Mitsubishi X Zortify

Digital Transformation with the help of NLP

25% efficiency increase within the CNC Division

Industry: Electrical Engineering
Product: ZortifyGrow, ZortifyLeader and ZortifyiHPT

The Challenge

In a world of work which is in a constant state of change it is essential to fill the digital transformation with life and to use it as a catalyst for potential. In this way, efficiency, flexibility, and productivity can be permanently increased. The challenge for a successful digital transformation within change management is based on the inclusion of all employees.

The goal of the cooperation between Mitsubishi Electric’s CNC division and Zortify was to define, expand and sustainably strengthen the team culture.

The Solution

1. Management is key with ZortifyCoaching
To prepare for the cultural change in the CNC division, targeted coaching was provided to managers as the first step. The main focus of the transformation was to establish a leadership team, develop an open feedback culture, and promote cross-team collaboration. Additionally, the division aimed to establish bottom-up feedback and value stream thinking to create a more collaborative work environment.

2. Shared growth with ZortifyLeader
Zortify facilitated leadership feedback by providing a platform for leaders to assess themselves and receive feedback from their team members. The tool effectively highlights the differences between self-assessment and the assessment by others, creating a basis for an overall exchange between managers and team members. Following the assessment, team workshops, conflict moderation, mediation, and other interventions were determined based on the results.

3. Room for personal development with ZortifyGrow
The personality analysis conducted by Zortify enabled the capture and evaluation of underlying basic personality traits that are essential for professional success. Along with this, Zortify measured characteristics that play a supportive role in the culture change within the company. This information about a person’s agility and entrepreneurial capital formed the foundation for personal development within an appreciative environment.

4. Efficiency and preference with ZortifyiHPT
Zortify’s third tool in the CNC Division was the Team Role Analysis. It was essential to not only seek out the required profile within one’s own team but also to collaborate across teams to form efficient teams quickly and dissolve them after completion. The analysis helped to determine the preferred performance contribution of each team member, highlighting their strengths, potential, and shortcomings within the team. Based on this, they identified the team’s central role in the project and the appropriate timing for each member.

Roman Gaida

“With the help of Zortify I was particularly impressed by the measurable efficiency gains. Through cross-hierarchical and cross-functional collaboration, we were able to increase our efficiency as a division by more than 25 percent.

More agility and the increased value chain orientation across departmental boundaries have contributed significantly to this.

A jointly supported open error and feedback culture has enabled impressive innovations. Therefore, I am very excited about the future and more milestones we will achieve as a team!”

The Results

In the first cycle of collaboration between Zortify and Mitsubishi Electric, the managers witnessed significant changes as a result of the interventions. The establishment of an open error and feedback culture fostered a progressive and appreciative environment for collaboration. This led to increased mindfulness and self-responsibility among team members. The team developed guiding principles for daily cooperation and implemented them successfully from the outset. Additionally, the managers experienced personal development through this process.

Moving forward, the Mitsubishi Electric Europe Division CNC is committed to sustainable transformation and reflection processes under the guiding principle “ONE CNC – CHANGE IT OR LEAVE IT.”

NLP-based recruiting to help reducing the turnover rate by 30%

Industry: Hair and beauty
Product: ZortifySelect

The Challenge

As a fast-growing Luxembourg company that embraces the start-up culture, Salonkee is continuously expanding its team and currently has a wide range of vacancies for different positions. However, with the increase in speed to source and select people, the HR team is facing a time-consuming and costly challenge of conducting 25 to 30 interviews every week.

Salonkee has a clear goal to build a work environment that is “free of assholes”. This means that the company is committed to creating a positive and respectful workplace culture. Where employees feel valued, supported, and can thrive in their roles.

During the initial phase of the sales team, Salonkee faced the challenge of employees leaving the company quickly due to unmet expectations on both sides. To prevent this from happening again, Salonkee is implementing a rigorous recruitment process to ensure that new hires have a clear understanding of the job requirements and the company culture.

To streamline the recruitment process, Salonkee is committed to conducting the entire assessment remotely. Ensuring that the hiring process is efficient and accessible to candidates from all over the world.

The Solution

Salonkee recognizes the importance of finding the right fit for their team and has implemented ZortifySelect, an AI-driven personality analysis tool, in their recruitment and selection process. The analysis serves as a key factor but is not the sole determinant for decision-making. The final decision is based on a combination of the HR team’s extensive professional expertise, unbiased Zortify analysis, and a comprehensive evaluation of candidates’ overall suitability, emphasizing a holistic hiring approach rather than relying solely on CVs and interview snapshots.

Traditionally, obtaining deep insights into individuals’ capabilities involved time-consuming and costly assessment centers. However, Zortify offers these valuable insights swiftly and accurately, presenting a digital solution that seamlessly integrates into existing processes.

The results from the Zortify analysis are discussed in a subsequent interview, which can be conducted either in person or through video conferencing. Additionally, the results are shared with the candidate in advance, providing them with an opportunity to prepare effectively for the second interview.

By leveraging this comprehensive approach, Salonkee’s HR and Talent Acquisition team can make more informed decisions that positively impact the entire team and proactively shape the company’s culture.

Leadership development & onboarding process

Establish a constructive feedback culture and an efficient onboarding process

Industry: Book trade
Product: ZortifyGrow and ZortifyCoaching

The Challenge

Thalia Austria had a specific goal in mind: to equip each store manager with the necessary skills to excel in their management position. Given the fast-paced nature of book retailing, Thalia recognized the importance of having managers who can take on responsibilities, think critically, and act entrepreneurially.

Effective leadership in today’s constantly evolving business landscape requires an agile mindset. Therefore, Thalia prioritized identifying and promoting individuals with this quality early on in their career, in order to foster situational and contemporary leadership.

Thalia understood that bookstores are unique and so are their employees. Therefore, the development of managers and the promotion of potential within the organization must be tailored to each individual’s uniqueness.

Branch managers are considered key positions at Thalia. They work hand in hand with their team to bring Thalia’s vision to customers. As a result, the company places great emphasis on employee-centric management, with consistent teams and low staff turnover being top priorities for local bookstores.

To achieve these goals, the personnel developers at Thalia in Austria and Germany asked themselves the following questions:

  1. How can employees become real leaders and entrepreneurs in a short time?
  2. How can basic knowledge be efficiently conveyed to new managers so that they quickly settle in and become effective in their new role?
  3. How can a smooth transfer of knowledge between positions be ensured if there is a need for information on the part of “high potentials”?

The Solution

Thalia Austria partnered with Zortify, a leader in leadership development and human resources technology, to provide coaching to its employees. Zortify utilized its personality analysis tool, ZortifyGROW, which not only evaluates the five basic personality traits but also measures a person’s entrepreneurial capital. This allowed for the identification of a wide range of previously hidden potentials and further areas of development.

Zortify provided targeted coaching to Thalia’s employees, taking into account their individual needs and following the personality analysis. Thalia developed an “Onboarding Program into the Management Role” that was close to everyday life, individual, self-determined, and provided targeted support for employees on their journey to store management. The program imparted knowledge on three levels.

Another important aspect of the development of Thalia’s managers was the creation of an action plan. Transparent communication of the expectations and requirements for the new managers enabled all participants to constantly compare their actions with these and reflect on their behavior.

Thalia and Zortify ensured a high degree of flexibility by allowing for individually coordinated coaching appointments and location-independent remote coaching. This approach saved both time and other important resources.

Andrea Resch-Krenn

“At Thalia, an agile mindset and entrepreneurial thinking and working are essential for store managers in the fast-paced world of book retailing.

This analysis provides us with an excellent basis for developing our new store managers in a very targeted manner and providing them with the best possible support in their new management role in all the challenges they face.”
