THE EmployAgility® FRAMEWORK
Build self-efficacy and openness to boost
your business agility
In today's volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous world the skills, knowledge and competencies needed to succeed are changing rapidly - and will continue to change. We know that the days of a “job for life” are gone. Today, more than ever before, people need to be in the driving seat of their own careers - and in our ageing society, they need to do it for longer. The question is often "Where do we start?"
The agility of your employees determines your business agility. Your business agility will determine your success. It's worth finding out where and how to start.

“It’s time for a paradigm shift from employability
to EmployAGILITY."
Philippa's empirical research into Lifelong Employability is published by Springer Gabler and available at Springer.com or Amazon.
From the back cover:
«Increased longevity means that current structures for employment and retirement in Switzerland are not sustainable. To enable individuals and companies to thrive in our ageing society, changes in our social norms and attitudes about work and ageing need to occur. Philippa Dengler examines what these changes are, and what companies can do to support their employees to take control of their individual employability for a longer life.
The practical implications benefit individuals, the companies they work for, and society as a whole.»

“EmployAGILITY is a person's WILLINGNESS and ABILITY to shape their working life flexibly in order to adapt to changing circumstances – and thrive in them.”
We’ve poured the findings from the research into the EmployAgility® Framework ​which includes the easy-to-use EmployAgility® App ready for you to use with your team. It starts with structured self-reflection on attitudes and behaviour in each of the 5 key areas.
How to use EmployAgility with your team
1) Get clarity on which challenges EmployAgility will help you address
Need to up- and reskill? Disappointed with levels of engagement with your L&D offering? Not sure which skills will be required in future? Not sure how to deal with increasing numbers of older workers? Have high attrition rates? Difficult to find the talent you need? What else? In a no-strings-attached call we can find out together.
​
2) Kick off Webinar for EmployAgility
Communicate EmployAgility aligned to your goals and ongoing initiatives. Raise awareness and interest. Explain the process and how it fits with your existing structures and processes. Outline the options for using the data in peer-to-peer coaching, personal development and organisational development.
3) Invite your team members to the EmployAgility® App
Communicate appropriately about EmployAgility and your intentions and follow up with action. Invite your colleagues to the app with a link and access code. It takes about 15 minutes to complete and can be done on a smartphone, tablet or computer.
4) Act on results
Everyone who uses the App gets immediate personal value in the form of pragmatic recommendations that “meet you where you are” in a confidential, password-protected report stored in their profile and sent via E-Mail. It contains recommendations of pragmatic things to do and guides them to build a personal action plan. It’s most effective when used together with a manager, mentor or coach, or debriefed in a skills-building workshop. Their profile enables participants to re-take the questionnaire as often as they like to track their progress in future.
5) Use the aggregated (and anonymised) data to focus organisational and cultural developments
By slicing and dicing the data in the EmployAgility® Leadership Report we can discover where to focus attention to have the biggest impact. See patterns in the aggregated (anonymised) data from your employee’s results. Use data to shine a light on the things you can change to create the environment and culture in which more people are willing, and more people are able, to increase their agility and drive their EmployAgility.
6) Then watch as the employability of your workforce and the business agility of your company increases
Your up- and reskilling budget will have more effect, employee engagement and satisfaction will increase - and your redundancy and external recruitment costs decrease. Importantly, word will spread that at your company personal growth and employability are not just buzzwords.
​
With our EmployAgility Ambassador Programme you can scale up by giving your managers and HR professionals and other interested colleagues the background and skills they need to start helping (and stop hindering) different types of people in your organisation drive their own employability.
​
Different pricing options are available depending on the number of colleagues you involve and the amount of support you’d like. Want to find out more about EmployAgility and maybe try it for yourself for free? Book a no-strings-attached call. We'll discuss your needs and find out together how you and your team can achieve your goals.
