Our Mission
EmployInsight was founded with the mission to enable organizations to build engaged workforces and to allow individuals to better understand their strengths. EmployInsight helps organizations quantify, measure, and unlock psychological, emotional, and cognitive resources. By capturing, assessing and planning these resources in the workplace, companies can ensure that people are engaged in work they love. This can be utilized in hiring, performance management, organizational development, and beyond. EmployInsight’s platform is also used by individuals who want to better understand their strengths and how to most effectively apply themselves in their work. People are more than their resume, and EmployInsight allows individuals and organizations to quantify these soft skills.
