Hallandstrafiken

Long-term work gave Hallandstrafiken a more efficient organisation and a stronger sense of togetherness.

Together with YesP, Hallandstrafiken has taken its operations to the next level. "Their expertise in organisational culture and how YesP links it to our business makes them uniquely good. They are responsive to our needs and ensure that we take responsibility," says Susanne Isacson, HR Manager at Hallandstrafiken.

Hallandstrafiken CEO Andreas Almquist saw great potential for better leadership and performance culture in the company. Problems with completing projects, lack of trust and internal cooperation difficulties made it challenging to live up to the vision "The world's best public transport - for the people of Halland". Hallandstrafiken wanted support in successfully implementing the extensive changes in 2020.

How did YesP's mission work?

YesP's consultants first carried out a Denison cultural analysis of the whole organisation. Several areas were identified where the culture needed to be strengthened. We proposed a long-term and sustained effort where we set clear objectives, introduced follow-up and management by objectives, and ensured job satisfaction in the management team. The focus was on resolving fear of conflict, working more together and establishing goal management and goal decomposition.

Hallandstrafiken's managers have also received individual coaching, and the management team has worked with:

  • Common leadership criteria
  • Objectives, target setting and monitoring
  • Strategy and priorities
  • Customer focus
  • Change management
  • Delegation
  • Conflict management
  • The importance of appreciation and security

"YesP is uniquely sharp in method and expertise while being warm and human. They are passionate about us and about bringing about change and a better culture. It is real and honest."
