A high growth professional services firm disrupting the market with a focus on startups and scale ups. With no significant HR leader or platform they felt aligned to Humanico and felt the offering would suit them especially at this time of growth.
What
Growing at pace, with three business units at different stages of maturity they were looking for a sustainable framework to understand and optimise their people. To build on an already existing celebrated culture to ensure stickiness of their current employees, attract the best talent as they grow and to be able to introduce effective cross functional opportunities across the business.
How
The diverse stakeholder group were engaged, curious but also were keen for our expertise and insights to ensure maximum success. This group went above and beyond truly embracing the nature of the Humanico experience, from the curated narrative and combined communications plan, through to putting aside half a day of growth and learning for their people to undertake the initial engagement.
Results
This company has set the benchmark for future Humanico engagements with a 100% participation. Furthermore we have seen incredible adoption of the strengths based approach from all employees and the subsequent self and group learning they are undertaking.
In the absence of other HR tools, they now have a framework of how their people naturally think, feel and behave, providing immediate opportunities in relation to learning and development and curating optimal cross functional teams
Impressive diversity of natural talent and gender across the group, however with 85% of employees 30 years old and under, this was identified as a major risk but also an opportunity to address as they continue to grow and scale
A well balanced and highly driven leadership team with the ability to design an effective strategy but also execute on it, drawing on their diverse natural talents
Tangible thematic results within the qual data providing an opportunity to leverage the high communication talent within the group in reinforcing their culture
Creation of a sustainable model moving forwards with all new joiners added monthly as part of the ongoing onboarding process
