Which company wouldn’t like to improve morale, increase productivity, reduce staff expenses, enhance quality of team work and take performance to peak levels?

An approach that strives to achieve these is the behavioural profiling of business teams.

Corporate training expert Anita Kropacsy said behavioural profiling is growing in popularity in Australia and New Zealand to build or modify the foundations for effective work teams.

“Having a fully functional, cohesive and productive team is a major contributor to a successful business or organisation,” said Kropacsy.

“Behavioural profiling is all about greater understanding of yourself, your staff, how your team can work more effectively as a unit and also what else you may need in your team.”

The Corporate Training Manager for Corporate Challenge Events said behavioural profiling is different from psychometric testing which highlights factors such as if someone is an introvert or an extrovert.

“More and more research in business is showing that this type (psychometric) of information has little bearing on business performance.

“It is more useful to discover how someone behaves in a particular work situation which is why behavioural profiling is important.”

Kropacsy said the benefits of behavioural profiling will stretch across all parts of any business.

“It will help with the recruitment of staff, building emotional and social intelligence, the ability to give and receive robust feedback, and identifying what creates an effective team within your own unique workplace culture.”

She said one of the best models used today for behavioural profiling is Belbin.

“A Belbin behaviour profile is a simple yet very clear explanation of what a person’s strengths are within a team and what others within the team value in that person.

“It’s an incredibly effective tool for identifying who you need on which team to get a specific outcome in the fastest possible time frame and with the right amount of people.

“Ultimately a Belbin behavioural profiling workshop will equip people with the knowledge on how to maximise everyone’s strengths for an effective, agile and lean team.

“It’s based on solid science yet simple enough to enable people to immediately understand and apply it to everyday tasks.”

Kropacsy said it was important to reinforce that profiling doesn’t judge, it enlightens.

“No profile is good or bad, or right or wrong. It’s purely about ‘fit’ for a role in the context of your own career or business.

“A profiling workshop will identify how various behavioural styles are represented in an individual and where the strengths and gaps of the team lie.

“It will also unveil which of your own behavioural patterns are effective in the type of work you do, and equally, which of your patterns may hinder effectiveness.

“Knowledge is power as they say. Gaining this greater knowledge and understanding will go a long way in building a powerful team.”
