”Our vision is to create better workplaces with engaged employees through helping everyone to use their strengths”

Styrkor creates better workplaces

We believe it is possible to both meet employers interest in increased efficiency at the same time as employees feel appreciated and enjoy going to work.The keys are engagement and a strengths-based culture. According to the ”State of the Global Workplace”-report that Gallup® published 2017, only 14% of Swedish workers feel engaged in their jobs, 75% don't feel engaged and 11% feel actively disengaged. But there is hope - People who focus on using their strengths are six times as likely to be engaged in their jobs!

In partnership with e2grow the last few years we have developed tools and program that help go further and deeper in creating a strengths based culture. We have received very positive feedback from our clients and HR that see significant results when it comes to collaboration and feedback in the teams we have been working. It builds in ”micro-learning” where all participants can access their results via e2grow homepage or app, but also regularly tasks to keep up reflections and applications between the coaching sessions.

How Styrkor worked for us (video in swedish)

”I min ledningsgrupp har alla gjort styrketestet. För att i teamet kunna använda det på bästa sätt bjöd vi in David och hans samarbetspartner till ett heldagsseminarium där vi fick utökad kunskap om styrkebaserat ledarskap på ett effektivt och trevligt sätt.”

Kicki Björklund
VD på Bostadsbolaget

”Det som det framförallt har lett till på vårt företag är att vi har fått ett gemensamt språk som gör att det är lättare att sätta ord på våra likheter och olikheter och hur man kan komplettera/förstärka varandra i ett team.”

Karin Nord
SVP Operations at Affibody AB

”The result is a much greater awareness of your own and each other’s strengths and a few very great action points for increasing the team’s engagement to an even higher level.”

Con Theeuwen
RD&I Manager Cellulosics at Akzo Nobel Functional Chemicals

”Jag tycker StrengthsFinder är ett oerhört bra verktyg, både för att få ihop ett team, men också för att bygga en arbetsplats utifrån varandras styrkor.”

Henrik Enell
Department Manager at NCC

CliftonStrengths®
