+ Uncovering Root Cause Of The Issue | Banking and Finance
The primary call centre for a large Australian organisation was experiencing above industry standard unplanned leave. We were engaged to uncover the root cause of the issue and identify solutions to create a culture of low unplanned absenteeism. Driven by the minimum employment conditions outlined in the Fair Work Act, the organisation had implemented a new Sick Leave policy. This policy reduced the sick leave employee entitlements. The leadership team were counting on this new policy to reduce their unplanned leave to industry standard. Find out how ...

Testimonials
“Cass Spong has played a vital role in the start-up of the Centre for Positive Psychology at the University Melbourne. Cass has an incredible ability to help the people she works with see the systems in which they operate and understand how to use these systems effectively.
The Systems Map developed by Cass in consultation with my team have critically informed our policy and practise moving forward. The maps have highlighted to us the importance of systems thinking and have elucidated key leverage points for us in enacting our mission. The entire process was highly collaborative and ensured buy-in from the start. Cass is a gifted facilitator and we left her workshops feeling uplifted and inspired.”
“The systems approach has grounded us. It has helped us identify what is within our control and what is not, as well as the most effective places to place our attention to achieve our goals, both as individuals and as a group.
Stemming from this, over the past few months, I have seen some major changes in the perspectives, attitudes, and behaviours of my colleagues, for the better. As a team, we now recognize areas to focus on. These will become part of our strategic direction over the next few years. It has also given us a common language for thinking about the different pressures, both internal and external, that we face.
Cass has been such a valuable asset for all of us. When we began the process, I had some implicit understanding of different factors that influence us, but we often only think about what is right in front of us – what we can see, feel and directly address. Yet this can actually be counterproductive, such that we are working against the larger system. A major takeaway from the process is that by understanding the system, we can rise above the system and more successfully enact sustainable change.”
“We were fortunate to be introduced to ENTHEOS Collaborative Systems Thinking when we came to analysing our staff engagement survey. We had not rolled out a survey for a number of years and the results coincided with the organisations focus on planning and prioritising.
We could have taken the same road to looking at our KPI’s but this new way of thinking helped us look at the root causes and blockages in a different and effective way. Very quickly we were able to come up with 3 key focus areas and develop action plans that would improve our decision making and continuous improvement along with introducing staff values.
We would definitely pick up on this thinking for the next engagement survey.”
