Introduction

In this White Paper, I seek to join the dots between employee experience, personalisation, and intrinsic motivation, give three examples of how leaders are looking to maximise positive employee emotion in business today, and provide four tips for understanding the emotional impact of personalisation that can be applied immediately to your organisation or team.

This is a companion piece to ‘what is personalisation’; building on the argument that Williams makes, personalisation demonstrates care and enables connection between the employee and the organisation, and as such, it’s a performance multiplier.

Create discipline by focusing on purpose

Discipline skyrocketed when Abrashoff’s crew believed that what they were doing was important.

See the ship through the eyes of the crew - empathy

By soliciting a sailor’s suggestions, Abrashoff drastically reduced tedious chores that provided little additional value.

Listen aggressively

After learning that many sailors wanted to use the GI Bill, Abrashoff brought a test official aboard the ship and held the SATs forty miles off the Iraqi coast. From achieving amazing cost savings to winning the highest gunnery score in the Pacific Fleet, Captain Abrashoff’s extraordinary campaign sent shock waves through the U.S. Navy. It can help you change the course of your ship, no matter your business battles are fought.
