Work styles and needs
We deliver the following content via workshops and/or individual coaching session(s).
Understanding yourself, your colleagues and the environment
The more you know about yourself and what makes you relate the way you do to others and the environment, the better you will able to operate effectively at work. The more you understand the styles and needs of others, the less stress you will experience. Individuals who know how they function best, reduce down time and increase their productivity, their communication, and their understanding of their and others working styles.
To gain a good understanding of your style, needs and stress reactions, we use the Birkman Method® which combines motivational, behavioral and interest evaluation into one single assessment. This provides a multi-dimensional and comprehensive analysis, thus reducing the need for multiple assessments. The Birkman Method® identifies the respondent’s everyday interpersonal style (usual behavior), and unlike most other popular assessments, gives unique insights into underlying motivations and needs. Stress behaviors are identified when these needs are not met. Knowing the underlying motivations and the consequences of unmet needs give the coach, consultant, counselor and organizational development professional an effective way to improve workplace performance and reduce conflict.
You will gain an understanding of the five following major perspectives:
- Usual Behavior – an individual’s effective behavioral style of dealing with relationships and tasks
- Underlying Needs – an individual’s expectations of how relationships and social situations should be governed in context of the relationship or situation
- Stress Behaviours – an individual’s ineffective style of dealing with relationships or tasks; behavior observed when underlying needs are not met
- Interests – an individual’s expressed preference for job titles based on the assumption of equal economic rewards
- Organizational Focus – the perspective in which an individual views problems and solutions relating to organizational goals
Workshop: 4-6 hours
Coaching: Is on an hourly basis with the number of hours dependent on individual requirements
