The Human Element

WHY THE HUMAN ELEMENT?

The speed at which we’ve come from the first Industrial Revolution through to modern Technology, the Internet and Artificial Intelligence, has led us now to the 5th Revolution, which is about Humanity.

We commit to partner with Leaders Who Care™ about humans, and understand the higher value of a business model intertwined with Social Enterprise. The result is positive impact on their talent, their organization, and their communities, local and global.

We take our partner relationships seriously, where we are representing Management and the organization’s reputation and brand; and importantly, each person’s trust and confidentiality, and their individual and family interests.

The 5th Element Group has relationships deep in quality and quantity, worldwide from diverse cultures and languages, business and personal experiences, from Fortune 500 Corporates to Startups, Private Equity and Family Offices, to engaged Academic, Government and Nonprofit leaders, covering all industries and disciplines. This translates into knowing about great opportunities, as well as the “A” players who are only open to hearing about special positions.

Our relationships are built upon good business, developed friendships and a shared vision to leave the world better than we found it. Engaging with top talent around their passions has cultivated creativity and energy to pursue “omniwin” opportunities within companies and in strategic partnerships.

We aim to be your go-to group for Leaders Who Care™ about humanity and leading with passion.

Human Element - D&I
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 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.
