Ten Reasons to Implement Choice Theory in Your OrganizationWritten by Kim Olver
Continued from page 1 3. Room for individuals’ strengths and unique approaches. CT is a framework within which to operate that encourages people’s personal expression. Employees will be able to include their unique and creative talents, as long as they don’t conflict with CT principles. 4. More effective communication. When everyone in your company understands basic framework for conceptualizing human behavior, then communication is enhanced. There will be fewer misunderstandings because all are speaking same language. 5. Less employee stress. Many employees experience stress on job. This usually comes from a lack of understanding about responsibilities. CT assists employees to understand that only person they can control is themselves. Once people stop expending energy trying to change people or circumstances beyond their control and instead begin to focus on what adaptive response they can take, stress levels dramatically decrease. 6. Decreased employee turnover. When management learns steps to create a need- satisfying environment for employees, while holding them accountable for their work, employees become dedicated and committed to work they do. When people are in environments that meet their five basic needs, there is motivation to stay in that environment. 7. Increased creativity. When employees work in an environment created by their employer that allows for self-expression and encourages personal power, limitless creativity is unleashed, which often results in business improvement and expansion. 8. Enhanced relationships. CT teaches people to get their needs met without interfering with others meeting their needs. When this happens, status of their current personal and professional relationships improves both at work and at home. The possibilities are endless! 9. Improved services to customers. Using CT/RT, employees assist customers to clarify what it is they want and to evaluate best ways for getting there. Customers appreciate this approach, which will improve customer satisfaction, resulting in repeat business and an increase in referrals. 10. Decreased Resistance/Increased Cooperation. When CT is implemented in workplace, employees become less resistant and more cooperative because they are being heard. When we stop pushing people in direction we think is best and focus instead on building better relationships, resistance is decreased and cooperation is increased.
