What motivates people to do their best work - to go the extra mile?
Broadly speaking, two kinds of factors shape employee engagement: extrinsic rewards - pay, benefits, promotions, awards and so on - and intrinsic rewards - psychological rewards that fuel engagement by providing a positive emotional charge.
The Work Engagement Profile is uniquely focused on measuring intrinsic rewards and providing insights that can directly affect your organisation’s bottom line because it addresses work engagement at the core level - the employee. The assessment measures four intrinsic rewards: meaningfulness, choice, competence and progress.
This 20-page booklet includes the self-scorable assessment, interpretative information on scores, actionable steps to increase the level of those rewards and a development planning worksheet.

The Parker Team Player Survey (PTPS) is an easy-to-use self-assessment exercise that helps individuals identify their primary team player style - contributor, collaborator, communicator or challenger. They discover how to best use their style for improved team performance and how to adjust the role they play on the team to meet the team’s needs.
Each survey includes complete scoring information, interpretation of the results and feedback materials that help team members understand their primary and less-used styles.
The PTPS is an excellent tool for providing insight when forming teams, as an informative icebreaker activity for newly formed teams or as a development tool for intact teams. It can be used in any training program designed to build stronger, more effective relationships and it is a versatile tool for personal and professional development applications in an organisation.
