What is a 'sticky workplace'?
A sticky workplace doesn鈥檛 involve neglecting to clean the floors for a few weeks, it鈥檚 about creating an environment that people don鈥檛 want to leave; one that attracts new talent like a magnet.
It offers a sense of autonomy, a degree of flexibility around how (and if possible) when and where work gets done, a strengths-based approach to performance, and plenty of opportunities for personal and professional growth.
Encouraging and enabling job crafting is one compelling way of providing all of the above. It allows people to shape their job around their strengths and passions, making it a better fit for them as individuals - positively affecting motivation, satisfaction, wellbeing and performance.
Tailored Thinking uses science-backed approaches to work with leaders and teams to find ways to foster motivation and engagement and a wider sense of belonging and purpose at work.
The consultancy is the bridge between an organisation鈥檚 head and heart, as Rob explains: 鈥淥ur purpose is to create enriching work which allows individuals, teams and organisations to perform better for themselves, their colleagues and their customers. We enable people to bring their whole and best selves to the work they do.鈥
