Over the past few months, the results of the employee survey have been published on the intranet, along with additional information. One of the measures accompanying the survey was a series of workshops where employees had the opportunity to discuss the results with Group Executive Management.
The information about the follow-up measures to the employee survey made me curious about the current situation and the opportunities available to me in line with the motto “Act as if it were your bank." So, I seized the chance and participated in one of the workshops.
The workshop had a full agenda and a tight schedule, which was maintained thanks to excellent moderation by Michael Verling. First, we received an update on each follow-up measure from Christoph Reich, including which proposals from the first workshop round would be pursued, which would not, and why. We were then asked to provide our feedback on each point, which we worked through with the moderator in both structured and open formats. This resulted in a snapshot of the opinions within the group that, understandably, did not always align. In the workshopʼs open and relaxed atmosphere, it was easy for everyone to share their views. I found it very interesting to hear perspectives and arguments from colleagues in other LLB departments. Unfortunately, the packed agenda limited more in-depth discussions, which I personally regret a bit, as I would have liked to gain a deeper understanding of some of the points raised.
I believe itʼs important to provide feedback on the proposed measures, as this is the only way to make adjustments to individual points – where possible. At the end of the workshop, we learned how our input would be used. The feedback recorded on flipcharts from all the workshops is consolidated and incorporated into the ongoing implementation of measures.
All in all, the two engaging hours flew by and offered several opportunities to meet new colleagues, work with a Group Executive Management member in a workshop, and – as much as possible – influence the measures currently being implemented from the last employee survey. “Act as if it were your bank” – I believe a workshop like this is an excellent tool to achieve that goal.
