Working Genius Assessment

Find out what energizes your team, and watch your financial organization take off.

– WORKING GENIUS ASSESSMENT FOR FINANCIAL ORGANIZATIONS –

Your people show up every day, but are they giving it their all? The problem may not be the person. It may be where they sit in the workflow.

A Working Genius Assessment for financial organizations shows you exactly which types of work energize each employee and which ones drain them. With those answers, you can realign roles, balance your teams and build a workflow where everyone contributes at their best.

Reduce Employee Burnout Across Your Financial Organization

In a tight labor market, burnout makes every retention problem worse. When employees spend most of their day on work that drains them, even your strongest performers start looking elsewhere.

The Working Genius Assessment for financial organizations shows you which tasks give each person energy, so you can place them where they do the most meaningful work with the least fatigue. Pair it with leadership training so managers know how to use those insights in daily conversations, not just in a one-time session.

Heighten Team Productivity

Your financial organization has big goals, and lapses in productivity slow every one of them down. Most slowdowns aren’t about effort. They come from people stuck in stages of work that frustrate them.

Understanding what invigorates each employee helps you close those gaps and get more from the team you already have, which makes it easier to deliver on the priorities set during strategic planning.

Build a Clearer Workflow For Your Financial Organization

Projects stall when nobody is quite sure who owns what. The Working Genius model gives your team a shared language for every stage of work, from the first idea to the finished project. Leaders and staff can see where handoffs break down and who is best equipped to move each stage forward.

FAQs: Working Genius Assessments for Financial Organizations

What is a Working Genius Assessment?
The Working Genius Assessment is a productivity model developed by Patrick Lencioni that identifies the types of work that give each person energy, the types they can handle and the types that frustrate them. For financial organizations, it provides a clear way to match employees with the stages of work where they contribute most.
How is Working Genius different from a personality test?
Personality tests describe who you are. Working Genius describes how you work. Instead of general traits, it shows where each employee fits in your workflow, so leaders can make practical decisions about roles, projects and team structure.
Why should financial organizations use the Working Genius Assessment?
Credit unions, banks and other financial organizations face constant pressure on staffing, retention and productivity. The Working Genius Assessment helps reduce burnout, improve teamwork and clarify workflow, so your team can accomplish more without adding headcount.
What happens during a Working Genius session?

Every participant completes the assessment ahead of time. During the session, a Certified Working Genius Facilitator walks your team through how the workflow functions, what each person’s results mean and where everyone fits. We then help you put the results into practice both on-site and after the session.

Who should take the Working Genius Assessment?

Any team within a financial organization can benefit, from executive teams and boards to branch staff and department leaders. It’s especially helpful for teams dealing with burnout, stalled projects or frequent friction between departments.
