5. EMPLOYEE
MOTIVATION
Are your employees
as motivated as
they could be?
In today’s fast-paced business world, having motivated and engaged
employees is a necessity, yet, according to Gallup, 85% of employees
are disengaged.
This is no small issue. Employees who are disengaged are psychologically unattached to
their work and cost employers almost 35% of their salary through lost productivity, lack of
motivation, chronic tardiness, toxic emotional contamination, and a host of other negative
behaviors.
1. We ethically apply
behavioral science to
diagnose complex
motivational problems,
understand the underlying
human drives, and tap into
those drives to increase
employee engagement.
3. We get your employees
excited about coming to work,
motivated to make that extra
sales call, enthusiastic to
enhance the business, and to
feel psychological ownership for
both their individual success and
the success of the business.
2. We use these
insights to help you
design better reward
programs, communicate
to your employees, and
train your leaders.

6. CORPORATE
CULTURE
Is your culture
holding your business
back?
1. We ethically apply
behavioral science to
diagnose your cultural
needs and design custom
programs that make that
culture a reality.
3. These reshaped cultures will
positively influence the way your
people interact, how they
behave, how knowledge is
shared, and how people embrace
strategy and their own
willingness to change.
2. We help mend broken
cultures, establish positive
new cultures, or create
cultures for your unique
environmental needs (i.e.
safety).
Culture is the social fabric of your organization and it guides the
behaviors and attitudes of your employees. If it is positive, it can
lead your company to great heights.
If it is toxic, it will sideline even the best strategy and programs that you put in place. A
study by Russell Johnson at the University of Michigan found that bad culture on average
costs companies around $14,000 per employee due to lost productivity.

7. ORGANIZATIONAL
FRICTION
Are environmental or
social barriers limiting
your employees’
performance?
1. We ethically apply
behavioral science to
diagnose the friction points
inside your organization
and the impact that they
have on productivity.
3. We help you find those
convoluted, time wasting,
complexity adding processes,
behaviors and systems that keep
your workforce from maximizing
its potential. We look at and help
solve these key points that drag
your organization down when it
needs to speed up.
2. We use these insights
to help you remove the
friction points that create
barriers to positive
behaviors or design new
friction points that stop
negative behaviors.
Knowledge workers spend over 80% of their time in meetings and
responding to requests.
The average time an employee works before being interrupted is around 12-minutes. For
an average company, each email that is sent costs roughly a dollar in labor costs – a
midsize firm can easily spend over $1 million dollars a year, just in email. Each of these
factors are considered “friction” and they have a cost to them. They reduce employee
productivity, increase their stress level, lead to disengagement and increase turnover –
inevitably costing your organization money.
