Understand the strengths, challenges, and opportunities within your team in less than ten minutes with ‘DISC' profiling

DISC profiling gives an accurate insight into how people behave at work, allowing HR professionals and business leaders to gain greater certainty when recruiting, and understand how to avoid major issues like staff turnover.

Designed to support teams embarking on a mission to change, profiling enables smarter decisions by providing valuable insights into an employee’s performance that goes way beyond skills and experience.

Using four main profile factors: Dominance, Influence, Steadiness and Compliance, Thomas' Personal Profile Analysis (PPA) provides information on an assessment taker's fears, motivators, values and behaviours.?

Created by organisational psychologists, this analysis provides you with a profile report that amongst many other factors identifies how an individual works at their best, how they cope with pressure and how they interact with others.?

This analysis can help provide a truly open perspective on what’s working and what’s not for everyone in that group.?

Open-up discussions with your team

By providing your team members with one of the best tools to develop a new level of self-awareness and reflection, it opens-up discussions to encourage shared accountability for their own progress and levels of happiness and success at work.?

This process is therefore designed to help you tap into someone’s true potential so that you can learn how to better manage, motivate and engage everyone long term.
