What will Discus tell me that I don’t already know?

• Individuals at-a-glance: Keywords and Keynotes provide a management summary of an individual’s most prevalent personal characteristics.
• Sophisticated traits analysis: If you’re still working with DISC profiles that identify Strong, Weak or Simulated traits, it’s time to move up to Discus. Its unique traits model identifies Permanent, Transient, Potential and Inactive traits to provide a more sophisticated and in-depth profile analysis.
• Behavioural adaptation: Discus reveals how individuals are adapting their behaviour to suit the demands of their job role, helping you to understand how they view that role and to assist with their further development.
• Behavioural advantages and disadvantages: Discus gives you essential information about the advantages and disadvantages of an individual’s behavioural style, enabling you to make the most of their strengths and to help improve upon their weaknesses.
• Communication: Effective communication is increasingly important for greater efficiency and productivity. Discus reports on key attributes, such as style of communication and interpersonal skills.
• Decision making ability: How effective is an individual when it comes to taking decisions? Discus shows you how and why a person makes their decisions the way they do.
• Organisation and planning: Discus indicates an individual’s method of formulating their strategy for organising and planning.
• Motivation: Discus analyses what motivates people �?even those who may appear unenthusiastic or uncommitted on the surface.
• Management guidelines: Discus reveals how an individual is likely to perform in a management role. It also suggests the style of management to adopt for each employee, in order to gain optimum performance.
• Measure sales suitability: If the ability to generate sales is important, Discus will tell you how each individual measures up to the challenge �?and pinpoints any needs for further development.
• Interview questions: Discus automatically generates ‘exploratory questions�? helping you to explore an individual’s key strengths and investigate their possible training and development needs. Discus also indicates why each question is relevant and the likely response, based on the individual’s profile.
• Suitability for careers: Discus includes template profiles for a wide variety of positions and roles, allowing each candidate to be assessed for their suitability. You can also create customised profiles for specific jobs and match them against candidates in the Discus database to create a shortlist.
• Working style: Other features of Discus include analyses of how an individual forms relationships, how they act within a team, how much pressure shows up in their profile tension and also identifies their ambitions and aspirations.

It all adds up to an essential profiling tool that helps you to recruit, retain and optimise the performance of the most appropriate people
