why we study Human Value
We’ve got a big problem to solve.
Healthy, engaged humans bring critical strengths to the organization, whether it’s a new idea or an intrinsic desire to make a difference. More than ever, businesses recognize human capital value as a primary driver of growth and a top priority in their workplace strategies.
However, despite an increasing focus on their people, many businesses are seeing limited progress when it comes to value creation. A deeply ingrained “humans-as-expenses” model continues to devalue the individual, blocking leaders from accessing this dynamic resource.
Building on our influential research, Symbio has studied the integral connection between individual purpose and human value. We teach our clients the most effective ways to evaluate and maximize individual engagement. By learning to make data-driven decisions that intentionally support each member of the work environment, businesses that partner with Symbio are realizing greater value.

Here’s how Human Value creation really works.
A radically human framework
Symbio’s approach to building human-driven value shifts strategic focus to the inputs (as opposed to the outputs) of engagement. Our research demonstrates that these inputs center on nine key themes, which include being visionary, societal, adaptive and receptive.
By developing their strengths in these areas, leaders learn to prioritize human experience enabling them to make value creation a more collaborative and self-perpetuating process. Symbio’s clients know that the work does not stop there. Through regular and ongoing internal assessments, our clients and their employees are able to successfully grow and adapt along with their industry.
