Adshel operates Australia and New Zealand’s most successful street furniture advertising business.
Though profitable, real cultural issues existed. The key to Adshel’s transformation was the CEO, Directors and staff working together to create one of the most significant cultural shifts yet documented by Human Synergistics.
The shift away from aggressive short-term behaviours further drove double digit EBIT growth as sales managers focused more on Achievement and doing only profitable deals. Improved employee satisfaction led to greater retention of Gen Y staff and their advocacy of Adshel – ‘We love this company’.
