The Omnia Insights #66
🔥Want Motivated Teams? Build the Culture That Sustains Them
After last month’s focus on engagement, October is all about motivation. The two are often grouped together, but they are not the same. They influence each other, yet treating them as one misses important opportunities.
Research consistently shows that motivated employees perform better and stay longer. So, the question becomes, what are you, as a leader and as an organization, doing to motivate employees?
Perks and recognition help, but they are not enough on their own. This month’s series explores how leaders can create the conditions that sustain motivation, from psychological safety to self-awareness to balanced expectations.
People don’t bring their best because they are told to. They bring their best when it feels safe to try, meaningful to pursue, and possible to achieve.
What’s working for you? Share your team’s motivation strategies with us, and we may feature them on our social media channels.
See you next month!

Why Allison Garcia, VP of Talent Acquisition at Hylant Trusts Omnia
As VP of Talent Acquisition at Hylant, a full-service insurance brokerage with offices across multiple states and more than 1,000 professionals, Allison Garcia has partnered with Omnia for several years. She first discovered Omnia through Netview and a webinar and quickly recognized its potential to strengthen both hiring and employee development processes.
For Allison, Omnia’s value lies in its insightful assessment tools, reliable benchmarking, and exceptional customer service. The behavioral data gives her team a clear picture of strengths and growth areas, helping them make confident, data-driven hiring decisions and support employees well beyond onboarding. And Omnia’s reports and side-by-side benchmarks help leaders identify top performers, minimize turnover risk, and craft stronger development plans.
Omnia is the only behavioral assessment tool Hylant uses today. Other vendors simply haven’t matched Omnia’s accuracy or responsiveness.
What stands out most is the personal partnership Allison experiences with the team. She works closely with Senior Customer Success Manager, Cynthia Brooks, who provides expert guidance and proactive support. Cynthia’s detailed explanations help the Hylant team understand and apply the assessments effectively.
