Productive organisations,
prepared for the future.

Sphere-Work offers solutions to help companies become productive organisations prepared for the challenges of the future.

How we can increase your productivity

To support companies in increasing or maintaining their productivity, we work with 2 types of solutions:

  • Cross-domain solutions that work across multiple domains;
  • Targeted solutions that address part of the problem and can help increase productivity in the short term.

Our cross-domain solutions

Our cross-domain solutions work across several domains. They go organisation-wide and are thus situated at a strategic level.

Productivity scan

Based on an OECD study and some scientific studies, Sphere-Work has built a productivity self-scan that enables any company to:

  • identify the 6 HR levers for productivity,
  • determine in an easy and informed way the priorities to keep labour productivity high or improve it further.

Guidance on developing your HR strategy

HR has a direct impact on a company's productivity: the OECD (not the most 'soft' organisation after all) and many other studies have shown numerically the impact HR levers can have on an organisation's productivity.

Moreover, it is becoming more complex to develop a strong HR strategy because the world is becoming more complex: one crisis follows another, customer behaviour is evolving rapidly, different generations are together in the workplace, companies feel the need to work on their productivity, invest in new technology, and so on. This makes it not only more complex, but also even more important to develop a good HR strategy. Without a good HR strategy, you miss an important switch to the future.

Sphere-Work has a specific approach to help you develop a futureproof HR strategy.

Guidance on restructuring

Less than half of restructurings achieve their goals. This is partly because restructuring is usually done on the basis of an overly simplistic approach and an underestimation of the human factor.

Restructuring usually has a very bad connotation: employees are scared of it and managers do not achieve the goals. So often one restructuring follows the next. However, restructurings are often necessary to keep or get productivity high. They can - when done properly - actually produce good results. So the what & how of restructuring is crucial.

Sphere-Work has a great deal of experience in coaching restructurings. Based on that experience, we have developed a specific approach for this.

Our targeted solutions

Our targeted solutions focus on one well-defined domain.

Guidance on creating a skill roadmap

An OECD study from 2021 indicates that the gap between high-productivity firms and those with "ordinary" productivity is widening slightly every year. That study shows that skills are by far the most important lever for
productivity
.

Sphere-Work, in collaboration with talentguide(c), has developed a skill-roadmap solution that allows you to get started:

  • at the skill development level of the individual employee & manager,
  • at the level of HR & the organisation for development and recruitment policies.

Guidance on negotiations with social partners

Striving for high productivity requires change or at least evolution. Getting social partners on board with this is essential. Many people are uncomfortable with the idea of negotiating with these partners. There is often a fear that you will either not achieve your goals or jeopardise future cooperation with social partners.

So: do you play 'hardball' or look for win-win situations? And how do you do that without abandoning your ambitions? How do you conduct social negotiations that

  • support the necessary changes and
  • help further develop a highly productive environment?

Sphere-Work has a lot of practical experience in negotiations with quick results, appreciated by all parties.
