FOUNDERS NOTE
Praeliscere was founded with the understanding that, regardless of company or team size, time is valuable. I experienced firsthand, whether in a leadership role or preparing an activity or training for my colleagues, how I was always pressed for time. I noticed that many of my colleagues faced the same challenge of there not being enough time to research, brainstorm, and create resources before delivering an assessment, exercise, or training.
The idea for Praeliscere started with a document called Personalized Staff Insights. It was a set of insightful questions that I would ask my staff to learn more about them. At the time, the organization I was with was having difficulty with retainment. Utilizing these insights, allowed all colleagues (management and non-management) to create a more personalized employee experience. The moment we could take down the job postings because we had a strong, engaged, and retained team, made me want to share these insights with others.
