• More Frequently Asked Questions 

 What are Invalid Profiles? 

• was simply not paying attention to the questionnaire or was somehow distracted and not able to fully concentrate on the responses.
• tried to project an image that is not the real person. For example, the person may believe that they need to be something that he/she is not. Extended DISC^® Personal Analysis will detect this and alert you.
• is under a lot pressure and/or stress. The causes of the stress/pressure can be work related, personal or both.

 How can Extended DISC® identify both my “natural’ style and how I perceive I must adjust my behavior in my work environment?

 I found it a little difficult to complete the questionnaire. In some questions I felt that more than one statement described me well, but in others none of the answers seemed to fit. Why is this?

 Why do I not agree with some of the statements made in my Personal Analysis report?

1. The individual may have already identified a development area and has taken a conscious effort to improve.
2. An individual has a strong bias toward a certain style and believes that his/her style is different from the “true” style.
3. Assessment results are not 100% accurate - nor is the target of the analysis 100% stable. Typically, the underlying reasons relate to some distractions that occur when a person completed the questionnaire or the desire to influence/skew the results. Also, if the questionnaire was filled out under strong emotional distraction, the tool may have responded to that emotional status to the extent that the actual behavioral result became difficult to interpret. Extended DISC^® has many mechanisms to uncover and to prevent this from taking place. However, it is possible that under the above-mentioned situations the results may not completely reflect the individual’s behavioral style.
4. One should always assume that an individual could best assess his/her own style. Therefore, never try to convince a participant the report is “right”. That is not the purpose of Extended DISC^®. The objective is to improve performance.

 Strength Based Tools

NEW  Released January 2009 - Strengths Based Leadership 
   

Nearly a decade ago, Gallup unveiled the results of a landmark 30-year research project that ignited a global conversation on the topic of strengths. More than 3 million people have since taken Gallup's StrengthsFinder assessment, which forms the core of several books on this topic, including the #1 international bestseller StrengthsFinder 2.0.

In recent years, while continuing to learn more about strengths, Gallup scientists have also been reviewing decades of data on the topic of leadership. They studied more than 1 million work teams, conducted more than 20,000 in-depth interviews with leaders, and even interviewed more than 10,000 followers around the world to ask exactly why they followed the most important leader in their life.

In Strengths Based Leadership, bestselling author Tom Rath and renowned leadership consultant Barry Conchie reveal the results of this research and introduce you to a new leadership version of Gallup’s StrengthsFinder program that will provide you with specific strategies for leading with your top five strengths and help you build a stronger team.

The StrengthsFinder 

Do you have the opportunity to do what you do best, every day?

Chances are, you don't? All too often, our natural talents go untapped. From the cradle to the cubicle, we devote more time to fixing our shortcomings than to developing our strengths.

To help people uncover their talents, Gallup introduced the first version of its online assessment, StrengthsFinder, in the 2001 management book Now, Discover Your Strengths. The book spent more than five years on the bestseller lists and ignited a global conversation, while StrengthFinder helped millions to discover their Top 5 talents.

In StrengthsFinder 2.0, Gallup unveils the new improved version of its popular assessment, language of 34 themes, and much more. While you can read this book in one sitting, you'll use it as a reference for decades.

Loaded with hundreds of strategies for applying your stengths, this new book and accompanying website will change the way you look at yourself--and the world around you--forever.


AVAILABLE EXCLUSIVELY IN STRENGTHSFINDER 2.0
(using the access code included with each book)

* The StrengthsFinder 2.0 assessment, fine-tuned to be faster and more accurate

* A Strengths Discovery and Action-Planning Guide featuring: A customized version of your top five theme report; 50 Ideas for Action for building on your top five themes; A strengths-based action plan for setting goals

*And much more on the StrengthsFinder 2.0 website: A strengths community area; Resources, activities, and discussion guides; A strengths screensaver and program for creating display cards of your top five themes.

EMPLOYEE RETENTION IS ARGUABLY THE BIGGEST ISSUE FACING BUSINESS TODAY.

Retention Optimiser is an easy to use cost effective internet based software application that helps organisations improve employee retention, commitment, engagement and productivity.


ABOUT EMPLOYEE RETENTION
Employee mobility rates for many organisations are at record levels and the bad news is that this is likely to get worse as notoriously mobile generation Y employees increasingly dominate the work force – see graph below.

THE COST OF REPLACING AN EMPLOYEE
It is estimated that the average cost to replace an employee is equivalent to 65% of annual salary. Even at an average salary cost equivalent to the average wage, this cost is
$24, 515 per departing employee!


And this is without considering the on costs of losing good people – loss of organisational knowledge and experience, competitors gaining what you lose, disruption to the team, the time taken to find someone new, taken the eye off the needs of customers and of course the risk that the new person may not work out.!


COI's RETENTION OPTIMISER
Retention Optimiser (RO) has been specifically developed to help organisations reduce employee turnover (without necessarily resorting to increased pay and conditions) – to retain good people, keep them committed, engaged and productive.

At the core of the RO tool is COI’s highly regarded 19 Driver business improvement model providing clear understanding of key retention issues (an objective set of baseline measures) - and helping you formulate the best strategies to address these issues.

Using our data base of more that 3.5 million question and answer responses from employees around the world, covering more than 100 organisational issues, RO provides organisations with deep insights into key employee issues and preferred responses.


With this as a starting point RO then helps organisations move effectively to develop and implement retention improvement strategies:

Organisation wide
For particular teams or areas of high turnover or high organisational priority
For particular job categories where good people are particularly difficult to find and retain
RO provides you with the tools to then track your retention progress across the 19 key retention dimensions.

RO is used as an ongoing tool by Human Resource Departments and/or Retention Committees and or various team leaders in order to help build the environment that will retain, engage and motivate valued employees.
