Case
Study

A dynamic and comprehensive training and staff development plan was planned for 2018. They contacted Sensory Intelligence® Consulting to assist with open plan office productivity within their Learning and Development team in order to roll it out to the rest of the business.

Sensory Intelligence® Consulting delivered the following intervention journey:

1. The Sensory Matrix™ Self-assessment
2. A Sensory Audit™ of their open plan office workspace
3. Shared office productivity workshop
4. Focus, Wellness and Work-life balance workshop
5. Teambuilding with a difference workshop
6. Coaching circles to consolidate for the full team
7. Individual coaching sessions

Objectives were:

• To improve employee wellness by getting individuals to become more self-aware
• To improve open plan workplace productivity by getting teams to recognise and respect their differences

A post-intervention survey was performed to measure impact and results.

We measured 9 team KPI’s to determine the impact of the intervention ±6 weeks post intervention. No other interventions were included in their learning journey at the time.

The 9 components overall showed a collective increase of 143% meaning the intervention was successful and improved team productivity.

The 9 KPI’s were: 1) Self-awareness, 2) Stress management, 3) Managing distractions, 4) Team awareness, 5) Team respect, 6) Team communication, 7) Team conflict management, 8) Team open plan office conduct and 9) Team productivity.

Testimonial:

“We have seen a significant change in productivity in our teams. There is more respect and better communication within the teams. Staff are more self-aware, they manage their own time and distractions better. Their approach to self management, productivity and wellness has shifted. In my opinion, the Sensory Intelligence® intervention has been highly successful and we are planning to roll this out to more
teams in our organisation.”
