Discovering Diversity Profile®
Our increasingly diverse society is reflected in an increasingly diverse workplace!

Leading organizations acknowledge that working successfully with others who don’t share the same background, beliefs, or traditions is a top priority in today’s workplace. Employees need help in assessing their behaviour toward people who are different from themselves. And they must understand the benefits of changing negative attitudes and resistance into appreciation and cooperation.

Using these resources helps to support diversity as a business strategy, helps limit the influence of stereotypes, creates acceptance of differences, and capitalizes on the contributions of all.

This learning instrument explores the complex issues surrounding diversity in four key areas: Knowledge, Understanding, Acceptance and Behavior. The personalized narrative feedback in the Individual Report, presents a more meaningful learning experience. Feedback is given on those items that need attention, suggestions for improvement are given and an action plan can be developed.

Time Mastery Profile®
Do you have problems finding the time to get everything done?

Setting priorities and managing time effectively is basic to managing individual and organizational performance.

Work Expectations Profile®
A Personal Learning Guide to increasing commitment and job satisfaction!

Work Expectations are those things people consider likely to happen in their job situation, either now or in the future. Whether spoken or unspoken, met or unmet, expectations have a powerful impact on our thoughts, feelings, and behaviours, and play a key role in driving our attitudes. Research shows that people who have clearly defined, well-communicated expectations find more satisfaction in their work than people whose expectations go unspoken or unrealized. And companies who employ satisfied, successful people reap the rewards of increased productivity and reduced turnover.

The Work Expectations Profile is designed to help individuals identify their expectations in a variety of employment situations. These include team work, transition, organizational change, performance reviews and daily routines.

A gap analysis identifies which work expectation is important, to what degree it is being met, and which work expectation categories need the most attention.
