Workforce Optimization Consulting for High-Performing Teams

Workforce Optimization Consulting is a by-quote engagement in which founder Liz Adriano works with your leaders and teams to evaluate and optimize the workspace and workflows where your teams perform. It draws on her nearly 15 years of Fortune 500 leadership, Lean Six Sigma project experience, and her IBCCES Certified Autism Specialist training. Every recommendation is informed by cutting-edge neuroscience and psychology research on attention, stress, and sensory processing, so your workspace powers the focus, decision-making, and peak performance your organization depends on.

Engagements begin with an online sensory-friendly workspace assessment, continue with an on-site audit and prioritized report, and can extend into a full Lean optimization engagement with baseline metrics, workspace redesign, and measured follow-through of productivity and morale improvement results.

Every engagement is quoted by scope after your consultation call, based on the size of your workspace and team, project complexity, and the outcomes your organization wants to achieve.

Dr. Weber and colleagues found that adjustments to sound and lighting were most consistently linked to better performance and wellbeing at work, and that sensory overload is one of the most common workplace challenges for neurodivergent employees. Optimizing your sensory environment supports every member of your team to excel and deliver their best.

Yes. Optimization Consulting strengthens the workspace and workflows your teams perform in, and many organizations pair it with Workforce Wellbeing Consulting, which assesses stress, engagement, and retention factors across your teams and leadership. Together, improvements to your environment and your teams reinforce each other, delivering maximum impact to your bottom line.

Workforce Optimization Consulting is available to organizations across the United States, on site or virtually. On-site engagements outside Scottsdale, Paradise Valley, Phoenix, and the greater Phoenix East Valley include T&E expenses tailored to your destination and project, confirmed when your engagement is scoped.

Every team performs better in a sensory-optimized workspace. Dr. Doyle's research found that up to 1 in 5 people are neurodivergent, and Dr. Leekam's research at Durham University found that more than 90% of children and adults with autism experience sensory sensitivities across multiple senses. Because sensory distractions affect focus for every employee, organizations with open offices, hybrid workspaces, R&D and production environments, hotels, resorts, restaurants, and retail spaces see the strongest results, as our consulting delivers prioritized adjustments that sharpen focus, streamline workflows, and elevate performance for every employee and leader.

Your sensory environment shapes how long guests and shoppers stay and how much they enjoy your space. Researchers at the University of Manchester and Unilever found that loud background noise significantly reduced how strongly diners tasted sweetness and saltiness, and Dr. Milliman's research at Loyola University New Orleans found that slower background music increased supermarket sales by 38% compared with faster music. For hotels, resorts, restaurants, and retail spaces, a sensory-optimized environment keeps guests and shoppers comfortable longer, elevating their experience and your revenue potential.
