Personal Profile Analysis (PPA) provides an insight into how people behave at work answering questions such as –
What are their strengths and limitations?
Are they self starters?
How do they communicate?
What motivates them?
PPA enables your people to become more aware of their work style. Only by improving their self awareness will they have the means to consolidate their working strengths and compensate for their behavioural limitations.
It can be used to:
Improve your recruitment process
Increase staff retention
Enable more effective people management
The insights gained from PPA will lead to a greater understanding of why your people behave the way they do and can be used to hone and modify managers’ communication skills.
Once a PPA is completed there are a wide range of reports (See Sample Reports) available which will enable you to appreciate and understand the way your people work.
Key Benefits
- Fast, accurate and cost effective
- Takes only 7-8 minutes to complete
- Eliminates the need for guesswork
- Enables more effective people management
How does Thomas measure work behaviour?
We utilise the Personal Profile Analysis (PPA) - a self-report measure, which assesses an individual’s preferred workplace behavioural style. The Thomas PPA is DISC-based.
How is the assessment done, and what form does it take?
The assessment can be done online or manually, and only takes 10 minutes to complete. A candidate answers a series of 24 forced choice questions.
What will the results show?
The results provide insight into how a candidate will behave at work both generally and under pressure, as well as their preferred communication style, possible limitations and key motivators and fears.
Would you use this only for recruitment?
No, the results from the PPA can be used in many different phases of the HR lifecycle, including: benchmarking, development, team analysis and performance management. See our applications section on this page.
