WorkStyle Patterns® (WSP™) INVENTORY

WSP™ Alignment Packets

Develop Your Action Plan

The WorkStyle Alignment Process balances the interface between the work people do and the people who do the work.

The WorkStyle Alignment Process helps members of organizations realize how to contribute more effectively at work while using their preferred WorkStyles. They can develop action plans to match their WorkStyle Preferences with the requirements of their current or potential positions. When their individualized alignment plans are put into action, they will experience increased satisfaction and higher productivity through their work. This is accomplished by working through the series of WorkStyle Packets.

WorkStyle Alignment Packets, a six-packet series, help individuals and organizations develop specific action plans to address issues raised by the results of the WSP™ Inventories.

Each packet offers a self-guided process with practical checklists and exercises designed to achieve WorkStyle Alignment. Each also has a single purpose and provides a specific learning experience. Using a combination of Packets, with follow-up work, enables employees to complete comprehensive action plans.

The packet series includes:
1 – Assessment, 2 – Stress, 3 – Transition, 4 – Dialog, 5 – Skills,
6 – Team, 7 – Work Design
