Reduce absenteeism

With effective workshops and heartful group coachings
Reduce absenteeism dramatically

documented effect from several cases

Ambitious Teams offers to tailor a workshop programme with the specific intent to reduce absenteeism in your your organisation. Once we have identified the sources of the absenteism, Ambitious Teams delivers 3 workshops and 2 group coachings over the course of 3-6 months. Ambitious Teams offer your HR-department to play a significant role in the process. It will be a joint success.

The self-aware team

1 day workshop

Everyone in the leadership team receives a psychological profile, which is used as a foundation in the process towards creating your vision and vision statement.

Everyone is made aware that the vision should be compelling and motivating, so that it is both understandable and easy to translate into action later on.

In other words, management defines its own temporary vision.

Team coaching

2 hours

The final vision of the organisation has not been found yet. Employees must also be involved to ensure that the vision is deeply rooted in each person. This is a responsibility that management is welcome to take on.

Therefore, in involving the whole organisation, management is given psychological tools, handouts and powerpoints to run a 2-hour visioning process for the rest of the organisation. Ambitious Teams can also facilitate this part of the process.

Employees then submit their own vision proposals to Ambitious Teams.

Team coaching

2 hours

Ambitious Teams facilitates a visioning process for everyone involved, in order to find the final vision statement.

The rest of the participants get their own Insights Profiles, so we can anchor the vision in the self-awareness, pulse and heartbeat of the organisation.

The final vision is created through empathetic dialogue and acknowledgement of the vision suggestions received.

Motivational feedback

1 day workshop

Within the framework of the vision, the mission is now discussed, i.e. how the vision becomes a reality at the operational level.

Each commits to different tasks and missions, but especially to living the vision on a daily basis.

The underlying motivation behind the vision is translated into action. This is the end of a successful and motivating visioning process, where everyone contributes positively to the realisation of the vision of the future.

Specific case with

reduction of absenteeism and elevation of well-being

“The psychiatry department in Region Midtjylland has been incredibly happy to collaborate with Ambitious Teams that has been forthcoming, inventive at all times and anchored our project in “Let us raise each other up”. We had the ambition to decrease the absenteeism as well as roling out a cultural change process. With a curious approach, Ambitious Teams willingly designed and developed a process to meet our needs.

The process included a change in perception, mindset, habits and focus. In collaboration we established a best practice structure to reduce absenteeism, anchored in creating vibrant departments with a high degree of self-awareness. The learners had to be aware of how the signals they send are interpreted by their colleagues. The chosen departments participated on these three workshops with Tom Fisker Jørgensen:

1) The self-aware team

2) Respectful communication

3) Motivational feedback

All the workshops were adapted to the specific themes and issues of the respective departments. In between the workshops I delivered group coaching sessions, with the intent to anchor the learnings from the workshops. There are many contributing factors to the overall success of the programme: the willingness to collaborate in the departments, the collaborative spirit of the leaders, the engagement of the employees, and surely everybody’s flexibility in a time a Covid 19.

But one of the desivey moments in the success was that we collaborated with Ambitious Teams to develop three workshop booklets containing themed exercises, easy-to-understand research, dilemmas and challenges. We were able to continue the specific learning in between the workshops, practicing daily the essential learnings. All the workshops were evaluated more than 9/10 by all the participants, often even higher yet.

Several departments show a dramatic decrease in absenteeism, an increase in the overall well-being, and the process is on-going.

I recommend Ambitious Teams as a collaborating partner, who is open for inputs, good at integrating visions, and who delivers on promises and so much more.”
