Products and Services
humanworks8 provides custom talent, strategy, and culture solutions that align with your organization’s unique values and result in lasting, authentic cultures, exceptional leaders, and excellent places to work. We build solutions that recognize eight universal truths about people, and these truths translate to eight organizational disciplines:
- Everyone’s Unique – Talent Discovery
- Everyone Believes – Strategic Planning
- Everyone Connects – Teamwork
- Everyone Contributes – Communication
- Everyone Rises – Performance Management
- Everyone Learns – Leadership Development
- Everyone Thrives – Transition & Change
- Everyone Matters – Belonging
While we provide services in each of these 8 areas, we have found the following four services are the best starting places for our client relationships:
- Our Talent Discovery service utilizes our unique expertise and certification in Kolbe Wisdom™ and Kolbe RightFit™ to get the right talent in the right roles performing their best. This addresses the challenges of ineffective or inefficient talent acquisition processes, high turnover and critical or difficult-to-fill roles.
- Our Strategic Planning service clarifies and defines an organization’s vision. It also gives teams a system of operating disciplines to execute that vision through a “living” plan of action. In addition, we elevate or author organizational core values and incorporate them into the people touchpoints of a business to fortify and operationalize their cultural foundation. This service addresses “lifeless” strategic plans, the disconnection between vision and action across an organization as well as misalignment of priorities and counterproductive efforts in a team’s daily execution. Elevating core values addresses the challenge of missing, inauthentic, negative or divided workplace culture.
- Our Performance Management service redirects and strengthens the personal and professional performance of each team member, addressing the challenge of below expectation productivity from individuals or teams.
- Our Leadership Development service strengthens confidence and grows capabilities for critical leadership moments encountered by every manager. This addresses the challenges of inexperienced and/or ineffective managers, as well as managers who are not growing in their role.
