Insights into the way in which people will behave in a work environment are invaluable. Having technology to accelerate this insight is one of the major benefits of the current online and software capabilities available.
We use
Discus, a work style or behaviour assessment tool for use in personal development, recruitment and training. Based on internationally established DISC theory,
Discus gives powerful insight into an individual's prevalent behavioural characteristics. Compared to other profiling systems,
Discus is more revealing, delivers more sophisticated results, and is more cost effective.
You will learn things that you don't already know, quickly and comfortably...
The
Discus questionnaire takes only 10 minutes to complete, online or on paper. The easily understood and comprehensive report provides a detailed analysis based on four key characteristics of an individual's behaviour: Dominance, Influence, Steadiness and Compliance. An individual profile helps you learn more about:
- Personal characteristics - in communication, interpersonal skills, decision making, organization and planning.
- Motivations - that drive commitment and engagement.
- Behavioural advantages and disadvantages - to make the most of strengths and identify potential weaknesses.
- Management guidelines - both how the individual is likely to perform in a management role and how their manager may have to adapt to get the best from them.
- Career suitability - against tested templates for a wide variety of positions and roles, or custom templates built specifically for your organization.
- Relationship management – to assess the compatibility and perceptions underlying the interactions between two people.
Your
Discus Profile Report comes with detailed information and a guide to help you interpret the information. Even more help is available online. Our professional consultants are also available for individual coaching, or to develop and facilitate group sessions.
The result: clear, objective information for better decision making.
