For more than a decade, The Dash Group has helped leaders to create healthy organizations with cultures that engage employees, promote innovation, minimize risk, support strong teamwork and produce more competent leaders. We know that human capital within an organization is its greatest asset (or in some cases, its highest liability). Human capital is the engine that drives products/services, operations, marketing, finance, IT, HR, and, ultimately profitability, yet too many leaders prioritize other aspects of their business and not the things that may cause a sluggish engine. That is why investing in people, the heart and soul of an organization, is the most critical investment a leader will ever make.

Leadership and Organizational DevelopmentLeadership is more than a title. It is a job. Dwight D. Eisenhower said, "Leadership is the art of getting someone else to do something you want done because he wants to do it.". The success of any leader rests on how they inspire their employees to reach their maximum potential and create the environment that supports that. Too often leaders are promoted for technical ability but are not taught to lead effectively. We give leaders, at all levels, tools to successfully lead their organizations through change, create environments that promote innovation and employee engagement and maximize the talent within their organizations.
Risk and Safety
In order to maintain healthy organizations you can't overlook risk and safety factors critical to the physical health of your employees and customers. Assessing the judgment capacity of employees in order to mitigate risk has become an area of special interest to us. We work with clients that employ fork lift operators, large trucks, heavy equipment and school buses. Because we care about our clients we have always been concerned with safety but an event occurred in November of 2016 that moved the issue of safety from a concern to a cause for us. It is an issue we are committed to help improve with both our assessment resources and our own financial resources.
Creating Cultures Where People Want to Work and Where Their Friends Are Dying to Work The culture of an organization is as much a part of company's identity as the products and services it sells. A healthy culture is essential for maximum productivity, employee engagement, superior customer service, innovation and growth. A company's culture is more than just their environment. It is how they work together, communicate, unique rituals, traditions, and celebrations. It becomes the back drop to their story and it tends to either draw people in or send people packing.
Employee Growth and ImprovementWe believe that continuous learning and growth is paramount to excellence. We tailor various training seminars to the individual needs of our clients. Here is a list of some of the topics we offer:

Employee EngagementIn any organization, engaged employees are motivated to give their best and remain with a company. They feel valued, understand the importance of their role to the success of the company and feel a strong sense of loyalty. Conversely, disengaged employees contribute to absenteeism, attrition and toxicity. SHRM estimates that the cost to replace an employee is, on average, about 150% of his/her annual salary. If this person was a top producer or an executive, the cost to the organization could be as much as 300%.
Employee engagement rarely happens by accident. Having a strategic plan in place for engagement is as important as any other plan your organization makes. 
Planning for Succession and GrowthStrategic planning for succession and growth ensures your organization is never vulnerable should an executive, senior manager or other business critical position is vacated or if your company grows and expands. We help you identify and develop high-potential employees to ensure transitions are smooth and that your company doesn't lose revenue by having to hire from the outside. A robust succession/expansion plan is critical to making sure your organization's brightest days are ahead!
Due Diligence for Investment or AcquisitionToo often private equity and investment bankers focus solely on financials when performing their due diligence. We believe that it is just as critical to evaluate the overall health of an organization from a human capital perspective. Where is the company healthy? Where are the vulnerabilities in leadership and culture? Knowing those things upfront gives you the ability to make better decisions. If you decide to move forward with investment or acquisition, this information will allow you to onboard and help the organization navigate change more effectively for a faster return on investment.
