Understanding personal drivers can help identify where individuals are likely to gain most satisfaction from work
Drivers profiles a person’s motivations to determine the amount of energy and effort they are likely to expend in different activities.
The assessment is based on one of the most widely recognised theories of career development and work values, namely, Schein’s Career Anchors model and measures a combination of work-related motivators and values to investigate how compatible individuals are with different work environments.
Understanding personal drivers can help identify where individuals are likely to gain most satisfaction from work. It can also help identify individuals whose work preferences are most aligned with an organisation’s values and work practices and work environment.
