The key to success in the world of smart businesses is the ability to ask for professional expertise at the right time. Behavioral assessments fulfil every organization’s need to plug the gaps with expertise so that smart decisions can be made.
Adecco’s American Workplace Insights Survey 2009 delves into suggestions made on career choices to American college graduates. They include:
• 71% of former college graduates advised the next batch to choose a career they like rather than because of its earning potential.
• Only 13% advise students to choose a career based on the salary.
Clearly, ‘liking a job’ is related to an individual’s thinking, values and vision more than anything else.
DISC Profile: Factors to Consider
A DISC profile serves as a scientifically valid psychometric profiling tool that enables organizations to eliminate guesswork and uncertainty. Factors to consider are detailed below.
Job Fit: Every team and its members need to fit well with the job.
This involves:
• core competence and capability to do the job well
• conduct a proper match of their skillsets
• plan for learning new skills and implementing them to the needs of the job
Interpersonal Awareness: This involves finding how employees can ‘flex’ their:
• skills
• behaviors
• strengths to work with the rest of the team
Job Clarity: This involves:
• Knowing what the job role entails
• Imbibing the organization’s vision and goals
• Clarifying the tasks periodically
