The Birkman Assessment
The Birkman is a Tool. The business Question comes First.
We use The Birkman when understanding needs, behaviors, and stress patterns will help a leadership team address a real business or decision issue. We don’t start with an assessment and go looking for a problem.
The only assessment that captures individuals' underlying needs
- By understanding one’s own needs, individuals are better able to recharge, stay motivated, and avoid stress behavior.
- By understanding an employee’s needs, a manager is able to provide support to improve morale, increase productivity, and better facilitate communication.
Examine personality and perceptions in a business and social context
- The social context of a person’s behavior promotes better self-management and awareness of their own extremes relative to social norms.
- By seeing the ways others perceive the world, an individual can better respect and empathize with their colleagues.
Behavioral and occupational data combined in one assessment
- The Birkman Method measures how employees relate to the people around them through their communication style, giving insights into potential gaps in an organization’s communication or culture.
- The Birkman Method provides data on the typical interests, behaviors, and needs of individuals across a variety of job fields, so respondents can see how closely they match the complete personality profiles of people established in different careers.
