To grow your business, you need human capital that believes in your mission. To retain that talent, you need to know what they value.

Motivators

Motivate and retain passionate employees

Our DISC Plus Assessment not only includes the DISC profile, but it also includes the Values Index Assessment, which scores a person’s top motivators that drives them to take action. This addition of motivators makes WizeHire’s DISC profile the most thorough and powerful personality assessment. People are motivated by different values. To motivate and retain passionate employees, the best thing you can do is put them in a role that utilizes their values.

Find the right motivational fit

Our software not only tells you about their personality fit for a role, but their motivational fit, as well. If someone is a good motivational fit, then a person’s top 3 motivators will align with the values for a position. Depending on how strong the person is driven by a certain motivator determines what they value. For example, if you are strongly altruistic then you will value collaboration over autonomy.
