World rulers used to fight for land. Today they fight for energy. Why? Because energy is the ability to get work done. And in many ways, energy has become the currency of this sped-up, stressed-out, spread-thin, but very exciting and stimulating era.
Companies today donít want just any energy from their employees ñ they want intelligent energy marked by focus, flow, passion and purpose. Think about your own personal energy level. Now put it together with the energy levels of those you work with and it begins to produce organizational energy.
To help measure how much energy is released in a work environment, Brady Wilson and his team at Juice Inc. have spent three years researching and developing a tool called The Juice CheckTM. Leaders can use this same tool to uncover issues for an entire team or organization, enabling them to create a healthy, high-performing culture where it feels good to work and itís easier to get results. A confidential Team Juice Check Report for up to 30 participants is available for $495.
ìHereís where a culture filled with a kinetic buzz can really begin to ignite smart behaviour and capture a leaderís attention,î says Wilson. ìPeople anticipate one anotherís needs and leverage one anotherís efforts. Sustained results naturally follow.î
Saint Elizabeth Health Care, a not-for-profit with a powerful vision that puts patients in control and at the center of their own care, used an organizational Juice Check for more than 100 managers to kick off a two-day employee engagement workshop. Their goal was to use the tool to provide a common framework for understanding one another so they could unleash and sustain intelligent energy throughout the entire organization. The process is ongoing and Saint Elizabeth Health Careís efforts are producing results ñ the organization was recently recognized as one of the 30 ìBest Workplacesî in Canada.
ìTo reach the heights of phenomenal knowledge and care, we need all of our staff to feel energized by their role and the environment they work in,î says Shirlee Sharkey, president and CEO. ìThe Juice Check is a simple yet powerful tool that everyone can understand and use, from our front-line staff to senior management. There is tremendous value from a strategy and planning perspective, because your answers to engagement issues can be found right in the questions.î
You can measure your own personal energy level for free at www.Juiceinc.ca/juicecheck. A five minute time investment will result in a report that uncovers 20 crucial areas that either contribute to an individualís personal energy level, or that deplete it.
