The IEP Eco-System: Creating Sustainable Growth in Your Company Culture

In our previous article, we shared insights around focusing on the importance of energy accountability with your leadership teams and workforce. 

 

With current trends showing that employee engagement and workplace culture energy will continue to decline in 2024, prioritizing a sustainable growth plan and company-wide approach is essential to the health of your organization, your people, and your well-being globally.  

 

How can you encourage the importance of energy, well-being, work-life balance, and modeling self-care in your organization while maintaining bottom-line results and performance standards? Fortunately, these two things, while seemingly competing priorities, work together to strengthen the sustainability and impact of the organization. One leverage point here is to create an eco-system that supports and inspires an inside-out approach enabling personal energetic accountability AND high performance for each individual. 

 

At Active Choices, Inc., we partner with executives to take a holistic view of increasing your overall business performance through culture optimization. Using our IEP Eco-System framework, we create a micro and macro view for executives to assess and create a plan for impact that addresses all the competing priorities.

 

Here’s a quick overview of the premise for the IEP Eco-System:

Are You New to the IEP Method®?

If you're new to learning about the IEP Method, here are some resources to help get you acquainted with the premise of the framework. 

What is the IEP Method?

The IEP Method (Intentional Energetic Presence®) is ACI’s proprietary methodology and impact model at the heart of our leadership and training programs. Your IEP is the energy you bring to the room and how people experience you each and every moment.


There are three main components of the IEP Methodology:

  • Rebooting your presence
  • Building a strong energetic field and foundation
  • Creating intentional impact


Creating a solid Intentional Energetic Presence will inspire you to take initiative in your life, collaborate more effectively, show up more powerfully, create the impact you want — AND honor your well-being while doing so. Plus, through intentional leadership and the IEP framework, you can help create a positively contagious workplace culture!

Are You Ahead of the Game? Why Proactively Optimizing Your Company Culture Makes Strategic Sense

At Active Choices, Inc., our team regularly interacts with leaders in organizations who are interested in supporting and optimizing their company culture. In today’s business landscape, “culture” isn’t just a buzzword: it’s evolved into a strategic approach that can be leveraged to drive performance, attract top talent, and foster innovation for your company. 

Culture has surfaced as a critical factor that can make or break an organization's success. 

One of the keys to unlocking the power of a strong company culture lies in proactivity and approaching culture optimization strategically. It can sometimes feel simpler and more straightforward to approach your company culture reactively (by changing policies hastily, disregarding employee input, moving forward on engagement campaigns without leadership commitment, prioritizing short-term fixes, etc.), but in the long term, these “quick fixes” are not sustainable and can end up costing your company more time, energy, money, and trust with your people.

 

Let’s delve into some of the top reasons why being ahead of the game in cultivating a positive culture is not just a choice, but a strategic necessity for leaders and executives to pay attention to:
