Holistic Hiring: Creating Cohesive Teams

By Marc Leslie, Creator of Ihon Holistic Hiring®

Forget treating people how you'd like to be treated. The next level is treating people how they prefer to be treated. 🎯

This simple truth transforms hiring and team building entirely.

The Assessment Revolution

Holistic hiring methods like Ihon Holistic Hiring® use powerful assessment tools that help organisations understand and enhance team dynamics and cohesion by understanding and leveraging the unique qualities of each team member. Psychometric assessments reveal deeper insights into individual motivations, communication styles, optimal work environments and development opportunities.

Understanding Yourself and Others 💡

Ihon Holistic Hiring® empowers individuals to gain deeper insight into themselves and their teammates through powerful assessment tools. This dual awareness creates the foundation for exceptional team performance, starting with personal self-knowledge and extending to complete team understanding.

The journey begins with self-awareness - recognising personal strengths, preferences, and potential blind spots. When individuals understand their own working styles, they make conscious choices about communication and collaboration. This internal knowledge enables professionals to adapt their approach based on situations rather than operating on autopilot.

True workplace transformation happens when this understanding extends to teammates. By mapping individual profiles alongside team dynamics, employees learn to recognise why colleagues approach tasks differently. What might seem like resistance could actually be cautious analysis. What appears as indecisiveness might be thorough consideration. This perspective shift transforms workplace relationships overnight.

The Engagement Framework

Ihon Holistic Hiring® demonstrates that assessment tools serve multiple purposes - evaluating self and others, connecting with self and others, and enabling continuous development. These comprehensive, yet simple approaches help leaders identify potential conflict areas while developing strategies to overcome them. Teams learn to celebrate their diversity and leverage it for performance enhancement.

From Assessment to Action

Ihon Holistic Hiring® provides actionable insights for leaders to drive team development and cohesion. They deliver tailored onboarding plans, enable strategic conflict resolution, and create development pathways. These tools recognise both core personality traits (relatively stable) and adaptable personality traits (changeable with awareness), ensuring a more complete understanding of human potential.

From Hiring to Transformation 💫

Companies embracing this new methodology will:

👉Empower Leadership: Offer actionable insights for leaders to shape a high-performing team environment.

👉Promote Individual Growth: Provide each member with personalised playbooks to leverage their strengths and address areas of improvement.

👉Boost Collaboration: By understanding the personality spectrum within a team, foster a culture of understanding, empathy, unity and shared objectives.

👉Create a People-Centric Culture: Understanding self and others on a deeper level, fostering team oneness and a stronger sense of belonging.

This creates workplaces where people don't just fit - they flourish. Where personality differences become competitive advantages. Where treating people as they prefer becomes the foundation for extraordinary performance.

Do you feel your company is ready to embrace the new way of thinking and the new way of being, unlocking your team's true potential through comprehensive personality-driven evaluation, engagement, and development?
