The People Program

Introduction

The PEOPLE program is a way for me to foster the well-being of the individual team members with an emphasis on mental health, relationships, motivation, and skills. Read more about Design Programs.

Initiatives

Overview

Team members need a certain level of stability and wellbeing in order to contribute to the best of their abilities. And yet, nearly all of our time and attention is devoted to feature work and the business needs. A people program brings attention to the individual's needs.

This program allocates appropriate time and attention to developing trusting relationships, recognition of achievements, identifying strengths and weaknesses in order to develop and advance careers. The team will become even more unified. People will feel happy and motivated with their work. They will feel a sense of personal accomplishment as they develop new skills and strengthen working relationships.

Results

The PEOPLE program consistently receives positive feedback from team members. I attribute my high approval ratings as a manager directly to the effort that I've put into this program. Not only does the team benefit from the initiatives, running the PEOPLE program has been one of the most rewarding aspects of managaing a design team for me personally.
