Innovative Thinking Inspired by Energised Learning Environments

3SIXTY has been privileged to partner with a new business client whose inspired work environment has led to innovative thinking in the way they motivate and energise their employees. The beginning of a new partnership always presents challenges an
d we aspire to work alongside our clients using a unique approach to discover the science which extends what employees have at work into creating an inspiring and experiential learning experience.

What unfolds is that employees reflect on the purpose and meaning of their work, and collaborate to make changes more aligned to their teams vision and values.

Flexible, fun, and challenging

are key elements that are currently working well to make employees feel they are at a great place to work. When a business is driven by its passion for people they aim to embed a culture of innovative thinking by using modern management strategies to motivate, communicate and drive business goals

Establishing diversity in roles and responsibilities keeps employees engaged, and wanting to be educated, learning from their peers and colleagues and passing along their learning to others in their team.

Providing equal opportunity and
allowing autonomy, transparency and visibility across departments is another way this dynamic company is moving forward to create a great place to work. Providing clear progression paths is a motivating factor in employee engagement within the business and 3SIXTY strives to empower people to create career pathways of their choosing.

This is just one of many examples of how 3SIXTY partners with our clients to create memorable learning experiences and make work life better!

Why Workplace Purpose Really Matters!

3SIXTY recently had the privilege to present our research findings to over 400 business leaders from one of our leading and highly successful long term clients recently. Our corporate research was compiled over 2 years and confirmed a significant insight into what has driven and continues to drive this organisation to achieve sustained success. The results clearly showed that connected, capable and committed PEOPLE, and creating a great PLACE to work have been the foundations to driving ongoing business PERFORMANCE.

In our research, we found the Top 3 Themes which matter the most to employees right now are:

Having a career that allows people to pursue both their purpose and their passions
Providing the opportunity to learn from well structured, individually focused training programs, strong role models, and fostering career progression to enhance personal growth
Giving employees a real sense of belonging, all working together in pursuit of common goals and greater good

These are consistent with, and congruent to, current industry research by Josh Bersin, Gallup and Glassdoor who have highlighted the big industry themes that matter the most to employees right now being Culture, Leadership, Meaningful Work, Training, Career and Work-Life Balance.

Right now the majority of companies have 21st Century internet enabled business processes, mid 20th Century management processes, all built atop 19th Century management principles

This demonstrates that a change in leadership is needed in the 21st Century for the millennial workforce whose expectations are aligned to the above themes. We feel confident that employees from all generations are now looking beyond their pay check to find their real sense of meaning and purpose in their role. No longer can organisations rely on what we term ‘artificial sweeteners’ such as free coffee, food and time out to play video games to keep them engaged in their work and connected to the organisation!

Instead, direct value will be gained from professional development programs focused on growing people personally. Employees expect to have ongoing empowering conversations rather than annual performance appraisals and view their manager as a mentor instead of their boss – who will help them to see beyond their limitations and consistently encourage their talents to evolve in the workplace.

Ultimately, these emerging common themes will positively impact organisation leaders who realise that employees are not just there for a job, they are there to discover how their work will help them to do their best in every part of their life.

If an organisation is serious about achieving sustained business performance, then serious consideration is needed to find meaningful ways to motivate and develop their people. And if an organisation is serious about their people, then they need to apply our latest research findings to make the workplace BETTER!

(Quote from Hamel, G. & Breen, B. 2007, “The Future of Management” Harvard Business School Press)

Learning Delivered Differently!

We pride ourselves on creating a learning environment that inspires quality thinking, meaningful conversations, and deeper insights where participants can share their stories and ideas uninhibited. Using outdoor spaces, letting in natural light, and breaking away from the corporate environment opens up 3SIXTY participants to allow for positive reflection and real outcomes.

Thanks again for putting together a fantastic team building and sharing experience. All managers have commented that the experience far exceeded what they thought they would draw from it!

Our strategic and innovative workshops offer the unique and valuable opportunity for managers to think consciously and constructively about their leadership impact on business performance as well as the people they lead. This supports participants to envision a brighter future, make deeper connections within workplace relationships and develop a strong commitment to having a sense of purpose in their leadership roles.

3SIXTY’s experiential approach to learning, combined with an inspirational environment, proven methodologies, and innovative concepts actively engages our participants’ motivation to make lasting behavioural change. Our introspective learning activities and development processes enhance leadership capabilities for managers to stay relevant and current in the modern workplace. This builds the pathway for their teams to reach common goals, further cement their effectiveness as leaders in the 21st Century and strive to be better people in their personal and professional lives.

Another Inspirational DAY with 3SIXTY

…thanks to our friend, Alastair Day!

At a recent leadership development workshop, 3SIXTY participants had the privilege to spend personal time with Ali and learn more about high performance psychology and the power of achievement thinking.

Ali’s secret to success is founded on a strong self belief, humility to help others, and driven with a sense of deep purpose to be a BETTER person and always strive to do BETTER!

It was a pleasure to work with such a wise and humble young man who supports our 3SIXTY mission to make work life better. Alastair said, “Tony was inspiring in the way he was able to show the team the parallel between my stories and theirs.”

Watch to learn about his inspiring story and what makes Alastair Day truly UNSTOPPABLE! Let us know if you want to create a lasting learning experience for your staff with 3SIXTY’s truly inspirational leadership workshops delivered differently!

I loved working with Tony and 3SIXTY and had an amazing experience sharing my story. I certainly left the room that day on a high! Can’t wait for the next time we work together
