Inevitabl assessive: Change management diagnostic

Helping You Thrive In Change Management By Improving Employee Engagement, Reducing Turnover Costs, & Increasing Productivity

How Prepared Is Your Organization For Change?

Inevitabl Assessive helps you find out. It's your building block to lasting change, fundamental to our work with clients.

inevitabl assessive

Companies without a formal change process struggle. They're reactive. Projects are forced and left to hope. That "strategy" finds resistance every time. Introduce more change, and you're back at square one. Often, you're too close to the issues to see what needs adjusting.

Address these with a focus on change management. We help you assess your change preparedness, training, communication planning, and strategy beginning with employee engagement to find strengths and weaknesses, influencing your operations, revenue, and sustainability.

Through our proven process, you'll establish, reform, enhance the items you need for your change process to become a sustainable competitive advantage.

I'm looking forward to learning about your business and helping you improve employee engagement to hit sales goals, reduce turnover costs, and influence lasting change in your organization.

In health,

Did You Know?


"Change management is a core leadership demand, and an increasingly vital one. Whether leaders are repairing the damage the pandemic inflicted or positioning themselves for new opportunities, many are implementing new strategies, work styles, products -- some are even rewriting their missions" (McLain, 2022, para. 1).

Why Change Fails.

You've probably asked yourself why it's so difficult to implement change. You've come up with a great idea, and when it's introduced, employees don't show the enthusiasm you expected. Often, the issue isn't the idea or the vision; there's a deeper, root cause.

Your Best Starting Point Is In Understanding Employee Engagement.

Baker (2014) as cited in Rastogi et al. (2018) suggests that companies in the United States lose $450 to $550 billion annually to poor performance from disengagement.

disengaged employeeFinding the root causes of employee disengagement is key to making change.

Harter et al. (2002) as cited in Mbhele & de Beer (2021) describe employee engagement as occurring when employees:

  • Have a clear understanding of job expectations.
  • Feel as though their work matters to the organization.
  • Sense that they belong as part of the community.
  • Believe opportunity exists to grow with the company.

Spend all day on strategy and communication, but if you haven't addressed these areas, you'll be stuck applying band-aids instead of implementing sustainable solutions.

Introducing Inevitabl Assessive.

Inevitabl Assessive quantifies your starting point through collecting, organizing, and reflecting on data from employee engagement surveys and leadership self-evaluations.

You'll find strengths; it isn't all bad all the time. And, you'll build off these as change becomes part of your organization's identity.

In the areas where improvements are needed, the why will be clear.

  • Why groups of employees are leaving
  • Why employees feel career growth is stunted
  • Why leaders and employees feel differently about "what's working"

The Benefits Of Inevitabl Assessive.


Once you comprehend the whys, you'll be more confident in attending to the hows.

You'll have clarity on how to:

  • Identify and build on organizational strengths
  • Organize areas that need improvement
  • Isolate * mitigate change process risks
  • Involve appropriate stakeholders
  • Prioritize key initiatives
  • Develop a change process roadmap
  • Implement best practices
  • Accelerate organizational knowledge-building

Why This Matters.

Employee engagement isn't a nice-to-have in organizational culture. It's a must have. Without it, your organization risks losing its greatest assets -- its people -- including key executives.

employee overwork"The more I want to get something done, the less I call it work." ~ Richard Bach

Here's the pattern:

  • Disengaged employees look for other work.
  • They find new jobs and place their resignations.
  • You lose their knowledge, specialty, familiarity with people, company, and systems.
  • Other employees pick up the slack, causing overwork, overtime, and decreasing the quality of output.
  • Your recruiting expenses rise.
  • Finances and people are dedicated to training new and existing employees.
  • Organizational culture remains the same or gets progressively worse.
  • The cycle continues.

That's without considering the disengaged employees who stay, encourage discontent, harm productivity, and make things worse.

Here's The Math.

Financial Impact of Employee Disengagement.

Disengaged employees impact organizations through lost productivity, negative influence on organizational culture, and diminished quality of work. Each of these impact your employees, clients, and your financials.

In our article, Employee Disengagement, we go into significant detail in calculating the related costs. Here's a general overview:

  • Employee Net Promoter Score (NPS) Survey establishes ENPS and rate of disengagement
  • Rate of disengagement x Total # of employees = Total # of disengaged employees
  • Workforce median salary x Average cost of employee disengagement = Average cost per disengaged employee
  • Average cost per disengaged employee x Total # of disengaged employees = Total annual cost of employee disengagement

Here's an example of results for a 1,500 employee organization, showing initial assessment and those following strategic change:

Original


Promoters: 35%

Passives: 50%

Detractors: 15%

ENPS: 20

Disengaged Employees: 225

Avg. Cost per Disengaged Employee: $19,500

Total Annual Cost of Employee Disengagement: $4,387,500

---

Improved


Promoters: 40%

Passives: 52%

Detractors: 8%

ENPS: 32

Disengaged Employees: 120

Avg. Cost per Disengaged Employee: $19,500

Total Annual Cost of Employee Disengagement: $2,340,000

Reduction in Annual Cost of Employee Disengagement: $2,047,500

Financial Impact of Employee Turnover.

Disengaged employees don't always leave. For those who do, simple math puts the cost of employee turnover for a single employee at 1/3 of their annual salary. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (2021) showed the average salary in the United States as $58,260.

business financial impactYou can address the costs of employee turnover.

With turnover of 100 employees in a year, the cost to your business would be $1,942,000.

Other estimates place the total costs at 1.5x - 2.5x an employee's annual salary (Bersin, 2013; Dube et al., 2010; Brezinski, 2014; as cited in Al-Suraihi et al., 2021).

With this, in the same company, losing 100 employees in a year could cost the business $14,565,000.

Here's The Value.

While those figures present a significant mountain to climb, there's reason you can be optimistic.

return on investment"An investment in knowledge pays the best interest." ~ Benjamin Franklin

In the simple math example above:

  • A 15% reduction in employee turnover means your business could save $291,300.

In the second example:

  • A 15% reduction in employee turnover means your business could save $2,184,750.

Whether your company loses 10 employees, 100 employees, or 1,000+ annually, the value in addressing disengagement and turnover is significant.

🚨 More Importantly.

It's great to be able to save your company money and to impact financial statements. But, that's probably not why you do what you do.

organizational cultureEngaged employees drive organizational culture to new heights.

The real value in influencing employee engagement is that you and your team will be able to do more of what you love ❤️ and more of what you're great at. You'll be able to better serve your customers, and truly live your mission, and your why.
