The Harvard Business Review Study
The study examined the effects those interventions had on workgroup performance. It included 49,495 business units with 1.2 million employees across 22 organizations in seven industries and 45 countries. Gallup focused on six outcomes: sales, profit, customer engagement, turnover, employee engagement, and safety.
On average, workgroups that received a strengths intervention improved on all of these measures by a significant amount compared with control groups that received less-intensive interventions or none at all. Ninety percent of the workgroups that implemented a strengths intervention of any magnitude saw performance increases at or above the ranges shown below. Even at the low end, these are impressive gains.
All team members of IndigoStone are Gallup Certified Strengths Coaches who completed the basic and advanced courses. Further, we have a combined 20+ years of experience in helping organizations shift to a Strengths Based culture and leadership methodology.
