Building effective managers at Optum Global Advantage

“Companies with effective managers see 48% higher profits.”

Building effective managers is a strategic business decision! The key is to develop them in areas they need to improve. Figuring that out needs to be done scientifically!

Optum Global Advantage (an American healthcare company), partnered with Jombay to assess their Managers and Senior Managers on key competencies, thereby gaining valuable insights into their strengths and areas for growth.

Here's what we did:

> Focused on themes relevant to the organization & role - We curated the Development Center on key behaviors required for success as Managers and Senior Managers at Optum Global Advantage. This included competencies like Growth Mindset, Communicating Effectively, Developing Others, Decision Making and Managing Change.

> Holistic Assessment Experience - Participants were evaluated through personality, behavioral, and cognitive lenses, providing a comprehensive perspective on their critical thinking, leadership approach, and overall potential.

> Informed Decision Making - Detailed individual reports, competency-based scores, and exercise summaries provided actionable insights, identifying specific development areas for the participants.

The Result?

Optum Global Advantage gained valuable insights into their Managers' and Senior Managers' areas for improvement, using this understanding as a foundation to design an impactful development journey.
