Transforming Workplaces
Creating a culture of employee commitment and empowerment
Why Work Isn't Working
The problem organizations are facing today
-
77% of employees globally are disengaged at work, costing the global economy $8.9 trillion, or 9% of global GDP
-
47% of employees have intent to leave their current job and 17% are loud quitting (active sabotage)
-
Managers account for 70% of the variance in employee engagement. Ineffective leadership is a major contributor to disengagement
-
1 in 4 leaders report frequent burnout, and two-thirds feel it at least sometimes, with poor management increasing workplace stress by 60%
-
Workplace stress is at crisis levels, with 41% of employees experiencing high stress daily and 20% feeling lonely, particularly remote workers
How We Solve It
We empower organizations to achieve their goals by maximizing the full potential of their workforce through innovative leadership development and engagement strategies.
We design workplace strategies that enhance leadership and employee engagement at every level within your organization. This translates into in the achievement of business goals, whether it be increased profits, customer loyalty, and/or social contributions to your community.
If you have made the commitment to create a culture where your managers and employees can grow, take risks, and embrace innovation, but you do not have the internal expertise and resources to take on this immense initiative, we can help!
The Problem with Traditional Consulting
We don’t believe in the “parachute in, jet out” model. Too often, consultants deliver quick wins that don’t last. The result? Solutions that aren’t sustainable and don’t fit your organization.
Our Approach: Partnership, Not Prescriptions
At Sinogap Solutions, we take the time to understand your business and your people. We work with you—not around you—to co-create solutions that last.

We use a proven approach called The Bridge to build your organization’s capacity to solve problems and grow with purpose. Together, we strengthen your systems and align your culture with your strategy—bridging the gap between where you are and where you want to be.

Who We Work With
We work with three target audiences: Emerging Leaders, Formal Leaders, and Organizations
Emerging Leaders
An emerging leader is an individual who is either currently an individual contributor, new to a supervisory role, or considering becoming a supervisor. These leaders are in the early stages of developing their leadership skills and are beginning to take on responsibilities that involve guiding and supporting others within their organization. You want to acquire the knowledge, skills, and confidence to lead yourself and others in an empowering way. The key to unlocking your potential and discovering your true purpose is by developing your emotional intelligence.
Formal Leaders
As a formal leader you are someone in a supervisory role with direct reports, responsible for leading and overseeing a team, unit, or department within an organization. Balancing the needs of your team with the needs of your organization can be challenging at times. We are here to support you and your team through constant change and challenges. We will empower you and your team with the confidence and skills to succeed in today's shifting landscape.
Organizations
If your organization is undergoing changes such as new leadership, mergers, or structural shifts, you may need support in change and project management to ensure employee adoption of these changes. Additionally, it's crucial to assess your organizational culture to ensure that employees remain committed to your mission during these transitions.You may have established systems and processes and provide technical skill training, but you need support in maximizing the human potential across your workforce.
