Less to keep in your head. A clearer overview of your daily work.
All ten pilot respondents would recommend the course.
Serge Bärtschi from People Development brings PH to Swiss Post. Positive feedback leads to the training being included in the internal learning offer.
“I would like my leadership team to be able to benefit from this offer too.”
Patrick Aregger, Deputy Head of the Wädenswil Distribution Area, wants to involve his leadership team. At PostFinance, one participant’s enthusiasm leads to a keynote for Asset Management Solutions.
Serge Bärtschi describes the “very positive internal word of mouth”.
At PostFinance, Montserrat Pena books directly for her Procurement team, as Swiss Post courses fill up quickly. After the training, she reports that it has made daily work significantly easier for the whole team.
More than 200 employees have taken part. Sixteen alumni recommend PH internally.
Manuel Bläuenstein from People and Organisational Development welcomes this approach: “The champions idea is a good one.”
“After the modules, motivation to put what we have learnt into practice is very high. […] I would find it a great shame if the training were shortened, as I would like to introduce it for leaders and believe everyone should attend.”
Translated from German.
“We are all VERY happy with the course, apply it continuously and recommend you to others.
We all agree that the programme has made our daily work significantly easier.”
Translated from German.
“For me, the training was very valuable because it was offered internally and we could take the specific tools we use every day at PostFinance and adapt and configure them directly.”
Translated from German.
“I can integrate what I learnt into my daily work really well, and it helps me plan and complete my tasks and makes things calmer in the sense that my inbox no longer constantly contains a three-digit number of unread emails.”
Translated from German.
“I took part in the last Productivity Habits training and gained a great deal from it, and I go home in the evening satisfied and with everything ‘in order’.
My vision: everyone in our organisational unit, down to team leaders and their deputies, should have the opportunity to attend this training.”
Translated from German.
“As my deputy also attended the course, we do not always both need to work in the office, and each of us can see what the other has already done.”
Translated from German.
“During the training, employees realise what a relief it is when they can put tasks out of their minds until the computer reminds them.”
Translated from German.
