This March, The Omnia Group will celebrate 40 years as an industry leader at the forefront of behavioral analysis in the workplace. Our mission is to help small and mid-sized businesses like yours build effective, high-performing teams across all industries. Our flagship product, the Omnia Assessment, was launched in 1985. It is a scientifically validated behavioral assessment tool that provides insights you can use throughout the employee lifecycle.
In honor of our 40th anniversary, we will be sharing a collection of blogs highlighting our pioneering history and pulling back the curtain to share not only the science but also the heart behind our offerings. Today, we offer assessments in 15 countries and 15 languages, serving a diverse global clientele in a spectrum of industries and helping organizations build stronger, more effective teams and a thriving company culture. We couldn’t be prouder of our team, our history, and our global client impact. We are excited to celebrate all of this with our readers.
Coming soon, we’ll share more of the history of Omnia and our founders. In this blog, I’ll dig into what makes Omnia unique, highlighting our core offerings. I’ll also share insights on why behavioral assessments are even more critical now when it comes to hiring, developing, engaging and retaining employees than it was when we broke ground in this space 40 years ago.

What Omnia Offers to Clients Prioritizing Selection, Development and Employee Engagement Best Practices
Our product offering is streamlined and straightforward. We offer 3 types of assessments – The Omnia Behavioral Assessment, The Omnia Cognitive Assessment and The Omnia Grammar Assessment. Each of these produce a powerful collection of insights that our clients use to make critical hiring decisions. Long after the selection decision, our reports provide useful information to help develop and engage staff for the long term.
At the core of Omnia is our Omnia Assessment measuring four core personality aspects:
- The need to make things happen
- The preferred way of sharing ideas
- The speed at which a person operates
- The degree of dependence on processes
The Omnia Assessment is a scientifically validated bias-free behavioral assessment. It generates the Omnia Behavioral Profile, identifying the assessment taker’s personality traits, core motivations, preferred work style, and optimal environments for peak performance.
This comprehensive approach allows you to gain deep insights into your employees’ behavioral traits, helping you predict job compatibility, improve team dynamics, and guide individual success within your organization.
What sets the Omnia Assessment apart? It’s quick, easy, and accurate, providing valuable insights in just 10 minutes or less. Plus, it’s been independently validated three times, most recently in 2022/2023, ensuring you can rely on the data to complement your HR strategies.
The Omnia Cognitive Assessment reveals whether a candidate will likely thrive or struggle in a specific role. Our clients use this instrument to measure a candidate’s ability to think abstractly and comprehend new concepts. It also can get to the bottom of how well a candidate learns, adapts to new environments and situations, and problem solves. All of these being such critical traits for employees in this dynamic business world we find ourselves in today.
The Omnia Grammar Assessment is a simple pre-employment assessment that gives you a clear idea of a candidate’s mastery of grammar and punctuation. Straightforward and to the point, but again so critical to be sure your candidates can communicate clearly, accurately and effectively, (and on their own, without the help of AI!).
While our assessments are at the core of our business, there’s a host of other analytics, reporting, and services we provide our clients that drive the results behind the instruments.
Our Benchmarking empowers you to make informed hiring and development decisions by leveraging behavioral data to create models for your next top hire. By having your top-performing employees complete the Omnia assessment, we create Custom Profiles to rate candidates, compare their traits against top performers, and create automated Target Profiles. Even for newly created positions, our extensive experience and industry-specific benchmarks help identify the traits needed for success. Over our 40 years, the Omnia Team has benchmarked over 200 roles across multiple industries.
Our team of subject matter experts also bring Omnia to life in the field. We speak often at industry events, and present custom client workshops on Leadership Development, Team Dynamics, Soft Skills and a multitude of relevant topics related to talent selection, development and engagement.
Because cultivating talent is an on-going team effort, our skilled Customer Success Managers are subject matter experts who walk beside you to accomplish your organization’s talent management goals every step of the way. Our Customer Success Team provides unlimited 1:1 client consultation, new hiring manager onboarding, and staff development.
All our solutions work together to predict job compatibility, enhance team dynamics, and ensure your employees possess the necessary skills to thrive. This comprehensive approach ensures our clients achieve their talent management goals and are why we are afforded the amazing client retention we have here at The Omnia Group.
Why Behavioral Assessments are even more Critical now than they were back then
Statistics Speak Volumes
In today’s rapidly evolving business landscape, the use of behavioral assessments has become more crucial than ever. According to recent studies, 75% of Fortune 500 companies now utilize behavioral models in their operations. Understanding your employees’ personalities, motivations, and work styles is essential for fostering a productive and engaged workforce in this competitive landscape.
Here are the benefits:
1. Improved Hiring Decisions.
According to the Department of Labor, a bad hire can cost your company 30% of the employee’s first year earnings. By using assessments, you can make data-driven decisions and significantly reduce this risk.
2. Enhanced Employee Development.
86% of HR managers consider training essential for retention. With insights from behavioral assessments, you can create personalized development plans that cater to each employee’s unique learning style and career goals. By using assessments to inform your development strategies, you can boost retention rates, cultivate a more engaged workforce, and achieve better ROI.
3. Increased Employee Retention.
Happy employees are those who feel seen and invested in. Employee retention tools like our assessments provide powerful insights into employee job satisfaction, motivators, customized development plans, and coaching actions that all aid in crafting strategies to keep your top talent engaged and committed.
4. Healthier Team Dynamics.
The most effective teams trust each other, recognize individual strengths, and work together to solve problems and innovate. Every leader aspires to build a productive team. Understanding each team member’s natural tendencies and work style allows managers to develop strategies for building more cohesive, productive teams.
