Assessments that enable employee life cycle success

Cindy Jacoby and Martha Forlines continue the conversation on how employee assessments can enable greater success in the employee attraction and talent acquisition stage of the employee life cycle. The DISCy Chicks describe how the DISC Behaviors, Driving Forces and Competencies (TriMetrix DNA) is used effectively in the job benchmarking process to get to "why" the job exists. 

Key accountabilities are identified by the subject matter experts that do the work everyday. From the key accountabilities, a more accurate job description can be written and the key requirements identified in order to write ads that attract the talent you are seeking!

Christie Haynes is a senior level executive that has been using the Talent Insights Assessment (DISC Behaviors and Driving Forces) for eight plus years. Listen as she describes how she and her management teams utilized these tools in a number of ways including selection of new hires using the benchmarking process.  Christie and her team found the Talent Insights report  also enabled communicating more effectively with their teams, and delivering feedback in a way that resonates with the individual employee, especially at performance review time. 

Other applications of the assessment are improving team communication and enabling team members to deliver high quality results on the job. She also loves using the team report to leverage the strengths of each of the team members and become aware of her employees' limitations. Many thanks to Christie for sharing these insights of how to leverage the TTISI assessments that can make a difference in successful outcomes for your business!

Join Cindy and Martha as they continue their discussions about the Trimetrics EQ assessment and how  to the value add to you as a leader this report. It combines Driving Forces, DISC Behaviors, and Emotional Intelligence...all in one report. We walk you through a unique way of using this report. The reality is we may be triggered at work when someone says something to us that goes against our primary driving forces. As a leader, how do you learn to control your emotions in the moment when this happens? You react, in this example to the dissonance with your value based motivators, then your behavior takes over, unless you learn how to manage yourself by flexing your EQ muscles with better self-awareness and self-regulation. Maintaining your leadership composure is important so you behave in ways that maintain credibility and trust with your employees. Enjoy!

What is Adaptive Behavior?

Listen as the DISCy Chicks help you understand the importance of your adaptive behavior at work. The truth is we all adapt our behavior at times and particularly when we are at work, not so much at home with family and friends. Our DISC Behavior assessment provider, TTISI has developed a patented method for both a natural behavior style profile to show we communicate at home as well as how we adapt our behavior style at work. We adapt our behavior primarily because of the nature of the work we do and to also "fit in" to the culture of the business. 

Let Cindy and Martha walk you through an example of someone that adapts their profile at work and the why's behind this need to adapt. As a leader, understanding this information enables you to best support each member of your team to perform successfully.

Turnabout is fair play!  In our last podcast, Martha facilitated a DISC debrief with Cindy. This week the tables turn and Cindy reviews Martha's hidden motivators- we call Driving Forces.   The Driving Forces is the WHY behind our behavior and are often hidden, unlike our behaviors, which makes it a little more challenging to be self-aware.


Watch how to debrief this very meaningful part of the Talent Insights report.
