Leadership & Organizational Culture

The MERIT Profile™ is a web-based character and behavioral assessment tool designed to help organizations optimize their hiring practices and employee development efforts. The MERIT Profile provides an excellent view into an individual’s 10 core character competencies, as well as their four primary behavior traits.

The MERIT Profile is delivered in a six-page Recruitment Report used primarily for talent acquisition purposes and a 13-page Employee Development Report used for ongoing training and coaching of leaders and employees. The MERIT Profile data can also be utilized to evaluate how well an individual aligns to the overall culture of the organization (MERIT Culture CQ™) or to a specific project team or division within the organization (MERIT Team Dynamics™).

Additionally, the MERIT Profile data can be used to align with specific job performance criteria through the customization of a performance benchmark (MERIT Performance Index™) for specific individual job position.
