BestWork® DATA
BestWork® DATA has developed a simple 25 minute online experience that measures hard-wired traits and abilities that describe how a person thinks, learns and behaves. The DATA presents a clear picture of their unique strengths with regard to any job behavior. It is easy to see what they can do best and what they cannot do. This enables the person or an employer to use their talents to the greatest advantage. Cognitive Assessments speak to capabilities and even the best Industrial Organizational Psychologists will tell you that one cannot statistically tease apart cognitive strengths from values which in turn become behaviors lived in the workplace.

Team Engineering Program

- Normative DATA allows comparison between participants
- Cognitive abilities are included
- Hard-wired personality traits are based on the Big Five factors
- What BestWork measures does not change with training, coaching or incentives
- It is the same at work, at home or wherever
- Participants are aggregated into team composites on individual normative scales
This format provides a full description and mapping of the group’s complete ecosystem. With the DATA, you can engage the client on issues of management, collaboration, performance, communication or anything related to people and their behavior. It includes tools for the team leader, showing how each person will contribute to the team and how to bring out their value within the team. There are tools for each team member showing them how to be more effective within the team and with the team leader. This workshop is ideal for any management team or other type of work group where collaboration and communication is critical. Far from being conceptual, the BestWork® DATA produces real results that become part of everyday work practices. The slide deck for the workshop is provided along with presentation notes. This is a highly interactive program that easily expands into other area of engagement.
