Improving Teamwork, Communication, and Productivity in the Workplace

Tuesday, February 4, 2025 | 1:00 PM - 1:30 PM Eastern
Duration: 30 minutes

Overview

This webinar offers a high-level introduction to the Dominance, Influence, Steadiness, and Conscientiousness (DiSC) Personality Assessment tool, focusing on its core principles and practical workplace applications. Designed to improve teamwork, communication, and productivity, the session will provide an overview of the DiSC model and its four primary behavioral styles—Dominance, Influence, Steadiness, and Conscientiousness. Participants will gain insights into how each of these styles shape individual preferences, communication approaches, and responses to workplace dynamics. 

The presentation will begin by explaining the DiSC model, highlighting the characteristics and tendencies of each behavioral style. Attendees will learn how Dominance styles emphasize results and action, Influence styles thrive on enthusiasm and collaboration, Steadiness styles value stability and support, and Conscientiousness styles focus on accuracy and quality. By understanding these distinctions, participants can begin to identify their own style preferences and those of their colleagues. 

An important focus of this session is the importance of recognizing and adapting your communication style to others’ behavioral preferences, fostering better communication and collaboration. Miscommunication often stems from differences in these preferences, and the DiSC framework provides actionable strategies for bridging these gaps. Through practical examples, participants will learn how tailoring your message—for example, providing concise, results-driven communication for Dominant colleagues or fostering open dialogue with Influential personalities—can improve workplace interactions and build stronger relationships. 

This webinar also explores how an employee's DiSC style influences their response to change and preferred workplace environment. For example, Steadiness individuals may prefer gradual, well-explained transitions, while Dominant personalities may adapt quickly when the change aligns with their goals. Understanding these tendencies can help leaders and team members approach change initiatives more effectively, minimizing resistance and fostering engagement. Similarly, insights into workplace preferences can guide managers in creating environments that cater to different styles, such as providing opportunities for collaboration for Influence style employees or offering structure and precision for Conscientiousness style team members. 

While this session is a brief introduction, participants will leave with actionable insights they can begin applying immediately. Whether you’re a manager, team leader, or professional seeking to strengthen workplace relationships and drive productivity, this webinar will equip you with foundational knowledge of DiSC and its role in fostering understanding, adaptability, and success in today’s diverse work environments.
