From turnover to trust:
How I helped a leadership team retain their coworkers
The Challenge
High employee turnover presented a critical challenge for the company, disrupting its ability to sustain an engaged and productive workforce. While surface-level factors were evident, the leadership team struggled to identify the deeper, systemic causes driving resignations. Without addressing these underlying issues, improving employee retention remained an elusive goal.
The process
I conducted a comprehensive analysis of the organisation, evaluating the personalities and working styles of the leadership team and selected employees to uncover core dynamics. Using these insights, I delivered a detailed review to the leadership team, highlighting critical gaps in trust and communication between leader and employees. I then provided tailored strategies and practical tools to strengthen relationships, ensure greater clarity, and cultivate a more supportive and collaborative work environment.
The results
The interventions resulted in significant improvements, including enhanced employee well-being through a more supportive environment and greater workforce cohesion driven by improved trust, and reduced turnover, providing the company with much-needed stability.
I’ve gained a deeper understanding of myself, and my personal leadership has been strengthened.
I feel more grounded and present in my role, and I’ve improved my communication,
ensuring I think things through carefully before making any final decisions.
I now have better insight into my employees, allowing me to adapt my leadership approach to them,
resulting in more cohesive collaboration.
Fabiola constantly challenged us to be more specific about what we mean.
She brings a holistic approach, great knowledge of the mind, and I feel her authenticity and genuine presence.
