,000,000 -- on a sustainable basis.
- Another company cut its production waste by more than 35 percent - translating to greatly reduced costs and increased profitability.
- A third company used Mini-Games to change the way reps dealt with customers. The net result was a 25 percent increase in customer satisfaction. And, just as this company had hoped -- happy customers translated into a greater number of orders.
Mini-Games are an effective tool for many situations and company needs. They work extremely well for work teams, business units, shared service functions, plants and even whole companies.
Mini-Games:
- Rally the Staff -- Tap into enthusiasm and energy waiting to be released
- Provide Clear Targets -- Specific, clearly defined, attainable objectives
- Provide an Attack Plan -- Planful implementation built on in-depth knowledge and understanding of your processes
- Deliver Results -- Hard, sustainable, measurable results!
And keep in mind, Mini-Games:
- Hit the Bottom Line
- Pay for Themselves
- Motivate the Staff
So, let the Mini-Games -- and cost and profit improvements -- in your organization begin!
