“Todd is well versed in conducting the Birkman assessment tool. My company contracted Todd to assess each employee to increase productivity. It worked very well. We have witnessed an increase in productivity by understanding our employees and each of their personal/career objectives.
Todd uses a direct and forthright communication style in which he effectively provided feedback to my team members. He is logical and sequential in thought process thereby assisting employees in understanding their results.
Todd possesses a trustworthy and empathetic attitude. My employees were comfortable in his presence.
Ultimately, having my team participate in this assessment has led to better team cohesion, a sense of being heard and an increase in productivity.
I would strongly recommend working with Todd to assist your organization in its growth vis a vis your greatest asset, your people.”

Reduce Turnover With the Power of Birkman
A marine transportation company was spending nearly $3 million on new hire turnover. See how Birkman turned around their talent acquisition process.
Challenge
A large US marine transportation company with a workforce of over one thousand has a new-hire turnover rate of over 100%. With a current hiring process including background checks, medical screens, multiple interviews, and job-related skills and knowledge testing, the company’s hiring practices were solid but incomplete.
Action
The marine transportation company used the Birkman to identify applicants who possessed the character traits that would most help them succeed at their respective roles within the company, specifically identifying applicants who are characteristically suited for the work and working environment. Birkman provided such powerful behavioral insights that the company could develop a methodology to reduce employee turnover successfully. They identified a set of successful characteristics for a specific job and work environment. Recruiters harnessed these detailed profiles to sort out the applicant pool.
Result
Once the company created an ideal employee profile using Birkman assessment data, new-hire turnover decreased by 67%. Higher productivity and increased workforce morale made a significant bottom-line impact.
