It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that keeping employees happy revolves around a few things: a decent remuneration, a job role that is aligned with their skills and expertise, and to feel appreciated for their efforts. However, there is no magic button that we can push to create the ideal workplace or team. Developing high performance teams requires leaders to take deliberate actions — by understanding the strengths, blind spots, and needs of each team member. This is where personality assessments comes into the picture. But, with the internet and social media overflowing with short and free personality quizzes that deliver fun results, what does the future hold for personality assessments such as the Workplace Big Five?
Join us in this final community of practice event for 2022, as we catch up with fellow certified Workplace Big Five Profile™ practitioners to explore some common myths about personality assessments.
*This event is for certified Workplace Big Five Profile™ practitioners only.

About this event
A study by McKinsey & Company across five key geographies (Singapore included) reported that 40% of employees are likely to leave their current job in the next 3 to 6 months. As employees are the backbone of any organization, talent retention and attraction are ever more critical to the company’s success.
So how do you attract and retain top talent? You want to hire the best people possible for the team. But finding them isn’t always easy. And once they join, keeping them engaged, motivated and to stay on can be challenging.
Join us live on 18th March 2022, 3 - 4pm, for some talent acquisition and employee retention strategies to ride through the current great resignation wave.
