Achieve by connecting people to your purpose

eQ8 is an innovative, globally-unique, dynamic and scalable Strategic Workforce Planning SAAS platform.

Purpose. People. Connect.

Most organizations have a purpose, but are not sure what it’s going to take to get there. That’s where we come in! eQ8 aligns (equates) your organizations purpose with your workforce, your people, through Strategic Workforce Planning, creating value for all stakeholders.

Whether it’s navigating change, understanding Future of Work, transforming, emerging through external shocks or just delighting your customers, eQ8 will get you there.

+ Do you know the workforce (size + shape) you need today? What about in 3 years?

Most organizations cannot answer “yes” so cannot be confident that they will be able to achieve their objectives through their execution vehicle, the workforce.

eQ8 gives leaders the foresight to ensure they will have the requisite capability and capacity in place so that they can achieve, together.

+ Has your organization ever made short-term decisions that may have damaged its longer-term viability?

Cost-cuts? Hiring Freezes? Blanket X% reductions? You’re not alone – most organizations are stuck in reactive mode.

With eQ8, organizations have the total picture – now and into the future – so that insight-driven choices are made for greater responsibility and sustainability.

+ The world is changing, (how) are you keeping up?

Even before this “new normal” the world was changing – digitization, transformation, globalization, consolidation and so on.

eQ8 integrates internal and external dynamics so that organizations have a holistic view of the net impact, enabling them to build true agility into their operating model.

+ Do you know what “future of work” really means for your organization?

The “robots are coming” rhetoric has gotten fatiguing. We know technology is here and here to stay. The problem is that the myriad of FoW stats are often detached from an organization's reality.

eQ8 contextualises technology trajectories into the unique organization dynamics, giving them clarity to confidently navigate to the future.

+ What are you working on and how is it actually enabling your organization to achieve its purpose?

Do you feel like your “to do” list never ends? There are countless workforce initiatives that we could be working on – but what should we be focusing on?

eQ8 puts people at the centre of strategy, providing the data-driven insights that distil to the initiatives that will matter the most for impact and success.

+ So you think you’re Socially Responsible?

Upskilling, reskilling, cross-skilling. Build, Buy, Borrow. Without a clear plan for the future, organizations cannot ensure sustainability for its people nor provide an optimal experience.

With eQ8, future pathways become clear so that organizations can bring their people on their journey in a way that is proactive, sustainable and socially responsible.
