Acquire and retain top industry talent
People aren’t just numbers. And for an industry in the midst of a skills shortage, your team’s most valuable asset is their engineering brain power. Through personality data and insights, Birkman can help you hire not only the best talent, but the talent that fits best within your team.
And it doesn’t end there. Birkman determines the environment that your team needs to succeed, so you can create an environment and assemble a team that won’t ever collapse. And more importantly, a team that won’t want to leave.
Improve collaboration in the engineering industry
Your team can’t unlock true innovation without the solid foundation that meaningful collaboration brings to the workplace. Collaboration is especially important in the engineering industry, where solving complex problems is a part of your team’s day-to-day tasks.
Birkman can help you craft a purpose your whole team can get behind and provide clarity around their job roles. So when the hard hats go on, your team members know exactly what to do.
Birkman helps engineers communicate more effectively
With resource constraints and deadlines to hit, your team can’t afford mistakes, delays, or internal conflict. Birkman provides your team with the blueprint for effective communication to make sure your team stays structurally sound.
By understanding each other’s communication styles, you can be confident that from the time your project breaks ground to when the final piece is set, your team is equipped to handle any obstacles put in their way together.
Reducing stress in the engineering industry
There are many things in the engineering industry that might cause stress, from tight deadlines and large workloads, to safety concerns and customer expectations. Your team needs to know how to manage it.
Birkman provides insights into what might trigger stress behaviors from team members and how it can impact the team as a whole. The result? Better team harmony, reduced burnout, and less turnover.
"We’ve found The Birkman Method to be an invaluable tool to help teams resolve internal conflicts, and to allow individuals to identify their own communication style and work through how they work best with others."
Birkman helps companies leverage personality diversity to improve communication and collaboration, manage conflict and stress, navigate challenging projects, and do better work.

Every team member has a unique communication style. And when individual styles are not understood, it can lead to inefficiency, conflict, and confusion amongst team members. These significant workplace roadblocks can prevent you from hitting deadlines on important projects.
Birkman provides insights to make team members aware of their own communication style, how it affects others in the workplace, and how to adapt their styles for others to be most effective.
Frustrations around unclear direction or expectations and the fear to speak up can stop team innovation in its tracks.
Birkman unlocks your team’s ability to collaborate effectively by creating a shared sense of purpose, ensuring clarity of job roles in every stage of your project lifestyle, and providing an environment of psychological safety where no idea is a bad idea.
When your workplace doesn’t meet the needs of team members, the result is stress, burnout, and turnover. And although stress can’t be avoided, you can equip your team to better manage it.
By uncovering the causes of stress for team members and understanding resulting behaviors, Birkman can help you provide an environment where stress is effectively managed and your team can thrive.
Your engineers face a lot of pressure to get the job done, get it done on time, and get it done right. If your engineering team isn’t at the top of their game, the result is missed deadlines and the possibility of re-work, putting a dent in your company’s wallet.
Birkman can help your team collaborate more efficiently to power performance, communicate more effectively to reduce workplace conflict, and provide an environment where all engineers can contribute to project success.
Your project managers play a vital role in making sure your project crosses the finish line successfully. Solving challenges, increasing team motivation, and making tough decisions that impact the project timeline is all in a day’s work for your project managers.
To be successful, project managers must have high levels of self-awareness to understand how their behaviors affect others, help team members to manage workplace stress, motivate team members, and provide constructive criticism in a healthy way. Birkman can give your project managers the tools to keep the team (and project) moving forward.
Your HSE team’s role is to protect human life and the environment. Considering the high stakes, it’s a job that comes with very little room for mistakes or inefficiency. And with that pressure comes the potential for workplace stress and conflict. This is where Birkman can help.
Birkman can help you complete projects safely by improving how your team communicates with one another, identifying stress triggers for team members, enhancing conflict resolution, and managing stress when it arises.
Your company’s success comes down to your people and their expertise. With the current skills gap in the engineering industry, your organization can’t afford to lose top talent. It’s vital that your team acquires the best talent, ensures they’re a good fit, and retains them for the long haul.
Birkman can help you hire the right person on the right team and provide them with an environment where their needs are met – avoiding workplace stress and reducing turnover. And with a talent development plan for each employee, you can ensure your company is in good hands for the future.

Yes, The Birkman Method assessment is valid. The assessment's content covers the intended construct domains of interest through research-based development, ensuring content validity. It demonstrates its face validity through the subjective evaluation of the constructs measured by its respondents. Additionally, the assessment demonstrates convergent construct validity and divergent construct validity, respectively, by positively correlating with similar measures and negatively correlating with measures of unrelated constructs. Lastly, The Birkman Method has criterion-related validity through established relationships with various work-related outcomes, such as job performance, career satisfaction, leadership effectiveness, and team dynamics. These five types of validity together establish the assessment's overall validity.
