The Key to Success: Empowered Employees
At INTECH, we understand that the foundation of any successful company lies in its people. Employees who are well-informed about their roles, the needs of customers, and the interdependencies within departments are crucial assets. To ensure our team remains connected and motivated, especially during remote work, INTECH has implemented a unique initiative: House Calls.
What Are House Calls?
House Calls are an integral part of INTECH’s approach to maintaining connectivity and morale while working remotely. This initiative was developed during the pandemic to address the challenges of remote teamwork. It involves structured, monthly online meetings where employees, grouped into ‘Houses,’ engage with senior leaders and colleagues from various departments.
Structure and Purpose
INTECH’s workforce is divided into groups called ‘Houses,’ each comprising about 20 employees led by senior leaders. These smaller, empowered teams foster synergy and enhance productivity. House Calls, conducted via Zoom or Google Meet, are designed to:
Facilitate Personal Connections: Employees get to know each other beyond formal interactions.
Encourage Feedback and Knowledge Sharing: Employees share insights and experiences, contributing to a transparent and collaborative culture.
Acknowledge Achievements: Recognizing individual and team accomplishments helps boost morale.
House Calls are not project-specific but focus on broader topics, including company growth, financial updates, and other relevant information. This approach helps maintain transparency and ensures that employees stay engaged with the company’s progress.
Objectives of House Calls
Building Connections: Employees connect informally, fostering a sense of belonging.
Feedback and Input: Encouraging employees to share their experiences and suggestions.
Knowledge Sharing: Exchanging insights and updates about INTECH’s developments.
Recognition: Acknowledging individual and team achievements.
A Strategic Approach to Employee Engagement
House Calls are designed to address the unique challenges of remote work, keeping everyone connected and informed. By fostering an environment of open communication and empowerment, INTECH ensures that employees feel valued and engaged. This approach supports proactive problem-solving and effective resource allocation, crucial for maintaining a productive and cohesive workforce.
Conclusion
House Calls at INTECH exemplify our commitment to employee engagement and transparency. This initiative helps maintain strong connections between employees and leadership, ensuring that everyone is aligned with INTECH’s goals and values. As we continue to innovate and adapt, House Calls will remain a cornerstone of our strategy to support and empower our team.
