The Power of Personal Interventions to Reestablish Employee Engagement Fast.
In today’s fast-paced business environment, traditional approaches to organizational development often fall short. Leaders rarely have the time to address deep-rooted issues at all levels, leaving teams struggling with disengagement and conflict. That’s where AI Serving EI’s unique “acupuncture-method” comes into play—a game-changing approach that blends consulting, coaching, and training into highly targeted personal interventions.
Why Traditional Methods Often Fall Short
Too often, organizations rely on generic solutions like consulting, coaching, or workshops. While these have their place, they often fail to address the nuanced challenges that individuals and teams face. “These approaches are typically too broad,” says Thomas Orths, founder of ‘AI serves EI’. “We’ve discovered a more effective way: working one-on-one through personal interventions that don’t fit into the category of ‘coaching’ or ‘training.’ Instead, they’re tailored, precise, and deeply transformative.”
A New Approach to Leadership and Organizational Development
Thomas Orths and his associates developed this method while working with leadership teams and shift workers in manufacturing environments plagued by disengaged employees. The disruptive behavior of actively disengaged staff was not only destroying morale but also polarizing the workforce against management.
The solution? Swift action through targeted personal interventions. Much like acupuncture, these interventions identify and resolve specific pain points within the organization. By working closely with individuals, AI Serving EI helps transform these challenges into opportunities for growth, resulting in improved morale and a more cohesive team environment.

How Personal Interventions Work
The process begins with fact-finding calls, a series of 45-minute conversations with members of the leadership team and selected individuals across departments. These calls are designed to uncover deep-seated issues and establish trust, creating an environment where individuals feel comfortable sharing their true challenges.
A key aspect of these conversations is focusing on what’s working well. “Connecting to the positive energy of what’s already successful is crucial,” says Thomas Orths. “From there, we explore how to leverage what is working well by doing more of it. Only then, we dive into what’s not working so well, identifying the root causes of disengagement and disruption.”
These calls often reveal that the initial group of participants is just the beginning. Additional key individuals are identified for further personal interventions. If necessary, even spouses or teenage children, as problems at work often cause problems at home. Tackling the root causes of personal challenges at work might require working through personal circumstances at home.
The next stage involves follow-up calls at intervals spread over 6-8 weeks to resolve all deeper issues.
The Magic of Personal Interventions
Real transformation happens through a series of personal interventions conducted by experts. These customized sessions might include techniques like Hypnotherapy, Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), or Releasing techniques. The results: individuals experience significant behavior changes. These sessions, spread over two months, lead to observable improvements because:
Participants feel genuinely listened to and understood.
They work through both professional and personal challenges.
They shift from a victim mentality to proactive contributors.
They feel valued by the organization’s investment in their growth.
This approach is not an official coaching or training program but a highly personalized series of interventions that leads to sustained improvement in individual behavior and organizational performance.
Why Personal Interventions Are the Future of Organizational Development
General employee engagement surveys and group workshops simply don’t get to the heart of the issues that individuals face. As Thomas Orths emphasizes, “No standard program can compare to the individual impact of personal interventions. This approach is about real transformation, at a deep level, leading to improvement that lasts.”
