SUNNYVALE, Calif., Jan. 20, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- In highly
technical environments, convincing leadership and employees about
the importance of personal development can be challenging.
Leading the manufacturing industry, Bosch Rexroth adopted
the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator®
(MBTI®) assessment as part of their management
training in Northern Europe. Their
goal was to increase self-awareness (the cornerstone of emotional
intelligence). Immediate results exceeded expectations:
- 95 percent voluntary employee participation rate, increasing
the chances of creating the right company-wide culture
- In-house training delivered by trusted employees, increasing
session success
- Improved understanding between departments leads to improved
customer experience
Embedding emotional intelligence culture in a technical
DNA
Bosch Rexroth profiles itself as a learning company. It
trains and develops technical employees, helps them get
qualifications, and creates career opportunities. They used the
MBTI assessment as foundational emotional intelligence training,
creating pre-training information sessions and having in-house
practitioners deliver the training.
"We called the whole program Competence World. [It's] like an
adventure park—you have thrills, perhaps you're excited, sometimes
afraid. You come through the entrance, which is MBTI foundation
training. After that, you can go where you want and choose your
direction," says Mette Boeegh-Nielsen, Commercial Director for
Bosch Rexroth Denmark.
Solving real-life challenges with self-awareness
Currently, training for the Belgium office is well underway and the
Denmark office is even further
ahead. According to the company, initial responses have been
exceptionally positive.
"There's been huge interest from people across the
business―managers, associates, student workers, trainees―and it's
been open to everyone. We're doing teams and problem-solving now.
These are full-day workshops where we bring departments together so
we can see the interplay between them. It reflects daily working
life," says Boeegh-Nielsen.
