For more than 25 years Thomas International has been a global provider of objective management systems and business assessment tools. The CIPD Scottish Conference is the largest human resources event in Scotland, attracting over 500 HR professionals.

We will be demonstrating our comprehensive range of assessments and tests. Each visitor to the stand will be entitled to a FREE behavioural assessment, Personal Profile Analysis. Personal Profile Analysis (PPA) provides an insight into how people behave at work answering questions such as – what are their strengths and weaknesses? Are they self starters? How do they communicate? What motivates them? PPA improves an individual’s self awareness so that they can consolidate their working strengths and compensate for their behavioural limitations.

The programme for the 2009 CIPD Scottish Conference, ‘Switched On’, has been specifically designed to cover many of the issues that are currently high on organisations’ business agendas – vital that organisations do not become too insular, switching off from the bigger picture.

Peter Farrow, Managing Director Thomas International comments "We are all affected by the current economic climate. Challenging market conditions expose weaknesses in your business, and people issues will have an increasing impact on company performance. When times are tough it is more important than ever you get the best from your employees. In order to do this you need to begin with a strong platform of awareness and understanding. For individuals this means not only an awareness of self but also an understanding of how others within the organisation perceive them.”

“Thomas offers a comprehensive range of assessments and tests including personality and behaviour, emotional intelligence, aptitude and ability, skills testing and training, team profiling, job profiling and 360 feedback. These tools provide a powerful resource for any organisation looking to dramatically increase its performance levels and increase profitability.”
