WHY ASSESSMENTS?
Data trumps hunches and prevents bias from corrupting important decisions. Throughout the latter half of the 20th
Century, Fortune 500s relied on behavioral & cognitive assessments to inform all aspects of their personnel decisions—
from an employee’s initial selection and training to their team role and eventual promotion. These paper based
assessments had to be individually calculated by a highly trained professional, making them too expensive for most
organizations to afford. However with the advancement of new computer technologies and algorithms, the cost of such
assessments has dropped measurably, leveling the playing feld for businesses of all sizes.
What is DISC?
DISC is one of the most widely-used performance enhancement tools, by companies large and small, to achieve their goals. As the leading self-assessment tool, millions of people use it annually to improve productivity, teamwork, and communication.
DISC Overview
A smooth and high-functioning workplace does not happen by accident. It requires an intentional blending of talent, motivation, clearly communicated and understood objectives, and much more to reach optimum performance.
The DISC profile is a simple, practical, and easy-to-remember model that focuses on individual patterns of observable behavior and emotions. It measures the intensity of characteristics using scales of directness, openness, pace, and priority to create a unique blend of four behavioral styles:
- Dominance (D)
- Influence (I)
- Steadiness (S)
- Conscientiousness (C)
WHY ASSESSMENTS?

The right person in the right job is priceless. The
wrong one is a nightmare waiting to happen.

interview, make scientifcally informed judgments and
build an organization of A+ employees.

Empower them to identify— to your organization’s
advantage— observable behaviors, then adapt their
selling style to ft the customer’s buying style.

organization and care about your customers. Better
equip and train your customer support team with the
invaluable communication and behavior profling skills
that pay countless dividends.
Increase Productivity

shortcomings of each employee. Create observable
action plans, from the data, that maximize your
organization’s talent.
Reduce Employee Turnover
Ensure the best possible positional job “ft” for each
new hire. Great ft means stronger retention rates,
which lowers the costs associated with turnover.
Customize Employee Training
One size fts ONE, not all. Learn how each person
learns best and get them back to productivity sooner.
Model Team Building
Know who fts with whom in advance. Create your
teams based on compatible skills and traits, not
just generic ideas of balance. Top-level teams are
comprised of behaviorally compatible members with an
optimal array of complimenting proficiencies.
When a person uses the DISC model, they can identify their own blend of styles, recognize and adapt to the styles of others, and develop a better communication process that allows them to interact effectively with others to build mutually beneficial relationships. This is applicable in any setting, including working with teams, sales, leadership, or in other business and personal relationships.
