Summary
Disability funding changed overnight and the sales and delivery model of the industry transformed from a funded framework to user pays. The business needed to adapt to the new way of customer acquisition and retention quickly in order to survive.
Challenge
- The potential economic impact resulting from doing nothing would be catastrophic for the business
- There was internal conflict between staff members and pronounced silos between teams
- Staff discovery conversations had revealed significant levels of mental stress, bullying and dissatisfaction with the leadership
- Disengagement of the staff was making any change initiative difficult
Our Response
- Engaged with the owner and CEO in an executive coaching program to ensure they remained an active and effective sponsor for the change throughout the process
- Engaged with senior staff in discovery conversations and coaching support to clarify the clarify the current situation and ensure they were supported to lead through the change process
- Surveyed all staff and facilitated team workshops to encourage ideas, input and ownership for new ways of working
- New roles were created to support the new ways of working
- A master program plan with clear accountabilities and timelines was developed and maintained
Results
After 6 months:
- A review with staff revealed a significant increase in staff happiness, engagement and well being
- The CEO reported a healthy turnaround in customer acquisition and retention as well as corresponding revenue and margin growth
- Staff engagement was at an all time high with one staff member quoting, “I don’t cry on my way to work any more and we actually have a laugh in the office now.“
