Supporting Talent
HiR collaborates with organisations of all sizes to foster collaboration, nurture leadership, and build vibrant, high-performing teams. This approach not only elevates performance and engagement but also promotes overall well-being.
"Imagine your whole team or organisation - all understanding their strengths and being informed and energised about the strengths of those around them. It’s powerful and is a proven way of getting bigger, better results, evolving strategy and increasing employee engagement, connection and well-being"

Strengths Profiling for Organisations
At HiR, we make strengths profiling quick, simple, and impactful for individuals, teams, and entire organisations. Whether assessing existing employees or potential hires, each person receives a unique post-assessment report and a 90-minute one-on-one debrief with an accredited strengths practitioner.
We also offer leadership reports, team profiles, and dynamic workshops to help teams embed their learnings and develop strategies to maximise their strengths.

Elevate Program
Take your team to a higher place.
Ready to take your team's performance, engagement, and well-being to the next level?
Our Elevate Program is designed for leaders, SME owners, not-for-profits and community organisations to make an impact quickly.
30% Uplift in Team Performance in 90 days - GUARANTEED.
Like all HiR's programs, it starts with a Strengths Profile assessment for all the program participants - this is typically the Leadership team, a specific Agile team, a department or a project-focused team.
Each Participant receives an insightful 60-minute debrief session diving into their personalised Strengths Profile Expert report with a fully accredited Strengths Practitioner (SP).
Here's what they'll discover:
Top 7 Realised Strengths
Top 7 Unrealised Strengths
4 Learned Behaviors
3 Areas for Growth
Our accredited SP practitioner will guide them through it all, providing actionable advice to help them unleash their full potential, primarily focusing on those unrealised strengths.
Each participant receives at least two 60-minute individual coaching sessions to fully understand and leverage what they learned during the debrief.
The Elevate Program also includes three team sessions to understand how everyone contributes to the whole and where the whole team has the potential to unlock collective unrealised strengths and work in more harmony. Understanding each other from a Strengths perspective will level up engagement, productivity, and well-being, as each person will deeply understand who each other is and what strength they bring to the team.
The post-program support includes accountability checks and ongoing email/WhatsApp support for 90 days.

Recruitment
Are you looking to build out or replace talent?
We help with discreet yet full-service recruitment or can act as a consultant to support specific stages of the process, leveraging the power of Strengths to drive your organisation forward.
Are you working within an organisation committed to a more diverse workforce?
But not getting the variety of applicants from your campaigns you'd like or carry through from your recruitment processes to hiring outcomes to achieve your diversity and inclusion goals?
We help on a project basis to ensure you are not missing out on the benefits of having the strongest talent in your workplace.

100% Money Back Guarantee
At the end of your program, you and your Coach will review the results achieved. If your original expectations have not been met, you are entitled to a full refund for the program's cost, minus the third-party costs of Strengths Profile assessments or HiR will work with you until the results are fully achieved.
It’s important to remember that coaching is not a done-for-you service. If you want higher levels of performance, to see a significant change in your career and life, higher sales results, increased productivity, and stronger teamwork and collaboration, you and your team must put the work in.
If, at any stage during your program, your Coach does not feel that you and your team, in the case of group programs, are putting in the necessary effort and action to achieve the goals set, you will be given a warning and a choice of two weeks notice to improve or receive an immediate refund. If the commitment, effort, and action have stayed the same at the end of the two weeks, HiR reserves the right to fully refund without fault.
The refund offer excludes Starter Program, custom programs, on-demand sessions and consulting; in the case of dissatisfaction with these services HiR will co-create a fair solution with the client.
