What is Prosocial?
Prosocial is the antidote to antisocial. It describes personal attributes that bring about positive changes by looking at the bigger picture and making better decisions for us all.
The Prosocial assessment is the first tool to help early talent recruiters focus on the social characteristics that deliver positive behaviours in the workplace.
It’s built around the evidence-based concept that identifies prosocial traits, which are linked to improved proactivity and engagement in workforces and sustainable ways of working.
To meet the complex challenges that contemporary organisations will face, recruiters want to attract and identify candidates that have prosocial attributes. These go beyond motivating colleagues and team members. They extend to being resilient enough to deal with rapid change and well-equipped to make decisions that are inclusive and socially and environmentally responsible.
The online assessment uses specific prompts and questions to gain prosocial information from potential candidates. Two reports are generated to allow the recruiter and the candidate to comprehend and review the results quickly. Plus, the secure data portal provides easy access to human resources professionals looking to manage the assessments.
