Understanding work preferences

Understanding work preferences is a critical component in developing individual, team and organisational performance. The Team Management Profile Questionnaire is a 60-item assessment focused on enhancing understanding of an individual's approaches to work.

Work preferences are explored in terms of:

In addition, Areas for Self-Assessment and Key Points of Note enable an individual to develop focused action-plans and improve performance.
