Behavioural Profiling Tools



What is it?
Behavioural Profiling Tools give some insight into a person's behaviour in the workplace.

A behaviour is a response to a situation, so workplace behaviour is someone's response to something that happens at work.The behaviour could be to:

  • Think a particular way
  • Act in a particular way

Behavioural profiling reveals how the person may react to a given situation or environmental stimulant.

The behavioural profiling tools that are used include:

  • Psychometric Tests
  • Self Assessment Questionnaires
  • Surveys
  • 360 degree profiling
  • Behaviourally Anchored Rating Systems
  • Team Profiles

How can it be used?
Behavioural profiling tools may be used as an input of the following processes:

  • Selection
  • Career Planning
  • Succession Planning
  • Performance Management
  • Workforce Planning
  • Development
  • Development planning
  • Organisational Change

Best Practice
HRworkbench® recommends that behavioural profiling be structured and used as a component of a well planned process.

They should be used in an environment where trained facilitators can assist the people being profiled with the interpretation of the profiling and its application to the workplace.
