A Best Place to Work, Caring About People
Pivotal is an award-winning firm, recognized as a Great Place to Work in 2024. They are also considered one of the best places specifically for women to work in Canada. Kouba states, “We truly care about people. It’s in the firm’s DNA. My father founded this business forty years ago. Today, in addition to me, my sister, my business partner and his son, we have a team of close to 100 employees across all divisions. We are no longer a mom-and-pop shop, but we still retain the values that my dad built this business on – integrity, loyalty, hard work, focus, and motivation.”
Understanding Current Leadership Needs
As Pivotal’s name suggests, they are instrumental in identifying the leaders that can be pivotal in a client company’s success. “Like a puzzle, we are able to identify leaders with the unique skill sets and experiences to fit particular client needs. Additionally, following the global pandemic, workforce demands have changed significantly. Today’s leaders need to be self-aware, empathic, and emotionally intelligent. These traits build trust and rapport with employees which in turn drives engagement and ultimately productivity,” says Kouba.
IMSA Search Global Partners President, Thierry Goder welcomes Pivotal Integrated HR Solutions as the new IMSA Canada: “Neil and his team are an excellent addition to our worldwide organization.
