Business EQ Assessment

ASSESSMENTS

The Business EQ assessment measures and raises awareness about the underlying emotional and behavioural traits that drive workplace performance.

What is the Business EQ Assessment?

The Business EQ assessment is a trait based psychometric assessment that measures Business Emotional Intelligence (emotional intelligence in the workplace). It measures and raises awareness about the underlying emotional and behavioural traits that drive performance.

The Business EQ assessment allows you to assess and increase the performance of leaders, teams and managers because it operates at a deeper level on the critical emotions that underpin behaviour.

With over 20 years of research and validation worldwide, the Business EQ assessment provides you with deep insights into the drivers of behaviour, to explore how the management of critical emotions and behaviours is linked to the success of leaders and teams.

“I have found the EBW to be beneficial in giving a greater insight to candidates during recruitment. I particularly like the way the reports focus on Business Emotional Intelligence which results in the nature of the information provided mapping quite readily onto those areas that are applicable to business success.“
