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 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
