Doods
Why DOODs?
A Microsoft survey shows just how much people are underestimated in their jobs: only 12% of employees in German-speaking countries say they have the conditions they need to give their best. Only one in eight have the opportunity to contribute their innovative strength to the company. (Quelle: derstandard.at/2000073788882)
Just a thought experiment: imagine what it could mean for the company to increase this factor even a little! Without any major upheaval, simply by bringing to light what is already there and just waiting to be allowed to take effect. 88% of people can (and want to!) achieve more. It is an existential need to be recognized as a human being and to be able to develop further.
Find out what your team needs and harness this power. Employees are at their best when they experience a positive corporate culture and sincere appreciation, can live out their individual strengths and see themselves as an important and influential part of a greater whole. DOODs is an instrument that helps to fulfill this task.
What is DOODs?
DOODs is a digital tool for increasing personal and corporate performance. Three components promote a corporate culture of appreciation, participation and shared growth.
DOOD's PROFILING...
makes it possible to recognize the most important traits through well-founded personality profiles and the promotion of individual strengths. There is no such thing as "better" or "worse", only consistently positive differences. Because everyone ticks differently - and that's a good thing. Whether you are a confident commander or a subtle researcher, everyone is unique and knowing this enables you to work together better and "understand" your counterpart.
DOOD's SURVEY...
Here you can find out how these individuals feel about their current work situation and what needs to be done to improve working conditions. Once a week, recurring employee surveys consisting of 5 short questions reflect the current mood in real time and provide a platform for obtaining feedback and suggestions for improvement.
In the dashboard, developments in the categories Growth, Culture, Relationship and Facts can be tracked in a differentiated manner. The company's SPIRIT can be displayed at any time at the touch of a button.
DOODs SOLUTING...
DOODs recognizes the need for action and provides DOODs SOLUTINGS depending on the challenge. Suitable step-by-step instructions and best practice examples for easy implementation in the company.
HOW IT ALL BEGAN...
Personal growth and the interplay between happiness and success are key topics for us that have shaped our lives for years - in theory and in practice. We are Isabella Dschulnigg-Geissler and Chris Geissler, CEOs of various companies.
When we took over the Saalbacher Hof a few years ago, it would have been out of the question for us to run the business in the traditional way - we wanted to get involved with everything that is important to us, who we are and what we consider to be worth living for. And yet we ourselves first had to learn, try, question, try again, often jumping over our shadows and a few times into the deep end. Our aspiration for ourselves has always been to develop further in our role as bosses - which we see more as a coach - and to support our employees in making the most of themselves, developing their full potential and living their dreams. It is important to us to see people in their individuality, to empower them and to give them responsibility. This was important not least because our company - as well as our number of employees, some of whom have over 125 wonderful personalities - has grown considerably in recent years.
We have been working intensively for several years with the declared goal of "happy employees". More and more colleagues became aware of our corporate culture of appreciation and participation and asked us for tips and tricks for their company. To find out what the much-mentioned skills shortage really looks like, we conducted one of the largest employee satisfaction surveys in tourism in Austria in 2017. "The end of the industry exodus in tourism". (link to the study)
The result was eye-opening and for us the starting signal for our digital tool DOODs, which was recognized by the Austrian Federal Ministry for Sustainability and Tourism as the winner of the 2017 lighthouse project.
Three key points have emerged in the course of this development:
- Those who can live and work according to their nature are much more motivated, more efficient, more successful - and happier!Taking into account fundamental differences in perception, working methods, communication, ... not only makes it easier to put together teams, but above all to work together on a daily basis: You can better assess yourself and your counterparts, you know what it takes to perform at your best and develop further.
- Continuous feedback leads to continuous improvement.Just the question "How are you actually doing here?", the opportunity to express satisfaction or dissatisfaction in a wide variety of areas, gives a good feeling of being taken seriously and valued. In addition, every employee is encouraged to play an active role in shaping their working environment.On the other hand, the employer finds out where there are problems and can react immediately.
- DO! Ultimately, it's about implementing all of this and making it part of your own corporate culture. We have combined our expertise and tested best practices to create a smart digital tool that offers concrete implementation ideas and solutions. We would now like to provide all ambitious entrepreneurs with DOODs to bring about a positive change in their company - regardless of the industry.
