Let’s make it work for you
Overview
As organisations increasingly turn to remote work and employees collaborate as dispersed teams, it’s even more essential that leaders, managers, team members and individual contributors receive the tools they need to strengthen communication, productivity and engagement.
This blended program facilitates increased understanding through personal knowledge of how thinking and behavior affect the work environment - including productivity, team effectiveness and creativity.
Utilising the scientifically-developed and robust Emergenetics® personality questionnaire and model, leaders and individuals learn to leverage their own strengths and develop awareness of what others bring to the table. Teams discover how to communicate and work more effectively by harnessing diverse perspectives.
Companies around the world have used Emergenetics®: Meeting of the Minds to experience a multifaceted approach for building knowledge, fostering understanding and bolstering organizational capacity.
