Personal Mapping, also used as an icebreaker dynamic, increases team synergy and empathy.
Your goal is to bridge the gap between people, which may seem simple enough, but has a powerful effect.
At this moment where remote work is strongly present, it is important to work on relationships between team members. For that this tool will help in a very easy way!
How does Personal Mapping work?
The idea is to build a mental map with the personal information of each member, such as family, education, work, hobbies, values, friends, goals, among others.
In the image below you can see an example of the practice inside beefor :
This information will be available to everyone on the team and can serve as common topics (hence the icebreaker).
This dynamic also enables communication and proximity between people. Well, it inserts trivial matters that could be brought up in a moment of coffee break in the company. But without the need to be present in the same physical space.
How to associate with 1:1 Feedback (one-on-one)
The Personal Map technique can combine with the practice of 1:1 Feedback . Similarly, it contributes to the clarity of the person’s personal and professional goals. So that at each meeting you can follow the progress of each step taken towards what you want to accomplish.
In addition to asking questions about how your family is doing, the progress of college or a certification that the professional aims to achieve, among other issues that help the manager to get closer and closer to the team member.
How practice helps Agile HR
with beefor, we can track all employees digitally. Whatever aspects:
- Performance;
- Humor;
- Skills;
- motivations;
- Records of each 1-on-1 meeting.
With each creation of Personal Mapping with a collaborator, it shows that each person has a different profile from the other. However, some are more introverted and others are more easily able to communicate and relate. In this way, promoting this challenge to the professional makes them provide self-knowledge and access some important issues that often go unnoticed.
How Personal Mapping helps the manager
Personal Mapping is a great tool for onboarding a new team member. But in addition to all this, it makes the manager himself get closer to the employee. In this way, it contributes to a holistic view of each employee:
- Curiosities;
- Family;
- Formation;
- Personality;
- skills;
- Dreams/Goal.
In this way, with this information, the leader can promote actions so that he can motivate and encourage him to live and perform them.
In beefor, in addition to the manager, all team members have a vision of the personal mapping of each member.
