Discover the Potential of Your Way of Working with the Work Behavior Profile™
The Work Behavior Profile™ is a powerful online tool that provides deep insights into the work patterns of your employees. Based on over 30 years of research by Wyatt and Marilyn Woodsmall, this test helps companies and employees understand how they can perform effectively within the context of their work. The profile provides valuable information about perception, thinking processes, and work organization, enabling employees to fully unlock their potential.
Why Make Work Patterns Visible?
The Work Behavior Profile™ is an addition to the Values Profile™, offering a detailed overview of your employees’ preferred work patterns. Unlike traditional personality profiles, it does not place people into fixed boxes but instead makes it possible to discuss how specific work behavior patterns can be further developed. This makes the tool highly suitable for organizations looking to adapt to new ways of working that stem from desired organizational values.
With the Work Behavior Profile™, you can tailor coaching and competency development to the areas that will have the greatest impact on the growth of your employees. This leads to greater motivation, improved performance, and a significant contribution to the development of their full potential.
