“Makenzie’s focus on our client partners never waivers,” says Kimberly Rath, Talent Plus co-chairman and co-founder. “Her understanding of our science and background in OD is unparalleled and led to successful launches of assessment/interview builds, such as Operational Manager Talent Online Assessment. Makenzie has served in client success roles and leadership roles, as well as Talent Plus’ Board of Directors.”
She grew up on a strength management journey, being familiar with Talent Plus and as a counselee in Nebraska Human Resources Institute (NHRI) (Talent Plus co-founder William E. Hall founded in the 1950s), from age of 5, continuing through high school. As a collegian, she was the first true-freshman mentor and continues to have mentoring relationships today.
“I’m looking forward to enlivening Dr. Hall’s dream. Our colleagues work with client partners and speak globally about the difference individuals and organizations can make when able to actualize their full potential,” Makenzie Rath offers. “I know our solutions enlighten individuals to what they and their teams can accomplish through scientifically assessing, selecting, onboarding, developing, coaching, engaging and retaining the right people with the right talents to grow.”
