I’m looking for
participants for a research project I’m launching the week of October 5th.
The focus is on performance in the workplace, it’s at no cost to the
participants, and everyone will learn from it.
Over a six-week
period, participants will be asked to spend just 5 minutes per week answering three
2-part questions. Over that time, the participants will become aware of things
that positively and negatively impact the performance of themselves, their
employees, and their organization. This awareness alone will help the survey
participants improve performance in the workplace.
But wait,
there’s more! At the end of the six-week period, I will assemble a report
outlining the learnings from the survey – one part will be specific to the
individual, and the other part will be a compilation of all the participants’
responses. Obviously, I will ensure the information is presented anonymously,
so sensitive information will not be shared. And most importantly, I will provide
recommendations on how performance can be improved in the workplace.
I also plan to
bring together any of the participants who wish to gain even more insights from
the study for a round-table discussion, where individuals can learn from the
results and each other.
As I’ve
mentioned in previous posts, it’s more important than ever for employees to
perform at their best. Without that, jobs, careers, and entire companies may
not survive. And yet, research has shown that 77% of employees in the US do not
perform at their best, and 44% admit to only doing what is required to get by
in their job. That’s dangerous!
I’ve conducted
some informal surveys over the past year, and have begun to discover critical
information that could make or break an organization – things that lead to
employees not performing at, or even near their best.
Imagine if even
most of the employees in your company performed just 10% better. What impact
would that have on the organization? What impact would that have on you
personally?
I expect this
survey to provide some keys to doing just that – to helping more individuals
and teams perform better.
If you have
interest in participating in the project, or know anyone else who may want to, please contact me by email or post a comment below. I am
looking for variety in terms of the types of industries represented, the size
of the organizations, and the types of individuals. Ideally, the participants
will be business owners, C-level executives, or any level of manager
(preferably, with more than 3 people reporting to him or her).
Again, if you’re
interested in learning how you can improve performance in the workplace by
participating in the project, please contact me by email or post a comment before October 7th.
P.S. - I'm also collecting information for a book I'm writing, and I'm hoping that some of what I learn from this project will make it in print. So, if that interests you...
