How it works?

Practical Manager is a team engagement and employee experience platform, and it includes your personal results tool that everyone needs for good time management and business relationships.

It is a concise approach to creating engaged teams and focus of everyone on ‘Employeeship’ behaviour, goal-setting and problem solving, prioritising, and developing good relationships in a team and with other teams across the organisation.

By giving recognition strokes for the positive behaviours, the teams create awareness of what matters most, what they value, and seamlessly build new behaviours by putting each other first.

Teams benefit by shared personal goals and milestones – the OKR (Objectives and Key results) system. It enables them to remain focused and aligned in the same direction.

Practical Manager service looks at various kinds of recognitions that are given and received by team members and introduces useful analytics for empowerment tools: personal and team will-can matrix, organisational reports, rewards suggestions and e-strokes to help team members do their best in achieving business results.

Practical Manager also provides the productivity tool that is needed to gain overview and control of the key areas of responsibilities – the areas that are important to fulfil tasks and activities to achieve the result. It helps company managers and leaders establish better delegation, alignment and employee development in the organisation – and helps everyone to excel in their professional and general business excellence.
