Vasakronan - A long-term partnership that strengthens both leadership and engagement

Since 2009, Vasakronan has worked with Brilliant to strengthen leadership, engagement and organizational development. Through the combination of the Engage platform and consultative support, the organization has built a long-term approach that has contributed to very strong results in employee surveys and a strong follow-up culture.

From insight to long-term development

For many years, Vasakronan has worked systematically with employee experience, leadership and organizational development. The goal has been to create a long-term and data-driven approach where insights are used as active support for both leadership and business.

Over time, needs have also changed. The platform needed to be easy to use for both HR and managers, while the organization wanted to be able to:

  • track progress over time
  • create their own questions based on business needs
  • work data-driven without creating unnecessary administration
  • strengthen the dialog in teams and management groups
  • get support in sensitive or complex group situations

Vasakronan has evaluated several alternative suppliers over the years, but has continued to develop its collaboration with Brilliant.

A platform that makes it easy to work data-driven

Vasakronan uses Brilliant's Engage platform for both pulse surveys and larger employee surveys. The platform is used to measure and follow developments in areas such as:

  • engagement
  • leadership
  • work environment
  • team development
  • follow-up of organizational changes

An important element for the HR team has been the user-friendliness of the platform.

"The portal is very easy to work in. It's easy for our managers to go in and look at their results and show the results to their teams," says Sara.

The ability to create your own questions directly in the platform has also made it easier to adapt the work to the current needs of the business.

Consultative support when the dialog becomes extra important

In addition to the platform, Vasakronan regularly uses Brilliant's consultants for analysis, feedback and workshops.

Every year, analysis reviews are conducted where Vasakronan receives support in interpreting the results and translating them into concrete priorities and dialogues in the organization.

In particularly challenging situations, such as groups with low psychological safety, conflicts or low confidence in leadership, external workshops have been an important support.

At the same time, Vasakronan has gradually built up an internal capacity to hold workshops itself and work on the results in the organization.

"When there is low psychological safety or concerns about anonymity, it can be very valuable to bring in someone from outside," says Sara.

Acting on the results gives strong results over time

Through the long-term work, Vasakronan has established a way of working where employee insights are used as a natural support in both leadership and organizational development.

Some effects of the collaboration:

  • An established and data-driven approach to monitoring engagement and leadership
  • High use and acceptance among managers thanks to a simple and clear platform
  • Strengthened dialog in teams and management groups
  • Ability to quickly identify and act on organizational challenges
  • A flexible way of working, combining internal HR resources and external expertise as needed
  • Several top positions in Brilliant Awards thanks to strong and long-term high results in employee surveys

Vasakronan has over time established very strong results in its employee surveys and has on several occasions placed top 3 in its category in the Brilliant Awards. The organization also has a high degree of follow-up and dialogue in the business, where the results are actively used in both teams and management groups to drive development and strengthen leadership.

The combination of Brilliant's platform + consulting support is a winning concept

1. Technology creates value only when it is used

A simple and clear user experience has been crucial in creating high usage among managers and making the results a natural part of the business.

 

2. Data-driven insights need human context

Results alone do not create change. The combination of the Engage platform and consultative support has made it easier to understand what lies behind the results and how the organization should act.

 

3. External support is particularly valuable in sensitive situations

In cases of low psychological safety, conflict or concerns about anonymity, an external facilitator can create greater openness and better dialogue.
