MAKING WORK BETTER

At 8 we see that all business problems are ultimately people problems.

People are your biggest asset, yet the untapped capacity of these people is also your biggest cost. If you want your team or organisation to grow and succeed, you need high-energy individuals and a strong culture to connect them all! It may be a simple concept but workplaces across the globe are struggling to reach their full potential.

We’ve worked with people and organisations across the globe, leveraging best practice to navigate your current workforce, we cultivate workplaces that are more human, more energised, more sustainable and we rejuvenate your organisation and ultimately your profits.

“At 8 we have a people first focus, we care about humans and our mission is to make work a better place, one small ripple at a time.”

WORKPLACES WE’VE WORKED WITH

We had the pleasure of working with Odelle recently on a project with the Predictive Index for our Management team. Odelle did an exceptional job of running the session keeping it fun, informative, relevant and engaging. We gained great insight from the work done in better understanding how to work best with each other. We won’t hesitate to work with Odelle again as future needs arise in the business.

John HobbyGM - Nu Skin Enterprises

Had the pleasure of experiencing Odelle’s energy and passion during a workshop recently. Making a difference for people and teams is really important for Odelle and it shows with everything she does.

Frances HorafiarisSenior Learning Development Partner - QBE

I have known Odelle for over four years and in that time I have worked with her both in a recruiter/candidate relationship but also as a coach – particularly in the delivery and interpretation of the Predictive Index. Odelle is highly professional and always strives for the best outcome for the people she works with. I have been successfully placed in two great roles thanks to Odelle and also been able to learn and grow in my roles thanks to the great work, analysis and insights that her work with Predictive Index has allowed.

Cecelia Hutchinson ParsonsSenior Manager - CBA

Personable, approachable, strong in her profession – Odelle, sets the standard for human resources consultancy management. Well researched, balanced solutions drive each & every engagement. A valued partner to capability building.

Paul MenziesChair Advisory & Exec Director

Whilst at Westpac, we utilised the PI toolkit both for existing staff and potential new hires. The insights gained from this tool and the subsequent training/workshop offered help to accelerate the changes needed in team culture and communication. Excellent program.

David HarrisonSCM Director - Vodafone

We engaged with Odelle to conduct Predictive Index on the team members and present the findings at a Team Building session. As this was a new team, it was important to get insights into the individual team members and the diversity within the team. The session was interactive, energetic and enjoyable. It provided a great opportunity to understand individual and team dynamics. These learnings are assisting in better collaboration and communication which is leading to more effective outcomes. As one colleague said to me “I am spending more time on the situation and not on the person as I have a good understanding of how to approach and work with him.”

Ashard AliHead of Procurement - BAI Communications

Odelle ran a Predictive Index leadership session with my direct reports yesterday and she was amazing. The team were blown away by the insights, and Odelle facilitated the event in an engaging, authoritative and impactful way. Great value, and great insights.

Stephen MathewsGroup CFO BAI Communications

We thoroughly enjoyed working with Odelle and found the insights gained from the Pi assessment extremely helpful and interesting. We now have a much better understanding of how we work both individually and collectively as a team. Thank you Odelle.
