StandOut® powered by ADP®
A strengths-based approach to talent that drives your people to discover their unique edge and win at work.
Strong(er) Leaders
When team leaders understand how to leverage the highly individualized strengths of their team members, your organization wins. StandOut helps your leaders pull the right levers for each unique individual and give their people the attention they need to contribute their best.
Strong(er) Teams
The team is well rounded precisely because individual team members are not. StandOut helps teams understand where team members are at their best and then work better together based on their combination of individual strengths.
Strong(er) Culture
StandOut provides a common language and ongoing reinforcement of the strengths-based approach that helps people contribute and feel their best at work. It not only helps your people succeed — it gives you insights and reporting on where and how that’s happening

Empower team leaders to build on team strengths
Engagement is — and always will be — fluid, which is why most annual engagement surveys fall flat. StandOut is different. It’s based on daily, in-the-field interactions. It asks the questions that measure factors most likely to predict engagement behaviors that lead to performance.
Because 70 percent of employee engagement is due to the team leader,2 StandOut focuses on helping team leaders engage with their teams in dynamic, meaningful ways. Here’s how:
- A strengths assessment reveals to the team leader the unique strengths of each person, because strengths are the key to unlocking outstanding performance
- Personalized coaching — based on the practices of the world’s best leaders — is delivered to team leaders to support them in having weekly, light-touch conversations with team members about near-term work
Separate measurement from acceleration
Performance measurement and performance acceleration are two different practices, with different needs. Most goal-setting, ratings and competency tools tend to mash them together, solving neither effectively.
StandOut empowers team leaders to drive team performance by separating measurement from acceleration:
- To drive performance acceleration, leaders receive personalized coaching and tools to support weekly check-ins with team members — one of the most effective practices for motivating employees
- To drive effective measurement, StandOut offers a proprietary feedback system that neutralizes the “unconscious rater bias” most leaders employ, which means their ratings tend to reflect themselves and not the person being rated
Fuel individual performance through team leaders
All companies face the challenge of understanding how to measure leader performance and its effect on the organization. Research has shown that high engagement starts with the team leader.
Drive results for your organization by empowering your leaders to turn natural talents into extraordinary employee performance. StandOut delivers a proprietary, proven method to engage leaders and teams through impactful weekly check-ins, coaching and insights focused on near-term work.

StandOut has been a game changer for our teams. Initially I questioned whether we needed this, but within the first few weeks I knew what my team enjoys, where they struggle, and most importantly what they need to win. No other tool does that with so little overhead on a weekly basis.
