In 2018, we introduced our Make us Better workshops in all departments. With these meetings, which take place every two weeks, we want to create a place where employees in a department can exchange ideas. A place to grow together and become stronger.
The workshop always starts with a positive round. What good things have happened in the last two weeks, where are there positive changes, what would you like to share with the rest of the team? Positive feedback is omnipresent for us at SBH: on the Lässig cards, in all our meetings and also directly.
We will also discuss things that are perhaps not going so well at the moment or that are bothering you. It is by no means intended to be a personal attack, but rather an exchange and finding solutions to various challenges. There are also rules on how to address problems without hurting the other person. For example, you don't say "...your manner is so inconsiderate when you're on early shift..." but instead focus on how you feel about it: "...when I come into work and see that... then I'm disappointed because..."
These workshops give everyone in the team the opportunity to make improvements and talk about things that are bothering them. This helps to prevent negative thoughts or anger and problems in the departments are resolved every two weeks. This makes it possible to grow together into a real team and the guests feel the joy that the team radiates as a result.
What is Dreamwork?
Dreamwork is our employee brand. We deliberately don't call it employer branding (which is now on everyone's lips), because it's not the employer we want to focus on. We don't want to present ourselves as an employer, but rather our wonderful team, our employees, without whom everything would be nothing!
