Benefit Cosmetics

The results and awards (Best Employers Eastern Region) reinforced the areas of engagement that Benefit felt it was already strong in. Employees' positive feedback told the company that certain elements of engagement had long been successful. Other feedback confirmed that the business was on the right track in terms of focusing on the areas that needed improvement.

What I like about The Quest Profiler® is the wealth of different outputs it provides, from team styles to conflict handling, and from culture matching to competencies. You would normally have to use multiple personality tools to achieve this, but they all come from the same 25 minute questionnaire!
