The DISC workshop is one of the best ways to help team members understand their individual strengths, tendencies and how they interact with other people. This is a critical component of establishing an effective and productive work culture.
Whether you are trying to build a new high-performing sales team or a cohesive management group, the right tools can make all the difference in creating a cohesive and productive work environment. The DISC personality assessment can be an invaluable tool to help teams forge stronger relationships, break down communication barriers and increase their overall effectiveness.
Team members from every department and level of the organization can benefit from understanding DISC. The workshop will help them develop a common language to use among themselves and when working with outside clients or partners. In addition, it can also help long-standing or stuck teams with the insight needed to surface patterns that contribute to sub-optimal results.
When implementing DISC workshop for team assessment activities, the key is to monitor and compare team performance metrics before and after the implementation. This includes measuring project completion rates, quality of work and the ability of your team to collaborate effectively with others.
You can also assess the impact of your DISC-based activities by conducting regular feedback sessions with your team. These sessions provide an opportunity for everyone to express their experiences with the DISC-based activities and how they have helped them improve their interactions with other team members.
DISC can be difficult for individuals to grasp on their own, but once they learn about their work styles and the preferences of other people, they begin to see how the different styles interact. Getting team members on board with the DISC system takes time and training.
When introducing the DISC system to team members, start by providing an informational packet for each person with their DISC profiles and descriptions of other people’s styles. You can either print out the sheets for each team member or share digitally. Allow participants to mark or highlight sections that are relevant to them, circle areas they don’t understand and ask questions.
The DISC workshop is the next step in understanding the information contained in their DISC profile and determining what it means for them in terms of building better relationships with other team members. It also provides insights on the priorities that drive them in their workplace and how those differ from other’s.
During the three-hour workshop, participants dive deeper into understanding their own work style and how it impacts their interpersonal communications. They will explore their own priorities and what challenges them when working with other DISC styles. They will create strategies to overcome these challenges and develop an action plan. This is a highly interactive and fun workshop that incorporates group activities, role-playing sessions and frank discussions to keep participants engaged and learning. It is an ideal training program for newly formed teams, management training, leadership development and sales or marketing groups. Contact us to learn more about our DISC training programs.
