Profiles WorkForce Compatibility™

The quality of the relationship between Manager (executive, director, supervisor, team leader) and employee significantly impacts employee performance. Managers and employees who understand each other’s style are highly productive and engaged. However, Managers who are "out of sync" with their employees often cause low productivity, dwindling morale and high excessive employee turnover.

The more a Manager understands an employee, the more effective they can be. Profiles WorkForce Compatibility™ is a valuable management tool that combines insight into the unique working characteristics that can impact the employee/manager relationship, along with actionable information on how the employee and Manager can best work together.

Profiles WorkForce Compatibility™ provides insight into 7 key characteristics that define the relationship between an employee and their manager. These characteristics include:

• Self-assurance

• Self-reliance

• Conformity

• Optimism

• Decisiveness

• Objectivity

• Approach to Learning

The Profiles WorkForce Compatibility™ solution includes two reports: The Supervisor Report provides detailed analysis of the quantitative differences in ratings between the Manager and the employee for the 7 characteristics.

The Employee Report provides an employee-centric perspective of the similarities and differences in working characteristics of their Manager, with specific guidance on what they can do to best work with their Manager.

Profiles WorkForce Compatibility™ solution allows Managers to easily create a custom management strategy for every employee in their organization to develop a highly engaged and productive workforce.

When people become more knowledgeable about each other’s uniqueness, differences and areas in common, compatibility increases. More work gets accomplished. Greater engagement results in increased productivity.
