The Motives, Values, Preferences Inventory (MVPI) reveals a person's core values, goals and interests. This is invaluable information for determining the kinds of environments in which the person will perform best, and the kind of culture the person will create as a leader.
A large multi-national financial services provider wanted to improve their sales representative selection process in an effort to increase employee satisfaction and decrease turnover. Prior to implementation of the MVPI, the organization reported a turnover rate of 48%. After using the MVPI for one year, analyses showed a significant reduction in sales representative turnover.

During the past three years, Hogan witnessed an increase in the number of requests for competency-based reports. To identify relationships between commonly used competencies and personality, Hogan developed the Hogan Competency Model (HCM).
The HCM has three advantages. First, Hogan designed the model to have minimal overlap between competencies, allowing better measurement of specific behaviors. Second, the competencies were designed to target specific areas of performance. In contrast, many models target several behaviors with a single competency. Finally, the development process centered on a review of twenty-one competency models used across academic, commercial, and government settings. This both assures that the model is comprehensive and that it can be easily compared to and used in conjunction with other competency models.

Dr. Robert Hogan and Ryan Ross joined 14 Consultants from Right Management in Paris, France on December 15th and 16th. The EMEA Hogan Champions from Right are a select group of internal experts from Right’s major European offices. The two day session was designed to strengthen the team's expertise in providing integrated offerings to current and future clients. 
Robert Hogan presented two different seminars, the first on Leadership, Personality, and Organizational Effectiveness. As organizations continue to focus on talent, using solutions like those provided by Right, personality plays a key role in determining “not who shall lead, but who should lead," as Hogan says. The second seminar was focused on employee engagement and how effective leadership directly impacts employee engagement which is directly related to business performance. Ryan Ross then provided an extended program on the advanced use of the Hogan tools in team building and leadership development activities, as well as introducing the SELECT, DEVELOP, LEAD branding solutions throughout Europe.
