Understanding the personality and motivations of your employees

The Personal Energy Profiles of your team members will give you deep insights into what drives them them and motivates them, what they care about, and what types of things they have natural competencies for.

driving team performance

When it comes to performance, we tend to fixate on the levers of time and talent and ignore energy—the emotion we have for the work we do. But of the three, the research shows that energy matters most. That means we have to go DEEP to understand the energy drivers for our team, both collectively and individually. 

introducing The personal energy profile

The Personal Energy Profile is a personality assessment based on over 20 years of research. It will give you deep insights into your team, allowing you to understand what drives them, what motivates them, what they care about, and even the types of things they have a natural competency for (or may struggle with). 

Step 1 - Get your team on board

First, make sure each member of your team has an account. Once they’ve logged in, simply have them take their Personal Energy Profile, which they can do right from the dashboard.

Step 2 - View EMPLOYEE profiles

Click on the “Employee Profiles” tab at the top of this page to view all the profiles that your team has completed. You can also click on the “Team Profiles” tab to create a composite profile for that team. This will tell you the combined personality (or culture) of that team.

Employee Profile Comparison

Sometimes you want to compare one employee’s personality profile to another employee. Or maybe compare it to a team, or some other composite profile. You can even compare two composite profiles (like comparing one team to another team, for instance if you want to see what personality attributes separate two different teams.) For this, there’s the Employee Profile Comparison Tool.

Candidate Comparisons

In your recruiting, you can give candidates access to a Candidate Profile assessment. You can then compare their results to an individual on your team, or to a composite profile like “Top Performer,” or to the composite profile for the role you’re hiring for. It’s a powerful way to ensure you’re hiring the “just right” candidate. To learn more about the Team Fit capability, visit the Team Fit tool.

Team Engagement

The Energy Profile will tell you what Elements matter most to a team, department, role, or composite profile. You can then run an Engagement Assessment for that same group, which will tell you the degree to which those Elements are either present or absent. You’ll know more clearly than ever what matters, and where to put your focus to increase engagement and performance.

Professional readout

If you ever need help understanding what a profile or engagement report means or how to apply it, our professional consultants are available to go through the details with you, offering you the personalized support and expertise you need to make the most of the incredible insights you now have access to.

THE 5 VOICES OF ORGANIZATIONAL achievement

For organizations to be effective, they must be market driven and employee centered. To be employee centered, you have to deeply understand your employees.
