LEADERS WHO CARE® ABOUT THEIR TALENT MAKE THE REAL DIFFERENCE FOR THEIR BUSINESS AND COMMUNITIES
We commit to partner with Leaders Who Care® to attract and retain the very best, ‘right fit, culture add’ talent, and create world-class cultures. One major 5th Element differentiation is our engaged community which Forbes recognized as the “outstanding global brain trust network”.
We partner with our clients to create flourishing human-centric cultures where purpose fuels employee motivation and a positive impact on the world, and where employee wellbeing, psychological safety and DEI co-exist and fuel your organization’s business performance.
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 individuals, and understand that they, and their organization will do better, and create value with a business model and culture intertwined with social impact. The result is attracting the very best talent who want to work only 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, confidentiality and their individual and family interests.
5th Element Group has an ecosystem of relationships deep in quality and quantity. Forbes described us as “an outstanding global brain trust network”, 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.
We uniquely include these relationships on our search teams, based on their expertise related to the specific position and industry, to conduct the most effective and timely searches. Being Influencers, they recommend “A” players and opportunities.
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, ensures every search is a great experience and supports their purpose and social impact. Strategic resources in DEI, Wellbeing and Nonflict offered our clients, are valuable to attract ‘right fit, culture add’ talent for a reputation built upon valuing diversity, equity, inclusion, belonging and trust.
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.
