What do companies that use personality testing know that you don’t?

This complimentary webinar looks at personalities in the workforce. Participants will learn the basics behind personality assessments and how an understanding of employee’s personalities can lead to increased engagement, better performance and communication, and overall workplace satisfaction.

Employees are most effective at work when their strongest personal traits are engaged. Understanding the science behind personality traits is essential for companies and managers to properly engage and develop an optimized workforce.

How the Netherlands Increases Productivity and Employee Performance by Understanding Personalities.

The Netherlands is one of the most productive and prosperous countries in the European Union with very strict labor laws. The combination of a strong market and strong labor protections has created a pressure cooker for companies seeking the best solutions for selecting, promoting, and moving employees to their most productive positions.

Personality testing is used directly by organizations, both public and private, and by over 2000 selection and coaching bureaus in the Netherlands. Why is personality testing used so much, and so successfully, in this environment and how can the lessons learned there be applied to helping your organization today?

Bonus: Participants will be given a coupon code for a free personality test to learn more about themselves and help them develop a ‘vocabulary’ for speaking about personality in the work place.

Presented by: Bert Goos, (LinkedIn profile) CEO Online Talent Manager, business psychologist, career transition & personal branding coach.

In this webinar, AccuRev’s Chris Lucca (LinkedIn profile) will explain:

• The reasons developers choose to use Git as their SCCM tool
• The hidden risks of using Git across an enterprise that often lead to costly manual workarounds
