Philippe Hebeisen, CEO, Vaudoise Assurances:

A service company needs to be more agile than ever before if it is to rise to the challenges the future holds. Such factors as the digital revolution and the advent of new market players and business models are making the soundness and reliability of an enterprise’s human capital increasingly important. Our employees are the primary resource of our insurance company. Their ability to thrive in areas that are changing more rapidly than in previous decades is a vital factor for the future success of the enterprise. Investing in their personal development means giving them the tools to manage new situations without excessive stress, while ensuring that our core business functions harmoniously.

We have called on LP3 to help us bring about this development by training all executives with a leadership mission, from team leaders to board members. Our managerial staff includes many young employees who have not necessarily followed courses in leadership and senior executives who are applying a whole range of methods picked up in the course of their careers. The goal of the LP3 training is to ensure they all speak the same language when it comes to leadership, based on a common and consistent understanding.

Getting managers together to work on their vision, values, status as role models, presence, employee development and management, communication, fairness, professional expertise and organization is an excellent way of strengthening their cohesion and their confidence in themselves and the enterprise. This approach creates a positive dynamic and improves team work.

As a method, LP3 provides practical, relevant tools not only for coping with day-to-day challenges, but also for preparing to face future challenges with confidence. The approach is simple. It is enjoyable and stimulating. It boosts employees’ job satisfaction and accords in every way with the humane and friendly way in which we seek to operate.
