The DISC assessment model provides a universal language that people can use to understand themselves better and to adapt their work behaviors within a work team or working environment. The DISC assessment program asks a set of pre-defined questions that provide a detailed report about participating employee personalities and related behaviors, including responses to conflict, personal motivations, natural problem-solving abilities, and stress-causing factors in the workplace.
The outcomes of the individual reports are then utilized to improve working relationships between employees, teach positive conflict resolution techniques, facilitate improved teamwork and communication skills. Armed with this information, management can create and implement strategies that help individual employees overcome the challenges of working with people of different DISC styles.
These results are useful as an aid to structure and direct team-building exercises that strives to build a collaborative work environment.
In summary, the fundamental aim of the DISC assessment questions is to facilitate in-house team collaboration to ensure employee collaboration, which in turn will improve business competencies, improve sales figures, and ultimately, the company’s bottom line.
