Leadbacker

“Great leaders do not create followers; they create more leaders.” – Tom Peters.

Leaders breed leaders by activating leadership in every cell of an organisation, inspiring future role models.

Building on this insight, Leadbacker was built-to-purpose and creates a cycle of people development and personalised growth that powers people performance and enterprise success.

Leadbacker promotes employee engagement, growth, and improved performance by supporting and challenging managers on all levels in every facet of their learning with structured, digital feedback workflows, OKRs, mentoring, and knowledge services.

The firm leverages this with AI enabling personal development plans and improvement actions, tailored to the individual front-line leader.

It’s no secret that AI is making its way into workspaces. Employers are leveraging it to unleash their unique leadership DNA, build a corporate feedback- and learning culture and effective leadership dialogues while improving employee experience. Besides, AI integration into human resources practices improves organisations as these applications can analyse, predict, and diagnose to assist HR teams in making better decisions.

How does Leadbacker promote employee engagement, growth, and improved performance?

The leading AI-powered people development platform makes feedback, learning loops, and individual growth fast, easy, and unbiased.

Dr. Norbert Hoelzl, CEO and Founder of Leadbacker, believes empowering employees with professional autonomy in the workplace contributes to their personal growth. Leadbacker supports organisations individually with end-to-end employee experience and sensor technology to mobilise teams, reduce turnover rates, and develop key workforce.

Leadbacker, as its name implies, is a backup for an individual’s leadership abilities as listeners, companions, data jugglers, implementers, coaches, and trusted advisors. It provides data for individual coaching of people and teams, enhancing loyalty and employer brand awareness, thus developing enterprise productivity and profitability.

The built-to-purpose solution has been co-created from day one with corporations, academia, and users like real-life leaders and managers.

Leadbacker has design edits workflows and features to build tomorrow’s talents and organisations. A flexible and modular platform boosts people mobilisation, improves accountability comprehension, and enables people to be aligned with the organisation’s mission.

Engaged employees significantly impact an organisation’s sustainability as they stay with the company longer, have a higher output rate, and are more satisfied. While Leadbacker is capable of quantifying a mere qualitative component, the business intends to gauge also true quantitative ratios, like a range of indices, such as an engagement index, diversity index, leadership index or a change readiness index which measures how stakeholders regard towards such vital facets of organization health.

In addition, a ROI calculator helps companies calculate the economic benefits of using Leadbacker.

Using feedback, coaches, and reverse mentoring, firms can extend their horizon, develop a steeper learning curve, and work on their people transformation journey. For instance, Dr. Hoelzl cites a standard calculation case study where Leadbacker looked at a company with 5000 people, 500 managers, and an attrition rate of 5 percent. The customer could save 250,000 euros in hiring costs annually with improved employee retention.

“Utilising the ROI calculator, top managers see a clear roadmap connecting Leadbacker roll-out with bottom-line impact,” says Dr. Hoelzl.

In a nutshell, Leadbacker positively impacts clients’ bottom lines and drives people’s productivity while ensuring the satisfaction of HR teams. During the initial proof-of-concept phase, Leadbacker deploys value-based advisory services that help its clients to custom-build best practices and default methods for implementing their digital automated workflows for people development.

Leadbacker collaborates with leading European universities in Switzerland and Austria. In conjunction with researchers, it develops qualified new practices, that aid in quantifying previously qualitative elements of measurement such as engagement, diversity, leadership impact, or change readiness. Looking at those categories repeatedly over time, Leadbacker correlates and cross-refers with specific leadership skills. As a result, clients understand and explore engagement level of teams and leadership impact.

Leadbacker offers a two-fold impact, bottom-up and top-down. It is engaging individuals to corporate missions by offering them recognition, a free voice and careful listening by management. On the other hand, it creates a transparent impact on people-driven KPIs that propel bottom-line figures. Leadbacker’s differentiation factors— money, time, and built-to-purpose—enables it to take on conventional industry leaders. Finally, its purpose-driven pricing supports to bring leadership to the front lines of each business.
