Organizational Assessments
Square pegs in round holes. That's what staff and the organizations they work for are often like. Supposedly, every person in an organization is there to help the organization reach its goals, but the reality can be far different. Imagine what the difference can be if you can understand and leverage employee talent! By taking time to evaluate the organization's needs along with the abilities of individuals, and then aligning those results will vastly improve effectiveness of the organization and its staff.
C-Cubed takes this one step further. By using knowledge-the strongest modifier of behaviors-C-Cubed can help an organization understand characteristics or behaviors which the organization can adapt to make every situation effective.
Discovering the “HOW” of your organization’s behavior
For these evaluations, C-Cubed utilizes the TTI Performance Systems (Make this a link to explain it early or link to below where it is discussed) behavioral assessments (we believe them to be the best available), based on the DISC model (that examines behavioral styles and preferences), which is considered by many to be the universal language of behavior or how we act.
DISC is a neutral language - there is no right or wrong. DISC simply describes how people approach problems, people, pace and procedures. Based on the DISC methodology, Behavioral Consultant Coach Kevin Tucker partners with organizations in leading them down the following path to meet their needs.
From a "how" perspective, we use the DISC Career Planning InsightsTM assessment. A career choice means an average person might spend 35 years of his or her life mismatched in a career. (Do the math - 40 hours per week for 50 weeks a year for 35 years equals 70,000 hours of his/her life at work!) That's a lot of time performing tasks that are not fulfilling the person's talents and the organization's best need.
To address those mismatches, the Career Planning Insights ProfileTM will assist in aligning your potential employee's Behavioral Style. Research suggests that different behavioral styles excel and are attracted to different occupations. Behavioral styles are a major ingredient in determining the effectiveness of one's career choice. (Also see our flyer on Career Planning InsightsTM.)
If your employee is a mismatch to his or her position, you could be enhancing their life and your organization's success by identifying that misalignment.
Discovering the “WHY” of your organization’s values
The “why” - the values and motivators - is the answer to the rest of the equation.
Do you know what causes people to act - what drives their behavior? What activities, careers and conversations inspire a "passion" within your employees, motivating them to become involved?
The Personal Interests, Attitudes and Values™ assessment measures the WHY of people’s actions, leading to an understanding of what drives the behavior and the attitudes that moves people into a particular action.
With the Personal Interests, Attitudes and Values™ assessment, take control of your decisions. (For additional information, see our flyer on Personal Interests, Attitudes and Values™.)
Another very effective tool is measuring the workplace motivators. Using six critical categories, the Workplace Motivator™ assessment is a validated and scientifically designed tool that detects personal values. For the job seeker, these six motivators will provide the essential elements they will need to strengthen their communication with hiring managers and provide the verbiage that distinguishes their unique talents.
C-Cubed offers two flyers, focused on motivation for employers or for employees, that will give you additional information on achieving workplace success in relation to internal motivators.
The Bottom Line
As you are evaluating your organization and the alignment of your employees to carry out your vision, we would highly recommend looking into the above resources:
For the “how”, the Career Planning Insights™ assessment.
And for the “why”, the Success Insights Personal Interests, Attitudes and Values™ or Workplace Motivators™ assessments, depending on your desired outcome.
Different Assessments
Not all DISC assessments are the same. While there are, literally, hundreds of DISC products out there - none are supported by the 25 years of research and validation of the application of the DISC model supported by Bill Bonnstetter of Target Training International (TTI) - the leader in DISC research, automation and interpretation. What this means to you is that the information you receive in your report is valid and accurate, delivered to you in a format that is extremely usable.
At C-Cubed Career Consulting & Coaching, we have a variety of assessments specifically tested and validated to yield the positive results you need for your bottom line. The samples shown above are only a sampling of what we can offer your organization.
