Extended DISC® Individual Assessments

dreamstimeextrasmall_6524435

The Individual Assessments are self-assessments that identify the strengths and development areas of an individual. What makes Extended DISC® different from other assessments is that it is able to measure the hard-wired behaviors to exclude the impact of the environment.

In practice this means that the results show who the individual actually is and not what the person thinks he/she needs to be in the existing environment. As a result, the report identifies the true strengths and development areas to allow for real performance improvement.

Extended DISC® Work Pair Analysis

dreamstimeextrasmall_6522931The Extended DISC® Work Pair Analysis is a very powerful tool. It is easy to use and very cost effective. It is no wonder that it is so widely utilised. Work Pair Analysis is designed to provide information that allows two individuals to take action that will have a positive impact on their performance.

The Extended DISC® Work Pair Analysis is a tool that combines the results of two individuals into one, user-friendly report. It identifies the styles of individuals, how the styles complement one another, and where the behavior gaps exist.

Work Pair Analysis can help if you are:

spending too much money and time resolving employee conflicts.
unhappy with your current new employee onboarding process.
losing productivity and money due to interpersonal issues.
uncertain how to best assign responsibilities.
forced to make important employee decisions without specific and clear information.
tired of dealing with the same employee issues over and over again.
One of the very popular features of Work Pair Analysis is that it clearly demonstrates that while two similar styles often get along well, they not only amplify their strengths, but also their weaknesses. As a result, their performance is not optimal. Typically the employees are not aware of this fact.
