WorqIQ

People and Culture

At WorqIQ, we focus on the human side of business.

We are uniquely positioned to help your organization understand, and then improve, your level of workplace intelligence (WQ). We help accomplish your goals – and make a real difference – by focusing on what we’ve come to learn are the seven critical elements of WQ:

  • Culture and Workplace Climate Change
  • Transformational Leadership
  • Employee Engagement Reimagined
  • Purpose-Driven Performance
  • Optimistic Workplaces
  • Social Intelligence
  • Community Building

We are not white knights destined to slay corporate dragons. We don’t swoop in and tell you everything wrong with your organization, then leave. Throughout our work together, we help place your leadership team and key employees front and center, right where they should be.

We remember that human beings are out in front of every change management effort.

Together, we make shift happen.

Dave Ellis

Dave Ellis is part of the online force behind WorqIQ’s popular blog, serving as Chief Editor. He also was the Executive Editor of the popular book, “A World Gone Social: How Companies Must Adapt to Survive”. Part-time sesquipedalian and full-time digital “man behind the curtain,” Dave considers the burrito Nature’s perfect food. He also believes there’s an appropriate movie quote for any real-life situation.

Dave is instrumental in WorqIQ success. In fact, he’s so awesome there wouldn’t be a WorqIQ without him. (And… he might have written this bio himself.)

Ron Moll

Ron Damon

In addition to his role as WordPress wizard and editor at WorqIQ, Ron Moll is a highly-accomplished freelance writer, editor, and content developer. He enjoys the written word as much as anyone on the planet. Even in his spare time – especially in the winters of northern Pennsylvania – he learns new ways to appreciate the English language.

A former actor, musician, and public school teacher, Ron has a Master’s Degree in Life from the School of Hard Knocks to go along with a Master’s Degree in English. He is a part-time poet and essayist who concentrates on finding light in the darkness.

Rewarding Results

A Shift in the Workplace

What does it take to create a great workplace?

This is not only a question we help our clients answer – it is one we constantly evaluate ourselves at WorqIQ. So we intentionally integrate philosophies we use to help our clients into our own work habits, climate, and culture.

Both in-house and with every client, our goal is to be empathetic, understanding, and human. But we’re not afraid to adopt a rebellious mindset in our joint quest for results. And while we take pride in our active listening skills, to speed the change journey along we often give direct feedback (think of Dr. Phil saying, “How’s THAT working for you?”). We’re constantly asking the “What if?” “Why not?” and “What’s possible?” questions – and we’ll help you answer them.

At all times, we live and breathe in a “no-fluff” zone that enables us to make shift happen.

We believe that is why our customers and partners love to work with us — and why many become friends and colleagues. Those relationships are also why over 90 percent of our business comes from referrals — and not through traditional advertising or hard-sell tactics.

Our Values

Principles

  • Put family first | We believe it’s critical to put family (and friends) above all else. As a team, we meet our commitments. As individuals, we do the right thing.
  • Be solution oriented | Idolizing problems impedes progress. See a problem? Suggest a solution. Can’t see a solution? Ask a fresh set of eyes to take a look.
  • Gear for growth | The elements of success change constantly. So, we must find new ways to be our best selves. We’re always growing. We never “arrive.”
  • Embrace tough conversations | Work isn’t always puppies, rainbows, and Disney movies. To achieve mutually-beneficial solutions and raise the collective work intelligence (WQ), we start the tough conversations with radical candor.
  • Work with purpose and meaning | We don’t go to work to collect a paycheck. Every day we’re ready to put a dent in the status quo.
  • Know your work | We’re in the business of transformation. We must always know the “Why” that creates significance in our work.
