Designed with business in mind

Facet5 was developed in response to client demand for speedy, practical information to assist with decision making at each stage of an employees’ journey through an organisation. Available in over 30 different languages, Facet5 is jargon-free, and web-based for easy access all over the world. A wide range of country and industry norm groups makes meaningful comparisons simple. Facet5 works with organisations to design and implement solutions that solve not only business problems but harness opportunities and realise potential.

Sound psychological theory

Whole of lifecycle approach

Facet5 is easily and effectively applied across the entire employee lifecycle. From selection through to separation and exit, Facet5 engages the individual, the leader and organisation with a range of comprehensive insights. Whether building a team, integrating a new hire or looking at organisational culture, Facet5 works with individuals, teams and organisations to realise their full potential.

The five factor model of personality (or ‘Big 5’) is now widely accepted as the best way of describing the fundamental building blocks of personality. The ‘Big 5’ model consistently emerges from psychological research as the irreducible minimum needed to give a comprehensive description of personality and behaviour. Facet5 measures these five factors precisely and quickly to give the most accurate and easily applied portrait of individual differences in behaviour.

”My team has shared their own profiles so we can better understand our strengths and weaknesses, and I personally feel that this has strengthened our understanding of each other. For instance, we now know those that have high and low energy levels, and can identify when we are able to push each other to get the job done, or take a moment to collect ourselves and attack the problems when we are all at our most productive.”
