What is The Birkman Method?
Birkman is a workplace assessment that helps people understand what motivates them, how they typically work at their best, what they need from others and their environment, and how they may respond when those needs are not met.
- Focus on Needs: Birkman’s focus on measuring people’s underlying and motivational needs is what makes it stand out from other assessments.
- Science: The Birkman Method is grounded in psychometric measurement and has been used for more than 70 years, with millions of questionnaire completions.
- Use Cases: Because it combines relational data with occupational interest data, Birkman is often used in executive coaching, leadership development, career exploration, hiring support, and team effectiveness work to create more practical data-centric conversations using non-judgmental language.
- Mindset: Birkman also has a “mindset” report that helps people understand their attitudes and beliefs.
Career Upside offers 40+ reports that help individuals and teams with work, team dynamics, leadership, life, family relationships, and more.
