Birkman helps team communication
In a fast-paced working environment with tight deadlines, innovation and problem-solving depend on effective team communication.
Companies everywhere are trying to crack the communication code, but many communication issues come down to one thing – personality differences.
Birkman helps team members understand the impact of their unique communication style, and how to meet the communication needs of others. When communication obstacles are removed, teams can focus on the results that bring clients back.
How Birkman helps team collaboration
Collaboration is the foundation of creativity, innovation, and out-of-the-box thinking, all important factors when providing a professional service. And it can be a big difference maker in a team’s success or failure.
Birkman can help your team collaborate more effectively by creating a shared purpose, ensuring role clarity, and fostering a culture of psychological safety.
How Birkman helps reduce employee stress
Your team members have unspoken needs for the environment they work in. If their needs aren’t met, the result is workplace stress, leading to a decrease in job satisfaction, engagement, and productivity.
When employees get burned out and quit, they take their skills and knowledge with them. Birkman insights help you meet individual needs so you can keep your employees where they belong – on your team.
"We’ve been using Birkman in the firm for over twelve years. Every new hire from the position of manager and above is required to complete a Birkman profile. The benefits the firm has received in terms of mentoring, coaching, and team building with Birkman has been tremendous."
Over the last two decades, I’ve helped more than 3,000 high school students and young adults navigate their post high-school path by Birkman.
By uncovering their own unique wiring, I show them how to translate those strengths and passions into a fulfilling career as we work through their college counseling.
The Birkman is the gold standard of behavioral assessments. I consider it the DiSC on steroids. At our firm, we use Birkman for one-on-one coaching, leadership training, and team-based activities.
"A data-driven workplace assessment that enables people to identify and discard long-held negative assumptions about job and career success. It also provides a lens through which managers and supervisors can challenge stereotypes about who can or can’t add value to a team or an organization."
