Robert Gardner | Managing Partner

I have overall responsibility for Axsium’s business, and my focus is on ensuring that we exceed our clients’ expectations.  It starts with attracting, retaining and developing the best talent in the industry and then providing them with a rewarding environment in which they can succeed.  I also work with Axsium’s leadership team to translate our vision into innovative yet practical service offerings that ensure our clients achieve a significant return on their workforce management initiatives.

On Leadership

The goal of leadership is simple: bring out the best in others.  But, the value of leadership does not stop there.  In fact, leadership doesn’t have a starting or stopping point.  Strong leadership continually encourages, empowers, and most importantly rewards.  Strong leadership encompasses everything we do at Axsium.  It not only affects what we do; it helps our clients and our strategic partners reach their full potential as they embark on critical workforce management initiatives. 

On Axsium

In seven years, Axsium has grown to be the largest, independent workforce management practice with operations in the Americas, EMEA and APAC.  Our success is a direct result of our clients’ successes.  We help organizations regardless of industry maximize the return they get from their workforce management initiatives.  We do this through our service offerings which are tailored to help organizations at any stage of the workforce management life cycle and through unmatched experience with the leading workforce management solutions.  We do this purposefully on a broader level through our thought leadership and research.

On Workforce Management

The opportunity for workforce management to strengthen an organization is immense, and a workforce management initiative should be high on the value chain for any executive due to its proven return on investment.  This return is based on increased productivity, improved compliance, lower costs and increased employee satisfaction.  In this way, workforce management is unique in that it benefits both the employer and the employee.
