From a young age, we are taught to ask the five questions – who, why, where, what, and how. We learn that these questions produce insights and lead to answers from which we can act. Throughout our lives, we gain some understanding of who we are, our talents, and why we do the things that we do. But rarely are we taught to understand the where, why, and how we like to work.
When you take WorkFit DX, you will answer a series of questions designed by top social scientists and experts to help you identify your professional fit.
The results of WorkFit DX are divided into three “Domains”—
Approach
Satisfaction in our careers depends on how we do a job, not just the nature of the work performed.
Two people can fill a role equally effectively but approach their work entirely differently. Their success and happiness depend largely on their ability to work in the most effective way for them.
Environment
The average person will spend over 90,000 hours of their life at work. More waking hours will be spent at work than engaged in any other single task.
It is important that you work in an environment where you are empowered to be your best self.
Outcomes
Employment at its root is a contract between employers and employees. Our employers receive the time and results of our efforts, and we are compensated.
Compensation is why we work. There are several varieties of compensation. Assessing the merits of each of these outcomes leads to more strategic career choices.
These 3 Domains represent the “how,” “where, “and “for what” of your employment experience.
The 15 indicators are the personal values, what is important to you, that relate to each domain.
- Autonomy
- Clarity
- Collaboration
- Specialization
- Variety
- Excitement
- Flexibility
- Leadership
- Location
- Sociability
- Predictability
- Purpose
- Remuneration
- Status
- Training
Once all questions are answered (it takes about 15-20 minutes), WorkFit DX results will be provided with your top three key indicators (what you should weigh most heavily when making a decision), your bottom three key indicators (where you might be able to compromise/or bargain away), and an explanation of the significance of your top, bottom and middle key indicators.
Your WorkFit DX results will focus more on the indicators that correlate positively with your employment satisfaction than those that are less relevant to you personally. The WorkFit DX report helps you by offering more detailed insights into what your top values are, right now and a custom-tailored series of questions to ask current and potential employers to help you evaluate your professional options more effectively.
Putting this all together…
