Dale Carnegie is VEKA's long term development partner. Together, we created the VEKA WAY, enabling people to take ownership and responsbility for living and breathing the VEKA WAY.
"Leading THE VEKA WAY was for us not only a development opportunity for our leaders but also an opportunity to strengthen our culture and vision of business success through the investment in our people. Ensuring that our leaders were demonstrating consistent behaviours through their actions and conversations throughout the organisation."
Gabriela Hammond, Head of Human Resources, VEKA UK Group
Challenges
VEKA is committed to a culture that everyone can identify with and belong to – one that strongly reflects the values and standards of the company. This led to the creation of ‘THE VEKA WAY’ to ensure consistency of operations across the business and in how their leaders lead.
Solutions
After assessing the business needs it was decided that a bespoke programme incorporating elements of Dale Carnegie’s open programmes would be used to help VEKA achieve their goal. Dale Carnegie is VEKA’s long term development partner. Together they created the VEKA WAY. Working with multiple groups across the organisation they deliver practical solutions that enable people to take ownership and responsibility for living and breathing THE VEKA WAY.
Results
Over 70 people have now taken the programme, extended recently to include department trainers. Tangible and observable behaviour changes have been evident amongst those attending the programme, leading to stronger levels of employee engagement as measured by the company survey. This will also support the future succession planning strategy and talent development across VEKA.
