Muzquiz continued, "Collectively, our award recipients leveraged talent optimization to achieve an average retention rate of 88%, develop sound talent strategies to increase revenue, foster better internal communication, compete in the war for talent by scaling internal promotions, and markedly improve customer experience scores."

Envision Bank Back in the Black with PI

"Envision Bank has significantly evolved over the last three years, merging two entities and taking our company public," said James P. McDonough, President & CEO at Envision Bank. "The Predictive Index has been a key component in our transition, helping us break down silos, enhance cooperation, improve business results, and increase job engagement." Envision Bank returned to profitability and saw an increase in deposits as well as growth in their residential lending department by optimizing talent with The Predictive Index.

Daniels Health Increases Overall Employee Engagement with PI

"We started out simply needing a better system to recruit, but something beautiful happened along the way," said Jude Duff, Chief People Officer at Daniels Health North America. "We realized that we could do more than just recruit, we could optimize our existing talent and use a ?recruitment assessment' for far greater impact?we could engage and inspire, we could build relationships, and recognize both strengths and weaknesses. We could build teams capable of fulfilling our vision for the future."

SproutLoud Media Reduces Turnover by 10%, Doubles Employee Experience Score with PI

"Talent optimization isn't just about selecting the right employees, it's also about helping each employee understand how critical they are to the success of the company," said Bill Cronic, VP of People & Organizational Development at SproutLoud Media Networks. "We utilize The Predictive Index to help us identify the strengths of our people. We believe that if we can get employees into jobs they're driven to do, they will have greater productivity and a higher level of success. Then, we all win."
