What switches you on, and what keeps you running?
Are you in it for the money? Or is it your career you're working on? Or maybe you get more from helping others, and money and career aren't so important to you.
The Activation assessment also explores what drives us on the inside, keeping us going in whatever direction we set for ourselves.
This assessment will reveal the degree to which three 'external rewards' and five 'internal drives' play their part, not only on someone's on-the-job performance but also in the way they rate their personal satisfaction with what they're engaged in.
To create an even more complete understanding of your activators, we examine each of the factors in three separate contexts: the past, the present and the future.
This assessment completes the picture by showing a person's self-perception of their progress towards their personal goals.
