"An incredibly powerful tool helping managers through challenging situations."
Tim Bauer, Chief People Officer, Aenova Group GMBH
The challenge
The corporate HR team required a reliable method to support critical internal processes. Specifically, they needed a tool that could offer real-time, personalised guidance to managers, both within and outside of HR, for handling sensitive situations like annual appraisals and dynamic team workshops.
The goal was to move beyond generic advice and provide targeted, effective insights that improved individual managerial confidence and overall team cohesion.
"I found the ‘reflection questions’ in particular extremely valuable"
The solution
Aenova Group implemented MyTeamBuilder across their entire corporate HR team. The adoption was managed in a phased approach to provide director-level access to content before wider rollout.
Initially, only the responsible director had access to the full content, allowing for a strategic overview. The system was then made available to every team member, enabling wide access to its powerful, personalised coaching features for daily and strategic tasks.
This structured deployment ensured the tool was integrated smoothly into core HR functions, setting the stage for its subsequent use in high-stakes planning.
Results
MyTeamBuilder delivered tangible benefits across multiple high-impact HR functions, moving beyond simple tool usage to genuinely improving organisational effectiveness:
- Accurate appraisal preparation: the tool was used successfully for the annual appraisal process, providing "incredibly beneficial" and accurate insights into how different individuals would react to difficult feedback
- Enhanced team dynamics: preparation for team workshops was significantly improved with MyTeamBuilder's insights on team dynamics, leading to more productive dialogues with the online coach for all participants
- Powerful leadership navigation: it was recognised as an "incredibly powerful tool" for helping managers, including those outside of the HR department, navigate challenging and difficult leadership situations
- Personalised, ongoing coaching: the continuous, proactive support, which becomes more valuable as the online coach "gets to know us better," provides significant individual benefit and improves overall team dynamics
"MyTeamBuilder has improved not only our overall team dynamics, but individually we are all finding the ongoing coaching and support to be so valuable."
