The Ken Blanchard Companies | Diversity Employer

The Ken Blanchard Companies®, is a family-owned firm, founded by Drs. Ken and Marjorie Blanchard. Incorporated in 1979, the organization is based on three simple goals—to make a difference in people’s lives, to drive human worth and effectiveness in the workplace, and to help each organization we work with become the provider, employer, and investment of choice. Now, more than 28 years later, our concepts and processes have been translated into 20 languages and successfully tested by individuals and organizations around the world. Our concepts resonate with people—they make sense—and they work! Our goal—and those of our 28 international offices around the world today remain much the same—to provide leadership and performance solutions that unleash human potential, create engaged employees and customers, and drive organizational results and profitability.

Everyone Deserves a Great Manager

The Ken Blanchard Companies® is a global leader in workplace learning, productivity, performance, and leadership effectiveness solutions. We help companies improve their performance, productivity, and bottom-line results. A good manager, or a bad one, affects every aspect of your organization—employee engagement, productivity, turnover, and profitability. Having great managers doesn’t usually happen on its own. Managers don’t inherently know how to support, develop, motivate, and engage their people. At The Ken Blanchard Companies®, we believe that everyone deserves to have a great manager. As a leadership training and development company for more than 40 years, we’ve been training millions of the world’s best managers…managers who know how to bring out the best in their people, create great places to work, and deliver real bottom-line results for their organizations. Why Blanchard®? We have a fundamental desire to make great things happen for our clients. At every level of our organization, we go out of our way to serve and exceed our clients’ expectations.
