Different people look for different types of work. ResponsAbility makes the assumption that there are four different types of work

Collaborative Work

Structured Work
Some people love interacting with team member whilst others want to be rewarded for individual effort. Each person brings their own preferences to work with them.
In a recent survey 80% of respondents felt that obtaining the right balance of work was critical to improving team effectiveness and staying in their job. We need to understand:-
- The work they prefer
- How they like to receive work
- What causes them frustration or dissatisfaction
- What they need to give up
The self assessment tool will help people understand themslves.
