Ownership instead of consumerism

At wyrd, employees are not served a clear career plan. wyrd provides the tools so that they can address their development and suggest it to their manager. Because anyone who shapes their own development develops intrinsic drive.

Relevance instead of standard process

“One size fits all” doesn't work in development. Instead of rigid forms, there is freedom of choice — tailored to the situation and needs. Job workshop, 360° pulses and Journey to the future are modular tools that motivate, invite active engagement and help, personal Development goals to clarify and track.

Frequently asked questions

Who is responsible for development at wyrd?

Clearly: The employees themselves. They know their ambitions and inclinations best. wyrd provides the compass, the manager the reality check — but everyone has the steering wheel in their own hands. This creates personal responsibility and intrinsic motivation.

Do our leaders need coaching training now?

No, and that is the key point. Many managers shy away from development talks because they don't know exactly like. wyrd provides the structure and provides support. The manager doesn't have to invent solutions, but rather listen, open doors and check plans for feasibility. The tool makes her a coach “on the job” — without additional training.

What is “job crafting” and what does it do for us?

Instead of waiting until a new position becomes vacant, employees are proactively shaping their current role. They suggest adjustments so that the tasks are better suited to their strengths. Small changes (10-20% of tasks) are often enough to massively increase satisfaction and productivity. In wyrd, this tool is called Job Workshop.

Why is a tool called 360° Impulses (instead of feedback)?

Because feedback often sounds like a rear-view mirror and judgement. “Impulses” are future-oriented. It's about which suggestions help you take the next step. This lowers the barrier to honest peer feedback and promotes the will to grow.

Does this completely replace external training?

Not completely, but accuracy increases. Wyrd helps to find out what is really needed. External training courses are then attended in line with the development findings. This saves the budget and increases effectiveness.

Do we have time for that in day-to-day business?

Absolutely. wyrd is designed so that development happens on the job. Employees can select suitable tools for their development interview. The time investment is minimal compared to the costs of stagnating teams.

How often do development talks take place?

Away from the rigid annual cycle. We recommend shorter, topic-specific check-ins — whenever they're relevant. In this way, development remains dynamic and does not gather dust in the drawer until the end of the year.

What if the desired career move is not possible?

Plain language is then spoken. It's part of the adult dialogue. Leaders act as reality checkers. If a goal is not strategically appropriate, this is clarified. Ideally, you can then identify the needs behind this together and discuss alternatives.

Why is development & impact/performance separate?

Because assessment (clarity/review) and learning (openness/outlook) require different mindsets. We consciously separate the rooms. In this way, openness is possible in development discussions without fear of tactical disadvantages.
