4 hours

Overview

Strengths-Based Development is based on extensive research of organizations that have successfully unleashed human potential to drive bottom-line performance. The key finding is – when there is a
deliberative focus on identifying, developing, and leveraging strengths versus fixing weaknesses, individual and organizational productivity can increase. In addition, the research conducted by the
Gallup Organization shows that employees who feel that their strengths are being used every day are:

• 38% more likely to work in more productive business units
• 44% more likely to have higher Customer Satisfaction scores
• 50% more likely to work in business units with lower employee turnover

In fact, employees who say they are able to use their strengths every day are SIX TIMES more likely to be engaged in their jobs.
