What is DISC Profiling?
Understand People's Work Behaviours
InterACT’s DISC profiling behaviour assessment is a simple, yet powerful psychometric tool designed to help you better understand yourself and others, while offering businesses in Australia with effective strategies to engage and retain their best staff in the workplace.
What Does DISC Measure?
DISC is a workplace framework that provides an indication of a person’s preferred behavioural styles across various work contexts. The four main factors of this framework are Dominance, Influence, Steadiness and Compliance – from there the acronym DISC.
DISC profiling can help to identify what drives the behaviour of an individual at work, their preferred communication styles, behavioural strengths and possible development areas. The results can also indicate the level of alignment between the individual and the job/context.
Dominance
People who measure high on Dominance tend to be assertive and results-driven. Usually being quite competitive by nature, they like to seek out difficult challenges. They usually communicate in a direct, straightforward manner.
Influence
People who measure high on Influence tend to focus on people, and their social relationships with others. They are generally very optimistic and persuasive, making them naturally good at networking and sales.
Compliance
People who measure high on Compliance are logical, systematic and precise. They generally focus on following established guidelines, with an emphasis on maintaining quality, often making them natural administrators.
Steadiness
People who measure high on Steadiness tend to be extremely persistent, reliable and methodical in their work. The are usually patient listeners, who are friendly, sincere and easy going with others.
The Benefits of DISC Profiling for Businesses in Australia
DISC profiling behaviour assessments have been used by businesses in Australia for decades to make better hiring choices and manage their people more effectively.
Recruitment
Use DISC profiling to assess all areas of current and potential performance that are relevant to the job position under consideration. Make well-informed, successful recruitment decisions that can reduce human capital costs in the long run.
Engagement
Harness the full potential of people and keep them engaged and motivated. Businesses in Australia using DISC profiling behaviour assessments have a better understanding of what drives their people, what is most likely to de-motivate them, and how they can be managed to perform at their best.
Development
Utilise DISC to identify and develop talent more effectively. Businesses often hire skilled candidates, only to find they are a poor behavioural fit for the role. Behaviour can be difficult to modify. However, with the right behaviour profile skills can easily be taught.
Retention
DISC behaviour assessments offer businesses in Australia with an objective and reliable method for hiring and managing talent. Poor hiring choices often lead to hiring remorse and poor staff retention in the long run.
Leadership
Identify the behavioural profile required for a leadership or management role. DISC profiling helps to train leaders to effectively engage and motivate employees and optimise their performance at work.
Conflict Management
Equip managers with the tools and knowledge necessary to manage conflict and dueling personalities. Develop strategies to turn conflict into positive outcomes and create long-term solutions for your business.
