Extended DISC Personal Analysis

The Extended DISC® Personal Analysis is one of the most popular behavioural tests in the world. Last year it was used on more than a million people using 55 different languages.

The system has a strong ability to provide information to make better decisions. Too often assessments tell us what we already know: “Oh yes, that’s me.” If a tool only provides information that the user is already aware of, it has very limited value.

The Extended DISC® Personal Analysis are designed to provide information that makes an impact, is actionable and, most importantly, has a positive impact on performance.

The Extended DISC® Personal Analysis are self-assessments that identify the strengths and development areas of an individual. What makes Extended DISC® different from other assessments is that it is able to measure the hard-wired behaviors to exclude the impact of the environment.

In practice this means that the results show who the individual actually is and not what the person thinks he/she needs to be in the existing environment. As a result, the report identifies the true strengths and development areas to allow for real performance improvement.

The Extended DISC® Personal Analysis is very easy to use. The online questionnaires take only 10 minutes to complete. The results are used for:

• organisational development

• leadership development

• team development

• sales/team/management training

• individual development

• recruitment / internal transfers

• coaching

• performance management

Personal Analysis integrates with other Extended DISC® tools. Once a person has completed the questionnaire other analysis can be created from the present data such as Work Pair Analysis, Team Analysis and 360 degrees Feedback.

• What are Invalid Profiles?
• What are the Additional Style Assessments?
• 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?
• Does a long arrow indicate a problem?
• 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.

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.
