Career
Personality at the heart of
career coaching and planning.
Empower careers with Facet5
When we understand our strengths, how we like to work, what we like to do and where we thrive, we bring conscious choice to our careers. By providing a language and description of our preferred ways of work we can start to build a career that works for us while affirming our personal value and contribution.
Boost Retention and Performance with Strategic Career Conversations Aligned to Personality Traits
Career conversations in organisations help align individual aspirations with business goals, enhancing job satisfaction, and boosting retention. They empower employees to understand and navigate their career paths effectively, fostering a motivated, engaged workforce. This strategic approach not only drives personal growth but also enhances organisational performance.
Our personality plays a crucial role in career conversations by guiding the alignment of our individual traits with suitable career paths and roles. Understanding an employee’s personality helps tailor development plans that resonate with their intrinsic motivations and strengths, ensuring they feel genuinely engaged and valued.
When we apply personality to career
- Support individuals to pinpoint their natural talents and abilities, guiding them towards career opportunities that best align with their inherent strengths.
- It provides insights into how an individual prefers to work, aiding in the selection of roles and environments that enhance job satisfaction and productivity.
- It highlights specific role elements that motivate the individual, crucial for maintaining long-term engagement and enthusiasm in their career.
- It helps with targeted job searches and career development for optimal growth and wellbeing.
- Forms a solid foundation for creating an effective and meaningful career plan, ensuring choices are deeply aligned with personal personality traits.
- Improves career conversations by providing a framework and meaningful information.
The Facet5 Career model
We believe when we understand who we are, what we like to do and how, we create a sense of self-efficacy which can often underpin the courage to do something different, something amazing. Our approach focuses on:
- Helping individuals understand their strengths, and ways of leveraging these across roles
- Defining how they prefer to work, and when they get the opportunity to do so, how work becomes more effortless and enjoyable. It allows them to find a language that helps explain, to others, their preferences and preferred ways of working. Creating clarity and building better relationships
- Clarifying what they are motivated by. In their jobs – past, present and future. While also understanding that this doesn’t restrict them. But rather, gives them a way of understanding what is important, lastly
- The environment in which they thrive. Allowing them to grow and flourish. When we get a sense of connection with others and align with purpose of the organisation, we call this ‘fit’. We all like to feel like we have our tribe.
