Work Personality Index® 2nd Edition (WPI)

The Work Personality Index (WPI) focuses on work-related personality traits, helping you identify candidates whose natural tendencies align with the job requirements and your team dynamic. This can lead to better hiring decisions and more cohesive teams.  The assessment reveals an individual's key motivators and behavioural patterns in the workplace. This can help you understand their strengths you can leverage and areas for potential development.

The WPI can help employees understand their work preferences and motivations. This self-awareness can guide their career development and help them find roles where they feel fulfilled and engaged. It can pinpoint areas where an employee might struggle, such as managing stress or working in teams. This allows for targeted development plans to address these challenges and improve overall performance.

In addition, the WPI provides insights into how individuals approach tasks, make decisions, and interact with others. This knowledge can be used to develop leadership skills that resonate with their natural style and enhance their effectiveness.
