Rhonda will be presenting on: Bridging Business and People Strategy through Behavioral Insights-Leveraging Predictive Index

Brief Summary/Synopsis:

In an era where workforce dynamics directly impact business outcomes, aligning business strategy with people strategy is critical across all sectors. This presentation will explore how Predictive Index’s Behavioral Assessment (BA) provides HR leaders with powerful insights to support strategic decision-making. By understanding team behaviors and natural strengths, HR professionals can make informed decisions about team composition, role alignment, and organizational culture, directly influencing engagement, retention, and performance. 

Each participant will receive a complimentary BA, allowing them to experience how behavioral insights can drive alignment between people and organizational goals. We will walk through real-world applications, demonstrating how using Predictive Index can help organizations across industries build resilient, engaged, and productive teams. 

We have six different presentations that support HR. We firmly believe HR is the connection between people and the organization.

Key Learning Objectives 

1. Discover the Role of Behavioral Data in Aligning People and Business Strategy: Participants will learn how Predictive Index’s BA reveals critical insights into individual and team behaviors, allowing HR leaders to strategically align workforce capabilities with organizational objectives.

2. Develop Skills in Applying BA Results to Workforce Planning: Attendees will gain practical knowledge on interpreting BA data for hiring, team-building, and role alignment, ensuring that each employee’s natural strengths support the organization’s goals and values.

3. Understand How Behavioral Insights Enhance Engagement and Retention:  Using BA insights, participants will explore ways to boost engagement and reduce turnover by aligning employees with roles that match their behavioral profiles, fostering a culture that supports growth, and building cohesive, goal-oriented teams.

This approach gives HR leaders actionable strategies they can apply immediately, regardless of their industry. By providing real-world applications and a complimentary BA experience, this session emphasizes The People Centered Organization’s expertise in using data-driven insights to bridge business and people strategy, offering attendees valuable tools to meet today’s workforce challenges.
