Workplace Nordic 360º
Achieve more with feedback
How does your own personality come across in your workplace?
You have already got to know yourself via the WorkPlace Big Five Profile™, and you now know your natural behaviors and comfort zones. Excellent! Would you also like to see yourself through the eyes of others? Have you ever wondered whether others perceive your personality the way you do?
Workplace Nordic 360º
Providing basis for developing one’s behavior
WorkPlace Big Five Profile™ does not measure performance, whereas the Workplace Nordic 360° assessment does, by measuring the person’s behavior as it appears to others. The idea of the Workplace Nordic 360° assessment is to make visible how somebody’s personality shows to others when collaborating. This information forms a useful basis for developing your behavior and for recognizing areas that drain your energy.

Examining behavior and actions in work contexts
Workplace Nordic 360° assessment complements the WorkPlace Big Five profiling and provides a basis for developing one’s behavior in various contexts.
The Workplace Nordic 360° examines the person’s actions and behavior in the work setting by way of the 23 WorkPlace Big Five subtraits such as worry, sociability, change, reserve and methodicalness.
The standard report contains (in addition to self-assessment) the following rater groups:
- immediate manager
- colleagues
- direct reports
- others
The assessee and all the raters answer the same questions. Rater groups are customizable. Assessments are made anonymously and, excepting the immediate manager, the answers are not linked to specific people.
The WorkPlace Big Five profile is usually not repeated (= personality remains constant). The 360° assessment, however, is repeated, and it’s well suited for following up on behavioral development (= we can change our behavior).
What our customers are saying?
I have used the Workplace Nordic 360° tool together with the WorkPlace Big Five Profile to develop and plan management group and team work. Workplace Nordic 360° answers the question that often arises after completing the Workplace Big Five Profile: “If this is what my self-evaluation looks like, I wonder how others see my behavior in different situations?” In addition to making your personality visible in a concrete way, Workplace Nordic 360° also offers a chance to comment. This means that Workplace Nordic 360° also provides feedback on behavioral patterns, analyzed according to your personality traits. Getting such feedback on your behavior is very useful in itself, and in addition, it helps in utilizing and deepening the insights obtained from the WorkPlace Big Five Profile. Workplace Nordic 360° can also be customized and expanded to suit various needs in organizational development.
At Canon, one of the most important success factors is high-quality, coaching leadership that conforms to our values. For the past few years, Canon has concentrated leadership development efforts on energy leadership at the level of individuals, teams and the organization. Canon needed a method that would help managers identify their own natural traits in the context of management work and to see how their strengths or areas they felt needed development affect their energy and the people around them. The managers felt that the WorkPlace Big Five personal assessment and the Workplace Nordic 360° questionnaire were clear and easily manageable, and they both increased self-knowledge and effectiveness of their leadership in the immediate work environment. The energy tank concept is now part of everyday work in our organization, and I’m sure it will help individuals and teams to manage their energy according to the needs of the situation.
The WorkPlace Big Five reports are informative, and they provide a lot of material for improving self-knowledge and personal development. In the future, we plan to use the WorkPlace Big Five assessments and tools in recruitment as well as in competence and leadership development across the organization. During my career, I’ve had the chance to use various personal assessment tools, and WorkPlace Big Five is one of the best because of its clarity, scientific validity and use potential.
