SOUL = Business Solutions that Increase Employee Engagement

Want proof? Take advantage of our automated workflow modeling analysis. We'll provide you with a detailed analysis that includes Employee Engagement - please select "Increase Employee Engagement" when you fill out the request form.

When using SOUL, engagement is defined as "motivation to do good work." With our metrics and methodology, we can help you to accurately measure engagement and increased it throughout your organization. Engaging employees (motivating them) to excel is no longer a nice to have when being competitive, so how are you staying competitive? Using the SOUL methodology ensures that workforce motivation is part of the solution, not the problem.

SOUL Engagement:   We all know that human beings are not static machines, and that includes your employees - they need to be engaged to be at their best. Their experience needs to be used, their skills need to grow and their motivation needs to stay high. Our SOUL methodology makes sure these goals are achieved with common sense applications. Each employee needs to be engaged to excel uniquely at their work. SOUL provide leadership solutions in the form of actions and awareness that will ensure your workforce is engaged.

Using SOUL, the focus on improving engagement is improving motivation of an employee to do good work. It's all about your workforce being motivated to do good work!

Is motivation a financial solution?

The SMM Motivation Management System not only allows you to accurately measure and dramatically improve workforce motivation, but it does it in a unique way that directly translates to cost benefit/financial savings.

Ability to stick to the facts!

Catalyst Technologies (CT) offers SOUL (Solutions Offering Unique Learning), a simple methodology supported by experience, skills and motivation metrics that solve the seemingly impossible business problems by addressing three leadership facts.

• Fact 1 is that each employee is unique in terms of their experience, skills and motivational needs when doing their job. This fact provides direction in assigning tasks.
• Fact 2 is that each employee is in a constant state of learning and growth, whether aware or unaware, based on their daily job experiences. This fact focuses on their learning while completing the task.
• Fact 3 (vital to maintaining engagement)  is that management supervision must maintain the alignment of each employee’s uniqueness, based on Fact 1 (being assigned a task) and Fact 2 (completing a task), to ensure that the customer is consistently satisfied, even when requirements, time or money change.

If you can stick to these facts, you can lead your team more effectively, meet deadlines more reliably and achieve your business goals with greater ease! It is neither more complex than nor as simple as 1, 2 and 3.   And, without surprise, one of the keys to engagement is knowing what motivates each employee uniquely.   In cooperation with the Department of Defense over a 25 year period, Catalyst Technologies has been on the forefront of doing advanced research in leadership, including experience, skills and motivation metrics. Understanding how to measure motivation easily started back in 1978 with an informal study conducted in Japan, reviewing how childhood behavior affected motivation and business change. This informal study turned into a formal research and development project lasting for about two decades. The results were used with great success in improving workforce performance based on measuring motivation using only five pairs of emotional rewards.

If you want it push button simple, CT's "intelligent" SOUL components are designed into u2 Leadership Software and The Daily Companion, both powerful Microsoft Office files. By simply opening these files, you will have industry best practices at your fingertips, along with the ability to use each employees uniqueness to create organization excellence, gain a competitive advantage and achieve unprecedented success.

Allow CT to put SOUL into your organization’s daily life –- and experience a profound difference in realizing your goals.

Secret Sauce is in Using Uniqueness of Employees

When managers do not provide direction or follow-through based on SOUL facts 1, 2 and 3, they are not proactively managing engagement of their workforce. Good leaders must be aware of their teams unique experience, skills and motivation, and continual learning (on-the-job or other) necessary to maintain alignment with satisfying the customer needs. As a leader maintains this alignment, he improves his ability to assign tasks that continually engage his team to excel in satisfying customer needs.

If a leader neglects this responsibility, the organization becomes at risk. Obviously, as the size of the workforce grows, the ability to maintain alignment associated with each employee’s unique experience, skills and motivation becomes overwhelming difficult to impossible, especially with increased productivity and administration requirements. CT’s response, 25 years ago, was to create software and metrics to support a leader’s SOUL. Let them show you their results.

More and more mid-level managers are required to manage and handle more, and it’s only getting worse with the current competitive demands. As the company grows, executives are becoming more and more removed from the implementation workforce. Without surprise, you can understand why CT views these automated SOUL components as leadership software and metrics.
