Using Assessments to Design High-Performing Teams

This is THE blueprint to people and how they like to operate. Knowing this, you can create high-performing teams with great synergy and exceptional performance.
— Amy Riccardi, Chief People Officer

Start with Individual Strengths

Knowing your employee’s innate strengths is the new super power of 2022 and beyond. By focusing in on these unique traits, leaders can gain significant competitive advantage and help reduce turnover and burnout in their organizations.

In 2022, a “Great Reset” is happening. Employees have more options than ever before. They can easily change careers, locations, employers, or hours. Replacing employees is costly and very challenging. Our Strengths-Based Design platform starts with knowing your employees, teams, and organization at a deeper level. It helps you create a more engaged workforce by ensuring

  • work is aligned with individual strengths

  • that teams are efficient and effective

  • recruiting effectiveness increases by 86%

When employees and their supervisors know each other’s strengths, people understand each other better, connect on a deeper level, and help build a strong fabric for employee engagement.

Our Suite of Tools

Each organization can leverage the brilliance of our suite of tools and gain deep insight into the innate strengths of individuals, teams, and even prospective employees!
Based on your unique set of issues, we can help craft an engagement with the right blend of tools that get fast results. We like to start engagements by using the Kolbe Suite of tools and then adding in others, like the CliftonStrengths (formerly StrengthsFinder), to further enhance results. Assessment tools have specific traits they measure, so let us help you find the right tools that get you the results you’re looking for.

Individual Assessments

It all begins with understanding individuals at their most innate level. Our proven, EEO-validated assessments take 15-20 minutes to complete and provide individuals with a 20+ page customized report with:

  • Their four unique strengths

  • How they innately take action and make decisions when left to their own devices

  • How they like to communicate

  • Coaching tips on how to effective leverage their strengths

Team Design

Typically teams are formed with functional expertise in mind, but what if we could design teams for maximum synergy and efficiency too? What if you could theoretically design a team to see the impact adding or removing members will have? With our suite of team tools you can!

We aggregate individual assessment results through algorithms to provide a profile for teams and accurately predict their synergy and effectiveness. We can also use the results to predict the effectiveness of new teams before they are formalized.

Recruiting & Hiring

Have you ever hired a great candidate with a fantastic resume and great interviews, only to find that they didn’t fit into the organization? Our recruiting and hiring process and tools can help you improve your hiring odds by 86%.

As only one of a few EEO-validated assessments that can be used in the hiring process, we can help create the right conative profile for a position and leverage our assessments with candidates to find the perfect candidate for your position.
