Talent Optimization

The Talent Canvas

Discover and hire right-fit talent, maximize individual performance and strengthen teamwork by leveraging a three parts of the mind approach to people within your organization. Engage talent in experiences that increase confidence, improve communication and enable new strategies for individual performance and team effectiveness.

Hire Right-Fit Talent

Bring clarity to what your open role truly requires for success and get hands-on support with talent sourcing, communications, screening, evaluation and selection of a candidate that is aligned with your organization’s unique culture and the functional requirements of the role.

Maximize Individual Performance

Identify and enable new strategies for individual performance. Whether through introducing communication tools at a team or organization-level, or engaging in 1:1 leadership coaching, we engage employees in uncovering natural strengths, finding confidence and unlocking potential. 

Strengthen Team Effectiveness

High-performing teams thrive on effective communication, conflict resolution, and leveraging diverse talents. Gain a comprehensive understanding of your team’s capabilities and conative culture to enhance synergy, build stronger relationships, and drive performance.

The Kolbe System™

The humanworks8 team of Kolbe Certified™ Consultants leverages The Kolbe System to understand the conative part of one’s mind. The Kolbe A™ Index measures an individual’s instinctive strengths for problem solving and is a tool we use to add value to individual coaching and team engagements.

Client Success

The Wellness Council of Wisconsin (WCWI) has benefited immensely from the consultative partnership and innovative services of humanworks8. As a non-profit organization, WCWI has worked through many strategic organizational changes in the last five years, and gratefully we’ve had humanworks8 as a consulting partner to support our process to successfully hire three new staff members using their expertise in the Kolbe Index and their RightFit Process. Sarah and Rebecca felt like an extension of my team as they supported me in exploring our needs and formed the best case scenarios for building the team. They provided assessment data, thorough and actionable debriefs, and thoughtful, objective insight that ultimately brought our organization three staff members that are truly the “right fit” for their roles, our staff team, and the mission-driven work of WCWI. And their service was timely, responses were prompt, and they were a pleasure to work with. The use of the Kolbe A Index, with the guidance of humanworks8, has given WCWI a new, actionable perspective on the instinctive strengths and needs of our team and WCWI’s Board of Directors so that we can continue to strive toward optimal operations and team synergy.
