Their Story

In response to the Covid-19 pandemic, the government statutory board underwent a significant restructuring of its people and work processes. During this period, employees were redeployed to urgent new roles to support the Covid response efforts. However, as the situation improved and the need for these emergency roles diminished, they recognized the importance of ensuring a smooth transition for its employees back to their original teams and work assignments.

To facilitate this transition, they engaged Lifeskills Institute to conduct virtual DISC workshops for each division, which consists of 15-25 employees. These workshops were designed to help employees understand their own communication and work styles, as well as those of their colleagues. By increasing self-awareness and improving interpersonal communication, the workshops aimed to promote a more cohesive and productive work environment. To date, Lifeskills Institute has conducted over 10 runs of the workshop, helping their employees successfully transition back to their original roles.

Our Solution

The virtual DISC workshop was conducted in two 2-hour-long sessions.

Session 1 

Employees received personalized DISC reports to understand their strengths and weaknesses.

Session 2

They learned to manage conflicts and assess group dynamics. The sessions were interactive, with breakout room discussions and group activities, and were tailored to the team/department they work in. 

Their Outcomes

As a result of the virtual DISC workshop conducted by Lifeskills Institute, the employees have been able to quickly and smoothly transition back to work with their original teams, demonstrating increased inter and intra-personal awareness, greater cohesiveness, and improved effectiveness. The workshop not only helped individual employees develop a better understanding of their own work styles, but also enabled them to gain insights into the communication and work styles of their colleagues.
Furthermore, the workshop provided leaders of the statutory board with a better understanding of their team's personalities, or "organizational DNA." Armed with this common language, leaders are better equipped to craft and communicate strategic plans that resonate with their employees and departments, leading to greater buy-in and overall success.
