You’ve probably heard the cliché—play to your strengths. Are you doing all you can as a leader to ensure your employees are thriving? When employees discover and leverage their natural talents or strengths, it can transform the way they work and live! And, when leaders understand the unique contributions of each team member, they can assign roles and responsibilities that will align with employees’ individual talents to create a culture where everyone thrives. Gallup’s CliftonStrengths is a powerful assessment tool that helps individuals and teams unlock their potential by identifying their top talents.
One significant benefit of CliftonStrengths assessments is a mindset shift—to focus on your strengths not on weaknesses. Research shows when employees use their strengths they are six times more likely to be engaged at work. Teams that embrace a strengths-based approach will see a definite improvement in their business outcomes.
According to Gallup, workgroups that receive strengths-based development have achieved:
-
- 19% increased sales
- 29% increased profits
- 59% fewer safety incidents
- 72% lower turnover (in high-turnover organizations)
Have you taken a StrengthsFinder Assessment?
Whether you're an individual seeking clarity about your natural talents or a leader looking to unlock your entire team’s potential, CliftonStrengths offers an assessment tool to start this journey and see how focusing on what one does best can lead to extraordinary results.
Upon completion of the assessment, you gain insight into your Top 5 Signature Strengths, the traits that define how you naturally think, feel, and act. These strengths represent the unique ways in which you bring value to your work, relationships, and personal goals.
Team Building Benefits
Beyond personal growth, CliftonStrengths can be a game changer for teams. When everyone understands their strengths and those of their colleagues, a new language of collaboration, recognition and appreciation is created. This enhances communication and fosters a culture where individuals feel valued for their contributions which can be a critical differentiator for success.
