BathLearning NewsThe Performance Solution

Understanding how people filter for information and where they place their interest and energy can assist line managers in motivating them by using matching language. This then builds rapport, helps people feel comfortable and accepted at work and motivates higher performance. In these challenging times we need our employees to give the best customer service possible and they can only do this if it comes from within.

The Performance Solution has introduced a simple linguistical and attitudinal analysis tool to the UK which measures information processing filters and is providing employers with valuable information from which to motivate employees to go the extra mile. The iWAM tool is particularly useful for customer service and call centre staff to aid effectiveness and retention.

A two day familiarisation programme explains the concepts and introduces the fully automated system. Further training enables users to build models of excellence so that employees can be benchmarked or recruited against best performers. Initial research studies have shown phenemenal results in Australia and sample reports and statistics are available.

Sally Vanson, Managing Director of The Performance Solution explains, "in these challenging times employers have to invest in the best possible employees and so we need to know how to motivate them to get optimum results and so maximum return on our investment. It can save so much time and effort if we can get this information and share it with line managers to accelerate achievement of goals and ensure customer satisfaction and retention. The system is robust and simple to use, extremely cost effective and feedback on the training is that the concept is inspirational. Already we have been asked to train internationally".
