Boost in Quality of Service & Engagement at MERCATOR

Challenge

Mercator’s IT department of 80 members grappled with slow response times and poor communication, causing department-wide bottlenecks and tension. Over 300 backlogged requests either piled up or went unnoticed, hampering overall organizational efficiency. Departments’ service quality declined, strategic projects got stuck, conflicts inside and outside teams surged, and even with job openings, attracting new talent became challenging.

What we did

Thriverse designed and delivered comprehensive strengths-based “Thriving Organization” program that took IT department (7 leaders, 5 teams, 80 people & 5 internal coaches) through a steep evolution.

Some of the most important elements of the journey were:

INDIVIDUAL COACHING FOR TEAM LEADERS

All team leaders underwent coaching sessions to hone their leadership using  strengths-based, engagement-centric approach. This emphasis on leveraging team and individual strengths, and having regular meaningful conversations, boosted engagement, accountability, agility, and a sense of purpose.

5X TEAM TRANSFORMATION

All five teams of IT department engaged in team dynamics developmental journey. It improved individual contribution, fostered better collaboration and sense of team belonging, improved efficiency of meetings, and spiked ability to proactively solve ongoing issues.

IMPLEMENTATION OF STRENGTHS-BASED MINDSET

Recognizing individual talents over shortcomings highlighted unique strengths, which led to optimized work delegation, recognition, team and department cohesion.

EVOLVING INTERNAL COACHING CAPABILITY

We set-up academy for HR’s internal coaches, emphasizing the CliftonStrengths methodology for consistent team and individual coaching.

#impact

Result of our interventions was evolved mindset throughout the department, and new team dynamics built on “Top 5% team habits”. Collaboration, agility, and co-dependence became strong new pillars of IT department’s identity.

When recognized for their strengths instead of weaknesses, individuals flourish at work. This shift changed both the IT department's internal dynamics and the organization's perception of them.

"Thriverse helped us radically evolve employee experience in IT department. It brought enthusiasm, collaboration, accountability, psychological safety - all creating a responsive, agile team with top-level Quality of Service."
