CliftonStrengths for Teams

What is the CliftonStrengths assessment? 

The CliftonStrengths assessment measures the presence of talent in 34 general areas, or themes.  Once someone has completed the assessment, they get a report of their top 5 CliftonStrengths themes.  

Human Resources pays for the assessment code for new, benefits-eligible staff members within their first six months.  Current staff, faculty, temporary, or intermittent workers are still able to take the assessment and participate in the classes but the cost of the assessment would come from the department's budget.

Why CliftonStrengths for teams?

Like the quote above says, “...working together is success.”  CliftonStrengths can help team members understand and appreciate the unique talents each person brings to the group. Individuals who know their strengths work together to form better partnerships, and more thoughtful partnerships create stronger teams.  When team members value each other’s strengths, they more effectively relate to one another, avoid potential conflicts, and boost group cohesion. Strong teams start with strong individuals.

Our CliftonStrengths for Teams Learning Series

We are excited to offer this learning series for teams.  Each class will increase understanding of strengths and build greater collaboration between team members.  These classes are sequential and registration is required. 

All team members will need to complete the CliftonStrengths assessment and attend the Introduction to CliftonStrengths class first. Please refer to the CliftonStrengths for Individuals Series for more information.  Team members can attend different Introduction classes, or if you can email hr@emerson.edu to set up an Introduction class for your team as a whole.

Please use the sign-up forms and select the team option. Someone from HR will then reach out to schedule a time with your team.
