Human Sustainability Index (HSI)

Why is Human Sustainability Important?

Your organization is only as resilient as its people. Yet, only 30 percent of employees identify as being resilient, revealing a massive gap of untapped potential for growth and change to drive business performance.

Helping to close this gap is Human Sustainability, an approach and skillset that enables individuals and teams to be resilient, inclusive and high performing in a sustainable way. Once your organization learns how to measure and grow Human Sustainability, your people and business will stand a much better chance of reaching their full potential.

What is the Human Sustainability Index?

The Human Sustainability Index (HSI) measures wellbeing, resilience and sustainability at the individual, team and organizational level. It provides you and your leadership team with data-driven insights to make meaningful workforce decisions with clarity and confidence.

Importantly, the HSI brings together a program of diagnostics, coaching, world-class training, and strategy consultancy. It is more than a methodology or tool.

 

How HSI Works to Drive Better Decisions

Through the HSI cycle of diagnostics, and our experienced team of consultants, we can help you make better workforce decisions. We will inform and advise you around the following areas so you can protect and grow your business.

Measurement

How can you measure resilience and diversity in a robust and consistent way across your full workforce?

Innovation
