it's helping other people be better, picking people up the collective groups better than the individual.

encorajando pessoas
Encouraging people to "lift" them in the workplace.
I don´t think this text has been too well written.
The next phrase "the collective groups better than the individual" - I understand this to mean that, as "teamwork produces better results than an individual alone".

: Penso que é isso: incentivar mais o trabalho em equipa do que o trabalho individual.

dando preferência às pessoas
O que talvez queiram dizer:
"...it's helping other people (to) be better, picking people up the collective groups (rather) than the individual."
"...é contribuir para o aperfeiçoamento das pessoas, dando preferência às pessoas inseridas em grupos coletivos em relação aos grupos individuais."
"...it's helping other people (to) be better, picking people up the collective groups (rather) than the individual."
"...é contribuir para o aperfeiçoamento das pessoas, dando preferência às pessoas inseridas em grupos coletivos em relação aos grupos individuais."
Discussion
É melhor buscar um esclarecimento ou pelo restante do texto, ou, em último caso, consultando o cliente.
O problema é que nesse caso "collective groups" seria um pleonasmo.
Por isso que acabei interpretando: grupos individuais x grupos coletivos, seja lá o que isso for.
@Isadora- Tendo em vista que a redação da frase realmente dá margem à dúvidas, talvez seja o caso de consultar o cliente.
"To pick someone up", para mim tem esse sentido: o de levantar a moral, aumentar no bom sentido, unir esforços em conjunto.
"to improve an activity or increase an amount"
