Team performance makes or breaks organizational bottom-line results.
Birkman sets the stage for teams to do their most meaningful work – and drive the most meaningful business outcomes.
Focus the performance potential of your team through lens of personality
We all have different communication styles and perspectives. But sometimes, those differences can lead to conflicts and confusion. If team members don’t know the impact of their behaviors, it’s almost impossible to effectively collaborate.
Birkman personality insights can remove those obstacles to performance, turn those differences to your collective advantage, and create an open, connected culture united by purpose.
Improve communication and reduce conflict
Enable productive communication that reduces unhealthy team conflict
Trust between colleagues is won and lost on communication, and it’s the cause of significant workplace conflicts. But most teams don’t have the tools to understand how to best communicate with those around them.
By improving awareness of communication styles, Birkman helps team members understand each other’s strengths and preferences to adapt communication styles when needed – and avoid potential conflict.
Team collaboration
Foster meaningful team collaboration that brings the best ideas forward
Collaboration is the lifeblood of team performance. When challenges and opportunities arise, the sharing of ideas is what determines how to best tackle them and propel team performance.
Birkman highlights how variations in personalities and perspectives can be transformed into valuable building blocks for any team to ignite innovation and align on forward direction.
PSYCHOLOGICAL SAFETY
Build a space where innovation thrives
The road to innovation is paved with calculated risks – and usually some mistakes. That’s why it’s critical to create an environment of psychological safety where team members can share ideas without the fear of judgment and criticism.
With Birkman insights, leaders discover how to create the trust teams need to voice concerns and say what needs to be said to keep projects moving successfully.
ENGAGEMENT
Keep teams engaged and motivated so they can bring their best efforts to the table
Team performance always suffers when employees become disengaged or simply find no joy in their day to day responsibilities.
By understanding your team members’ unique workplace needs and interests, you have the means to keep them engaged and aligned not only with their daily tasks, but with the team and organizational goals.
Let Birkman put collaboration into overdrive
With dynamic teamwork, anything is possible. We’ll show you how.
Ignite performance
Go from teams that perform to high-performing teams
Identify employee strengths to create a team greater than the sum of its parts
Every person on your team has strengths that enable them to uniquely contribute to team performance.
Uncover those strengths with Birkman insights to keep employees engaged by doing something they’re good at – and that helps the team work most productively.
Pinpoint the communication styles and needs of team members
Once you understand the impact of individual communication styles and how each team member prefers to be spoken to, you go far towards creating trust and avoiding conflict.
Birkman insights provide guidance on how teams can best frame communication so it brings them together and performing rather than divided and floundering.
Discover what each employee needs to avoid stress and perform at their best
It’s easy to see how people show up every day, but it’s difficult to know what they need from their workplace to avoid stress that impacts their productivity.
By understanding the preferences and well-being of your team members, you’ll help them avoid burnout and be poised to most positively impact team performance.
Rally teams around a purpose that propels performance
A team that doesn’t know its purpose is already at a deficit when it comes to meaningful performance.
Birkman solutions help you connect those dots to create a more cohesive and engaged team where everyone is working towards a common vision.

The performance of your team rests on your shoulders, and that weight is rarely easy to carry.
Identify and eliminate the conflicts that block your path to team performance. Personality assessments can also identify potential conflicts as well as opportunities for growth and development within the team.
Cross-Functional Teams
Understanding personality traits and work preferences will help you build stronger and more productive relationships. We’ll help you uncover individual workplace needs and reveal how communication styles impact the rest of the team.
Individual Contributors
No employee can perform at their best if they’re not leveraging their strengths, having their workplace needs met, and performing tasks that motivate them.
Birkman insights help each employee better understand themselves so they can better contribute to team performance.
