    THE WORK ENVIRONMENT HAS CHANGED

    Work Load Has Increased

    Percentage of Employees Experiencing an

    Increase in Workload in the Past Three Years

    Widespread changes

    in the organizational

    environment have led to

    fundamental changes in

    how work gets done.

    In the last few years,

    employees in Asia have been

    asked to do more and more.

    Employees multitask

    more frequently to manage

    increased workloads without

    adding hours to the workday.

    Employees increasingly

    work across multiple

    time zones, cultures, andcustomer segments, which

    limits opportunities for an

    organization to observe

    performance.

    Employees work requires

    greater collaboration,

    and as collaboration and

    coordination increase,

    an employees performance

    is increasingly dependenton the performance

    of his or her peers.

    To create a high

    a context that drives

    high performance.

    An individuals personality

    traits are affected more

    by tenure and experience,

    PERSONALITY TRAITS

    Personality Assessment, Enterprise Contributors Compared to All Employees

    Average Rating by Respondents on a 7-Point Behavior Rating Scale

    Enterprise Contributors

    are inherently more

    dynamic, structured,

    creative, and influential

    than other employees.

    Personality attributes tend

    to be innate to an individual

    and harder to change

    through conventional

    training methods.

    The biggest gap in

    personality scores occurs

    in dynamism (level of

    ambition and drive to work)

    and structure (long-term

    orientation, focus on detail,timely work.)

    The lowest difference in

    scores occurs at emotions,

    which refers to display of

    emptions and expressions

    at work.
