Understanding Your Workforce

A successful organisation needs talented employees who are engaged and motivated but are you confident that you are offering an environment to support their individual personalities, working styles and learning preferences? Is your workforce the best they can be?

Teams who work well together are the engine room of a highly productive business. Psychometric profiling, often referred to as personality profiling, increases self-understanding and helps sustain effective working relationships, allowing employees to perform at their highest level.

Transform the way you do business

The Insights Discovery Personal Profile, included as part of a personal development programme, gives your workforce an engaging, reinforcing and transformational insight into themselves and others. Businesses who understand the benefits of psychometric profiling use this tool to support them on their journey to more effective working by improving communication without conflict. It not only helps their employees understand who they are, but they get a greater understanding of the unique personalities of their colleagues and how to bring out the best in themselves and those around them.

Let’s get personal

This profiling model uses a simple, memorable four colour-energy model to illustrate people’s understanding of their own styles, strengths and the value they bring to their team. Identifying your unique mix of fiery red, sunshine yellow, earth green and cool blue energies will determine how and why you act the way you do.

Using the information

Following this self-awareness assessment, employers will understand the impact of individual styles, learn how to build effective relationships within their teams, strengthen partnerships and improve positive communications. Organisations carry out psychometric profiling for many reasons, here are the top four benefits for businesses.

  1. Personal Development. Employers are able to identify strengths and weaknesses as the assessment opens up honest conversations and enables employers to explore self-awareness.

  2. Management Styles. Understanding how someone ticks is a very effective management strategy. This profiling is for everyone within an organisation; managers who complete the process will learn how their own leadership style can impact the effectives of their team.

  3. Project Assignment and Team Working. The profiling explores trust, vulnerability, identifies leadership qualities and those who love ‘doing the do’, using this information employers can be better placed to create highly functioning and balanced teams.

  4. Promotes Healthy Change. This profiling arms employers with the information they need to become agile, resilient and how best to support their colleagues.

Using the profiles effectively businesses can tackle challenges to encourage a highly productive and motivated workforce. With the support of Insights Discovery, employers can create tailor-made development plans to improve effective communication, management styles, sales performance, customers relationships and how to create the ideal working environment to inspire their workforce to perform at their best.

Keep the momentum going

Having your personality analysed may be one of the most interesting programmes an employee will take part in, but the lessons learned from the profiling should continue once they return to their roles. This is just the start of how your organisation can build confidence in your workforce to adapt and interact with others successfully. The impact on their new-found awareness will be tangible and often life-changing.

Embrace the learning, break the barriers and strive to be the best you can!
