• Organizations are increasingly distancing
  themselves from the view that the people working
  for them all think alike and are motivated by the
  same things. Organizations that leverage their
  employees strengths experience greater success
  when compared to those that focus solely on
  training to address employees shortcomings or
  that implement a one-size-fits-all approach to
  employee development. Here is why The provision
  of training with the intention of bolstering
  strengths as opposed to eliminating weaknesses
  takes into account that
• The provision of training with the intention of
  bolstering strengths as opposed to eliminating
  weaknesses takes into account that people are
  different in their abilities, interests, and
  motivations.
• This strategy acknowledges that traditional
  hiring practices typically focused, erroneously,
  on so-called well-rounded candidates, instead of
  candidates who show massive potential in certain
  areas that are possibly complementary to the
  strengths of existing employees as well as the
  business own goals, values, and strategies.

What happens when employees strengths determine
their training (and role in the business)?

• According to a study by Gallup covered by the
  Harvard Business Review in 2016, people who use
  their strengths more often than skills they are
  not as confident in, report feeling happy and
  well-rested with overall improved life- and work
  satisfaction, and were found to be almost six
  times more productive than their counterparts.
  The research attempted to understand the effects
  of strength-related employee interventions (such
  as strengths-based developmental coaching) on
  workgroup performance. The following are the most
  impressive results obtained by 90 of the
  workgroups who received strength-based
  interventions
• 22-59 decrease in safety incidents
• 14-29 increase in profit
• 10-19 increase in sales
• 9-15 increase in employee engagement.

• Above and beyond the direct benefits experienced
  by businesses implementing strength-focused
  employee interventions, affected business teams
  generally experience greater cohesion through
  complimenting each others strengths, employees
  feel valued and like their contributions matter
  in the greater scheme of things, and this, in
  turn, contributes to a healthy work environment
  and employee loyalty.
