“Your company’s future depends on its people. A happy and motivated worker is productive, creative and enterprising. A team whose members trust and respect each other can move mountains.”
– Lazar Emanuel, CEO, The Highlands Company
The Highlands Company is uniquely qualified to infuse your workers with a new sense of their skills and strengths and to propel your leaders, executives, managers and teams to higher levels of effectiveness and success. An employee’s most powerful tools are self-knowledge and self-awareness. The Highlands Company has piloted and perfected a series of programs that help employees to sharpen these tools. The programs have been used by such companies as IBM, GSK, JPMorganChase, Coca Cola, Cingular, Cisco, and Bell South.
The Highlands Programs are built on the eight factors of the Highlands Personal Vision Wheel. To define a worker’s strengths, the Highlands Company uses the gold standard among assessment tests – the Highlands Ability Battery™. The Battery is an objective test of abilities, each measured by a time-tested worksample. The Battery is available online and on a CD. The employee’s results are reported and analyzed in a detailed multi-page report.
Depending on the purpose of the Program, Highlands issues one of two reports:
a Leadership Report, or
an Adult Report
The Adult Report is used in the Personal and Professional Development Program. The Leadership Report is used in the Leadership Workshop. Either Report may be used in the Team Building Program, at the option of the corporate client. Each is designed to meet the needs of the participants. Samples of both Reports are available, click here.
Following the Battery, your employees take part in a two-hour personalized consultation with a Certified Highlands Affiliate. Over the years, the Highlands Company has trained and certified more than 200 Affiliates throughout the world. The Affiliates lead the employees in an intensive review of their strengths and challenges, and their application at work and at home.
Highlands Corporate Programs:
Personal and Professional Development Program This is a one-day Workshop conducted by a trained Highlands Facilitator. Through a number of exercises, the Facilitator leads the participants through the eight factors in the Personal Vision Wheel. The aim is to build self-awareness, to learn more about others, and to clarify personal life and career objectives. At the end of the Workshop, each employee creates a Personal Vision and completes both a Personal Development Plan and a Career Vision Statement. Click here.
Team Building Program. The objective of this program is to identify a corporate team, to integrate its members into a cohesive unit, to overcome challenges and to identify and manage the “people side” of a team. The Team Building workshops focus on problem-solving, mutual appreciation, team leadership, communication styles, risk-taking, decision-making, trust, diversity and conflict management. The Workshops are conducted over a full day involving many exercises. At the end, the members define the team’s goals and create a Team Vision. Click here.
Leadership Workshop. The Highlands Leadership Development Workshop is a one-day exploration into the relationship between a participant’s Leadership qualities and eight factors that contribute to the development of those qualities. The eight factors we examine are: natural or innate abilities, skills, values, personal style, the family crucible, goals, interests, and the person’s current position in the work or career cycle.

We design each Workshop to serve the specific needs of the corporate client. We are conscious of the need to set goals which are realistic and cost-effective. Our aim is to help you build the bottom line.
