Assessment Personality and Aptitudes

Participant satisfaction

This training allowed me, firstly, to develop technical skills in the use of the OPQ personality test and aptitude tests, as well as in the interpretation of the respective results, for subsequent feedback to the participant and support in decision-making. In addition to this main objective, I left with a strong motivation to rethink some of the talent management processes in practice in my organisation, in order to make better use of the tools used. I finish this training inspired and with several relevant insights to further enhance talent management in my organisation and with my team.
