Details:

Workplace insights are derived from proprietary combinations of scores in natural behavior discovery. These insights can be used to describe how team members tend to behave in workplace situations and their approach to certain activities. There are no good and bad scores here, these traits just describe natural preferences for behavior and do not account for learned behavior that team members may have adopted to be successful in a certain role or environment.
