In the previous blog post we talked about the analysis results reported. They are the basis for effective and targeted further developments. But first things first...
The steering group
On July 7th, the analysis results were not only presented to the managers, but also to several employees - collectively known as the "steering group". The steering group is intended for the intensive exchange of all interests and for joint decision-making. In the individual steering groups, there are always two permanent and two rotating employee positions planned, as well as all four managers and one or two consultants. This gives everyone in the company the opportunity to actively participate in and help shape decisions.
After the presentation of the results, several packages of measures were presented. These were discussed and approved by the steering group. What sounds quite abstract has already been discussed very concretely and intensively. Even before the first possible measures were presented, the first proposed solutions were put on the table. Some of the ideas overflowed so much that we THE CONSULTANTS specifically derived from in-depth discussions in order to keep the big picture in focus.
Our two newest employees have taken the two changing places, they said at the first steering group meeting:
It was a great meeting with many interesting topics. I see a lot of potential in this project 💪

Internal communication is an extremely important point for the success of a company. I see this project as an opportunity to promote the "we feeling" and thereby improve the work results.

What was decided?
Several subject areas were identified from the analysis results, which will be dealt with in individual workshops. A small but not unimportant start will already take place in July/August, because in order to meet the desire for a clearer structure, the first responsibilities and tasks will be reviewed and reorganized with the managers if necessary.
And this is what the two longest-serving employees in the two fixed positions said:
Yesterday it was very clear that all "4Chefs" want to respond to the needs of the employees. They are open to suggestions and changes that improve operations. That's why we employees should also be open to their suggestions.

Sometimes it takes a little "nudge" to address or express various concerns or topics - that's why I think this project is great!

The actual start in a large group will then take place with all employees in September. Here we deal intensively with ourselves for a whole day - it's about them common sports Nenner DNA. So together we want to define what defines us and guides our actions. It also sounds abstract at first - but to make it actually tangible for everyone, we are again accompanied by DIE BERATERINNEN during this step. And with that we are in the best of hands – because if they have proven anything so far, it is that they have too really know what they are talking about.
Other packages were also approved, which primarily aim to optimize internal processes and strengthen and improve mutual exchange. Two more dates have already been fixed for September and October, so that you can benefit from the COMMON DENNOMINATOR before the start of the winter season. An evaluation will then take place in April 2023 (as of July 2022) and work on our DNA will continue.
We in the family are also involved with the project COMMON DENNER with heart and soul - it gives us strength and the progress so far with our committed team gives energy for the implementation!
As managers, we take that with us from the meeting:
It was a productive meeting with a good atmosphere for discussion. Looking forward to the next group session and the implementation of the project!
Sebastian Mader
It was good to discuss important points that concern us all in one way or another.
Ulla Erhart
It was very interesting, it gives you a better insight. The exchange was very open and honest. We're really excited about it!
