Building a Strengths-Based Organization

Course Details

For decades, organizations have focused the efforts on employees on “fixing” their weaknesses. This focused effort, though well-intentioned, has been largely unsuccessful. Now, progressive organizations are increasingly focused on fostering a strengths-based culture in which employees work collaboratively with their managers to identify, develop, and apply their strengths in the workplace.

In this workshop, we will discuss a new concept for defining and identifying “strengths.” We will also explore strategies for leveraging employee strengths in the workplace, which can empower employees and create a more productive organization that fully utilizes its human talent.
