From humble beginnings in Johnsonville, WI in 1945 to their modern day success as one of the globe’s most popular breakfast-food business, Johnsonville Sausage is constantly finding ways to develop a positive workplace atmosphere for their team members. 

Kristen, an Organizational Development Business Partner at Johnsonville Sausage, told Bulk Bookstore how StrengthsFinder 2.0 helped her team learn more about themselves and move forward with strength!

Improving Company Culture

“At Johnsonville Sausage, StrengthsFinder 2.0 provides awareness to our members about their unique individual strengths, their team members’ strengths, and the strengths of other teams that they work with cross-functionally,” Kristen told us.

In the last year, the Organizational Development and Learning team has made a concerted effort to incorporate strengths-based leadership techniques in the workplace with the help of business bestseller, StrengthsFinder 2.0.

She said: “By using StrengthsFinder 2.0, we’re getting to know our members better, and learning how to leverage their different strengths to collaborate, and work towards our company’s strategic initiatives.”

Empowered Employees

Whether they had heard about the StrengthsFinder assessment before or not, Kristen explained that the members at Johnsonville immediately jumped to the task!

“StrengthsFinder has been received well by members,” she told us. “Most of them had actually heard of it before, and some have even taken the assessment already in the past.”

The most important thing though, was that the team took the assessment together.

“Activities involving the StrengthsFinder 2.0 with our members have been positive for building team momentum and unity” Kristen elaborated. “It’s fun to learn more about yourself, and your coworkers. It makes a difference.”
