People at work behave differently, which is why behavioral assessments are vital. They have gained greater importance because businesses realize that it is employees who represent an organization’s competitive edge, competence and capability.
Some easy ways to motivate different high potential employees are:
• Identify the potential of each employee
• Provide opportunities to exploit the potential
• Formulate a plan of action to set clear expectations
• Encourage new behaviors from each employee to master new skills
• Coach, critique and mentor the performance
• Measure the results using a game format or an easy scorecard
• Establish the link between behavior and the ability to meet set goals.
DISC Assessment and Motivation
DISC assessment reports an employee’s style of behavior, covering its inherent strengths and shortcomings. Some profiles show a combination of factors. This leads to complex interpretations.
In 1968, Frederick Herzeberg’s article titled, “One More Time, How Do You Motivate Employees” was published in Harvard Business Review. It stated:
• Motivate employees by enriching their jobs but it works only for some employees.
• Challenge them intellectually to augment their psychological satisfaction from their work. Not all employees will appreciate intellectual stimulation.
• For individuals who seek out situations where they know they will excel, job enrichment can be a threatening concept.
