UNLEASHING YOUR GREATEST CAPITAL
THE HUMAN ELEMENT
RECRUITMENT & RETENTION FOR LEADERS WHO CARE®
We commit to partner with Leaders Who Care® about their employees as human beings, and understand that their organization will do better and have a higher value with a business model and culture intertwined with social impact. The result is attracting the very best talent who only want to work with leaders who care about their financial, physical and mental wellbeing, a growing business with opportunity, and positively impacting their local and global communities.
We take our partner relationships seriously (is that not preferred over just another vendor?). We represent management and the organization’s reputation and brand; and importantly, each person’s trust and confidentiality, and their individual and family interests.
5th Element Group has an ecosystem of relationships deep in quality and quantity. We are a global community, engaged with diverse cultures and languages (spoken and not),business and personal experiences, from Fortune 500 corporates to startups, private equity and family offices, to academic, government and nonprofit leaders, covering all industries and disciplines.
Forbes described it as “an outstanding global brain trust network.” We uniquely include these relationships on our search teams, based on their expertise related to the specific position. This translates into knowing about the “A” players who are only open to hearing about special positions, as well as great opportunities first and exclusively. Whether it is Finance or Investment, to Blockchain or Crypto, AI, Digital Transformation or ERP’s, Marketing or Supply Chain, etc.; with VC’s, P/E firms and Family Offices, or startups and large corporates; from tech to manufacturing, healthcare to space, sports and entertainment, Ag and Food, to Education, Nonprofits or Foundations, and more. We commit experts in search, and the specific qualifications of the discipline, for Management to Executive to Board roles, to conduct the most effective and timely search.
Our relationships are built upon good business, developed friendships and a shared vision; and these are deep relationships, built upon caring about your whole business and life journey. How we conduct a search positively brands our clients, and supports our consulting to align their brand with social impact; Resources in Wellbeing and DEI offered our clients, are valuable to attract ‘right fit, culture add’ talent for a reputation built upon valuing diversity, equity, inclusion, belonging and trust. These and other services differentiate 5th Element Group, and create “omniwin” opportunities within and between companies and in strategic partnerships.
We aim to be your partner, your go-to group for Leaders Who Care® about humanity and leading with passion, to put you and your organization in a position to win and to achieve your KPI’s and long term goals. Let’s get to know each other and see how we can be of service to you.
The 5th Element Differentiation
DIVERSITY, INCLUSION & GENDER EQUALITY
Cultivating an inclusive environment where diverse perspectives are valued and desired will prove to have a high return for your company.
It’s clear that diversity brings valuable unique experiences, ideas and strategies, from the Production to the Board Rooms. Inclusion is all about maximizing opportunity for all individuals to benefit, and contribute to the organization. The principals and values are industry agnostic. Capitalize positively on both the common values as well as the differences, by treating everyone equally, recognizing their individuality and the team.
We initially conduct a Discovery exercise to learn about your “why”, vision and overall objectives, specifically with respect to Diversity, Inclusion and Gender Equality. This knowledge is critical to make customized recommendations, achieve your expected goals and manage the challenges and opportunities ahead. Setting up from scratch, to consulting with your leaders on creating and implementing programs, we will partner with and be of service to you. We have the expertise on our executive search team to evaluate and recommend individuals as ‘right fit, culture add’ candidates for your Chief Diversity and/or Inclusion Officer position(s). Our differentiation lies in the combined expertise and global experiences in corporate, search and consulting in this arena, over many industries, understanding the intertwining within multiple sectors and people within your organization, and how to maximize the impact on opportunities and benefits for your Talent, Business and Community.
A HOLISTIC APPROACH TO WELLBEING
The 5th Element team and global partners can help you deploy progressive holistic solutions by focusing on the five pillars of wellbeing and by creating customized Wellbeing Journeys for your company or organization.
When you help your talent evolve, grow, and thrive at work and within their personal lives, their motivation, engagement and productivity will skyrocket, and your talent acquisition and retention will be positively impacted.
If you are ready to shift how you lead, inspire, and support individuals within your own organization in a holistic way, let’s talk.
