Working in the Steering Committee
In the steering committee, you bundle the results from the department workshops and derive strategic measures for the entire company. Follow these steps:
1. Create Management Summary
Create a brief Management Summary for the top level:
- Summarize the most important insights from the team workshops.
- Use the text editor in the portal or a slideshow of individual images (PDF→PNG or PPT→PNG).
- If you need help embedding the slideshow, please contact Eudemos Support.
2. Review Critical Teams
Refer to the chapter "How to Deep Dive". Identify teams with particularly high stress values:
- Health factors (motivational, psychological health)
- Overload factors (overtime, critical overload, work-life balance)
- possibly relationship factors
For each critical team, create a suggestion draft in the suggestion module, convert it to an Active Suggestion, and set visibility to "Confidential" so no one sees which teams are classified as critical. Then assign the Active Suggestion, e.g., Measures Workshop for Team A to Team A.
3. Identify Cross-Cutting Focus Topics
- Summarize the most frequent topics from all areas into focus topics.
- Involve specialist departments if necessary (e.g., IT, HR, FASI) to get expert input.
- Create a public or confidential suggestion draft in the portal for each focus topic.
4. Measure Types & Reactive vs. Preventive
In the steering committee, you decide at which level measures should be applied and whether they are reactive (to an existing problem) or preventive (to avoid future stress). Use the five measure types for this (see "Workshop with Your Team"):
| Type | Description | Actors |
|---|---|---|
| 1. individual measures for employees | Health promotion offers, social counseling, resilience programs... the company can only offer/advertise. | Employees, Health Management |
| 2. individual measures FK ↔ MA | Mindfulness/absence conversations, individual agreements... | Manager, Board, Employees |
| 3. team-related measures | Agreements on collaboration, role clarity, feedback loops... Effectiveness in the immediate system. | Manager & Team |
| 4. expert-driven measures | Measures by occupational safety, IT, data protection, occupational medicine... requires expertise and system responsibility. | Experts |
| 5. structural-systemic measures | Priorities, governance structures, organizational structure, resource allocation... only the top level can decide; shape the framework for all other measures. | Board |
Tip: Separate reactive and preventive measures in separate drafts to be able to decide specifically later.
5. Check Measure Workshop Recording
Ensure that all specialist moderators and managers have recorded their workshops in the portal analogously to "Workshop with Your Team".
6. Consolidation of Suggestions
After completion of all workshops (externally moderated + manager workshops), you will see all drafts in the portal.
- Review them together in the steering committee.
- Merge similar drafts into a joint suggestion using the Merge function.
7. Create Decision Templates
For large cross-cutting topics, create new decision templates in the decision module and insert the reviewed suggestions from various levels there.
(Working with the decision module is explained in a separate chapter.)
This gives you the basic building blocks to systematically move from department results to a company-wide measures plan in the steering committee. Good luck!
