Talent Assessment: Inclusive Leadership

Creating a welcoming and supportive environment is critical to fostering a healthy workplace.

Upon completing the analysis, the Inclusive Leadership Report enables leaders to identify priority aspects to focus on with the support of a customized and individual development plan. This plan can include coaching, mentoring and learning to help inspire a more inclusive culture.

The MPM is a comprehensive measure of adult personality. The activity assesses personality through 28 traits covered in 175 questions, answered on a 6-point Likert-based agreement scale. It has been developed at par with modern assessment standards, specifically for use in occupational settings.
