Personal Development Analysis (PDA)

BIOSS SA is a distributor of the PDA in South Africa

What is the PDA?

PDA is a ‘cutting edge’ psychometric test that through a simple, precise and scientific methodology allows us to discover and analyse people’s behavioural profiles. It also allows us to evaluate the behavioural and competency requirements of a job thereby ensuring you select and develop the right people into the right positions.

What Information does the PDA Provide?

Once an external candidate or internal employee has completed the PDA the organisation will receive a report containing an in-depth analysis of the person’s behavioural profile. The report provides insight into:

  • Natural Behaviour (how you naturally are)
  • Role Behaviour (how you adjust your behaviour at work)
  • Leadership Style
  • Management Style
  • Decision-Making
  • Communication
  • Sales Approach
  • How to Manage and Motivate your staff
  • Emotional Intelligence
  • Energy Level
  • Strengths & Developmental Areas
  • Fit to Competencies and Job Tasks

Benefits of Personal Development Analysis

  • Internationally recognised psychometric assessment tool.
  • Used widely across 4 continents within small, medium and large organisations.
  • Valid and reliable within the South African Context and culturally unbiased
  • Cost-effective
  • Time-effective (takes 15 minutes to complete).
  • Minimises staff turnover.
  • Increases employee efficiency.
  • Online testing platform.
  • Allows organisations to compare individuals and teams against job competencies and outputs.
  • Can be used to select and develop employees, and enhance team effectiveness

  • Tracey Roux, Bidvest Bank: Training & Development

    I think this tool (PDA) is wonderful; I tend to use the Job profile fit as this gives me a good idea if the candidate is suitable.

  • Taryn Winer, Blue Strata: HR Manager

    Blue Strata implemented the PDA tool in 2012. We have been thrilled with the service received from the BIOSS SA team, nothing is too much trouble and they have spent time going through reports and assisting us each time we have needed them, always at short notice. We have used the tool when recruiting, and its assisted us in making a more informed decision when hiring. We have also taken the PDA report three months after the person has been in the role to assess the accuracy and validity of the information provided. It has been a fantastic tool, especially for the managers to effectively manage the new hires from the start. The more we use it the more comfortable we feel when making recruitment decisions.

  • Chantal Adamstein, Aramex SA; HR Executive

    We at Aramex implemented the PDA in December 2012.The implementation and support has been absolutely incredible to date. There was no delay in the setup of the system and the response time in relation to our requests for advice and support has been quick and professional. The tool is comprehensive and user friendly and has already assisted us in uplifting our recruitment and selection process.

  • Tijen Diraz, Anglo American: People Development Manager

    I had the pleasure of working with Kevin Distiller from BIOSS SA. I required a unique assessment I could use to enable my team to understand each other better and work more effectively together. Kevin recommended the PDA, and then arranged for the assessments to be completed ahead of the facilitated session. The assessment took minimal time compared to the usual assessments I have experienced and the generated report was easy to read and accurate. A half day team workshop then took place with Kevin putting everyone at ease and making it extremely interactive and fun. We worked through the theory, reports and real life examples and at the end knew a lot more about our preferences and ways of working. The PDA has really helped my team grow closer and focus on their development.  BIOSS SA is a highly professional consultancy that I strongly recommend and I would certainly use their services again.
