Project scope
What is the main goal for this project?
Our company has hundreds of employees with diverse backgrounds and experiences. We would like to collaborate with students to understand how personality tests can be used to improve our human resources (HR) practices and gain recommendations for their implementation.
This will involve several different steps:
- Conducting background research on the personality tests and factors affecting teamwork.
- Assessing what personality combinations make for a high-functioning team.
- Analyzing how existing teams can work more cohesively, based on their personality types.
- Recommending areas of improvement in our HR practices.
- Surveying employees about the workplace culture.
- Defining what type of personality profile would be ideal for a set of new hires.
