Profiles Workforce Compatibility

The Profiles WorkForce Compatibility™ solution has been designed to provide the two parties to a working relationship – the employee and his/her manager – with an in-depth insight into one another that ensures they know how to work more effectively together.

The new Workforce Compatibility reports are produced from the analysis of the responses of any given manager and one of his/her direct reports. The Workforce Compatibility solution analyses the two sets of results alongside one another, and presents detailed reports on how the two parties can work together effectively.

They provide insight into the seven key characteristics that define the quality of a relationship between a manager and his/her direct reports:

  • Self-assurance
  • Self-reliance
  • Conformity
  • Optimism
  • Decisiveness
  • Objectivity
  • Approach to Learning

Two key reports are provided:

  1. Supervisor Report

The Supervisor Report provides a highly graphical and detailed analysis of the differences in ratings between the manager and the employee for the seven characteristics.

To make it maximally usable for the manager it contains four key sections:

  • The Profiles Summary provides a high level overview of the major working styles for both the manager and the employee
  • The ‘Characteristic Comparisons’ section provides quantitative ratings identifying similarities and differences between the employee and the manager for the seven characteristics
  • The ‘Working Together' section provides specific recommendations on how best to manage the employee based on the similarities and differences in working characteristics
  • The ‘Next Steps’ section provides detailed instructions on how to successfully implement the Profiles WorkForce Compatibility™ solution.
  1. Employee Report

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