Leadership: Impact On Employee Engagement
From Research to Results: How Equity Leadership is Transforming the Global Workforce
What happens when world-class research meets real-world application? Recently, one of the founders of H&K Advisors was invited to Dublin, Ireland, to present a groundbreaking leadership model to a global audience. This same framework that has also been shared with HR leaders at the WI-SHRM Conference, confirming what our clients already know: that the concept of Equity Leadership is the future of organizational effectiveness.
Conceptualized by, Dr. Matthew Hurtienne and Dr. Laura Hurtienne, this model was born from a need to bridge the gap between traditional management and the modern, diverse workforce. At H&K Advisors, we don’t just consult; we implement evidence-based strategies that are proven predictors of increased productivity, employee engagement, and long-term retention.
Moving Beyond "Cookie-Cutter" Leadership
Many leadership development programs treat employees as if they are all the same. However, at H&K Advisors, we understand that your greatest asset—your people—are unique individuals with different motivations.
Equity Leadership (EL) is the cornerstone of our consulting philosophy. As defined in published research (Hurtienne & Hurtienne, 2023), EL:
"Identifies individual employee’s personal and professional resources, relationships, and opportunity needs to support them in reaching their fullest potential."
Through our H&K Advisory Services, we assist organizations in moving away from a "one-size-fits-all" approach to management. We provide leaders with the tools needed to conduct intentional and consistent one-on-one engagements that foster the trust essential for a high-performing culture.
The ROI of Engagement: The Triple P
At H&K Advisors, we help you connect employee sentiment to your bottom line. We focus on the Triple P: Passion, Productivity, and Performance.
Our data-driven approach teaches leaders that:
Engagement is a Process: It requires a continuous loop of nurturing and constructive action.
Leadership is the Catalyst: You cannot force engagement; it is a natural response to equitable leadership.
Unleashing Potential: We help organizations and leaders find ways to "unleash human expertise," ensuring that every employee decides to be fully "in" based on their unique professional experience.
A Foundation of Integrity and Faith
H&K Advisors is committed to ethical, values-based leadership. For many of our clients, this commitment aligns with the principles of the Christian faith. The concept of equity is not new; it is rooted in biblical teachings.
We believe that, as stated in Genesis 1:27, all individuals are created in God’s image. However, each person is uniquely endowed with different talents and abilities, as highlighted in Matthew 25:15. Our framework draws from the Parable of the Talents to guide modern management. We recognize that "equity is not equality." True leadership involves identifying the specific "talents" of each employee and providing the tailored support they need to develop those gifts for the benefit of both the organization and the Kingdom.
