DISC® is a personal assessment tool which improves work productivity, teamwork and communication
Do you want to know what makes people tick? Why certain teams work well and others struggle?
The DiSC profiling system is an easy to use tool. It’s used to understand people’s communication and behaviour styles. Our coaches are DiSC certified and able to conduct DiSC assessments and debrief results. Thousands of businesses have found this tool key in the recruitment of team members.
The DiSC system was adapted from Dr Tony Alessandra’s work and his development of ‘The Platinum Rule’.
Dr Tony Alessandra’s platinum rule is:
“Treat others how they want to be treated”
The DiSC model provides a ‘common language’. This language helps people better understand themselves and adapt their behaviours with others. Disc is great to use within a work team. It builds a sales relationship. DiSC supports leadership or other relationship development. DiSC leads to better communication, which leads to a happier team who in turn become more productive.
“DiSC profiling has totally changed my recruitment process. It gave valuable insight into the behaviours and qualities of prospective employees. It compared their traits with those required for a role to help show how compatible they are for the job. Using this clever system we’ve invested in key team members. This has had a positive effect on the business.”
