BestWork DATA – Just the Facts
Written by: Chuck Russell, Chairman & Chief Knowledge Officer, BestWork DATA
The value of BestWork DATA is its ability to reveal the behavioral facts about people…to tell what they can do and what they cannot do. Every human behavior depends upon the hard-wired personality traits and cognitive abilities of the individual. These are foundational, and effectively do not change with training, coaching or incentives. BestWork DATA measures these accurately and reliably.

HRBOOST® was featured in Mirror Review's The 10 Game-Changing Women Leaders of 2019.
Which leader had a tremendous impact on you as a leader?
Rather than a leader’s impact on my life, the power of presence had a major impact. To explain this I would like to follow my answer with an incident, I once met a new connection during what I call a “meet and greet.” Not long after we exchanged, he chuckled and proclaimed, “Nicole, you have a keen sense of self-esteem.” I thought to myself, well shouldn’t we all? I questioned back, “Do you mean confidence?” He reaffirmed, “No, esteem. It’s a good thing.” Days later, I find myself amazed by the effect my presence has on others. Often, when I meet people, they will comment on my “energy” or my “presence.”
HRBOOST® participated in the Tales From Around the Water Cooler podcast. One moment that stuck out to me was the realization that HR has changed. HR is no longer the compliance department, it shouldn’t be the police department, and it better not be the therapist’s office. Alongside Kristen, the show host, we examined the challenges of talent acquisition and retention, immigration and technology in relation to the talent shortage, becoming aware of one’s cognitive gifts, and the need for cultivating an intentional workplace culture as opposed to a “culture by default."
