The Omnia Insights #59
🎉 Happy 40th to Omnia: Reflecting on the Past, Innovating for the Future
Welcome to the birthday month issue of Omnia Insights! As we celebrate 40 years of excellence, we find ourselves at a meaningful intersection of honoring our past while looking boldly toward the future. Since our founding in 1985, The Omnia Group has evolved from a passionate vision to create a unique behavioral assessment into a trusted industry leader in data-driven talent solutions.
This milestone anniversary beautifully coincides with Women’s History Month, and we take that opportunity to recognize the leadership of our co-founder, Heather Caswell, who continues to guide Omnia today.
Our journey is defined by the strong relationships we’ve built along the way. We celebrate our long-tenured team members who have dedicated 25 years or more to our growth, and the loyal clients who have partnered with us across the decades. We believe these relationships are the true measure of our impact and the trust we’ve built in the industry.
In this special edition, we explore the history of personality assessments, share insights from our latest Talent Trends Report, and examine how AI innovations reshape talent management practices.
As we step confidently into a new decade of pushing boundaries and reimagining potential, we are grateful for you – our valued Omnia champions.
Until next month!
