However, with so many different communicational styles swirling around the workplace, finding meaning among the chaos can be a challenge. This is where the [DISC](https://www.penguinlearning.co.uk/company-wide-disc-workshop) team-building workshop comes into play. Read on to find out how it works. ## **[![Book A Discovery Meeting](https://hubspot-no-cache-eu1-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/cta/default/26242804/interactive-253615566050.png)](https://www.penguinlearning.co.uk/hs/cta/wi/redirect?encryptedPayload=AVxigLInFjhunFvBy%2BjSKy1PKBVD6EDyXbthC4Kx6dUBB1ckT0I9bZbB1t4XdcUBw2olR7GchHOIwPeyQBMLU3Psc1OWRG%2FB0uSFbtpXaE1a4VjjYGaj7BYLwysYGlelESgR%2B8NQwM36emK0ozv8fpB56FYon7Y0oTZoDChzn%2F5D74nSuLCalSKn02rKkOBcrdJgIVeJ7R6hBi4%3D&webInteractiveContentId=253615566050&portalId=26242804)** ## **What is the DISC framework?** It has long been known that multiple [different behavioural typologies](https://uk.indeed.com/career-advice/career-development/types-of-human-behaviour-in-psychology) exist. Some people are natural leaders, some will always think outside the box, and others are inclined to listen and process before participating. As such, knowing which behavioural characteristics you have can help you and your team work together. The DISC framework uses powerful [behavioural assessment](https://www.penguinlearning.co.uk/behavioural-assessment) methodologies to determine whether you are inclined towards a Dominant (D), Influential (I), Steady (S), or Compliance (C) mode of reasoning. Empowered with this knowledge, teams can understand each other more thoroughly and generate creative cohesion. ## **Why Do Behavioural Assessments Matter?** There is a wide range of potential benefits to understanding organisational psychology. For instance, when team leaders have insight into different behavioural and communication styles, they can build upon these to create a harmonious and productive workspace. Roles can be assigned accurately, inclusivity can be augmented, and the flame of productivity can be ignited. Equally, when everyone understands their own communication styles, they can work proactively to tailor their skills to the benefit of the whole. For instance, if you know that you are naturally dominant, you can hone your natural tools to the advantage of the team. ## **What Happens In A DISC Workshop?** As an in-depth process, there are several stages to a DISC team workshop. Firstly, we will undertake individual assessments to begin the journey of self-discovery. After this, interactive exercises will probe the situation more deeply, uncovering the meanings behind the assessments. This is followed by both group discussions and facilitated sessions. The end result is that you and your colleagues will understand your own and each other’s communication styles, and consequential working behaviours and will be guided towards enhanced synchronicity. ## **What Are The Benefits Of A DISC Workshop?** We’ve already talked about the broad communication benefits that arise from a DISC team-building workshop, but how does that translate into tangible benefits? Most of our clients say that the difference is almost immediate. This is mostly because frustrating barriers to mutual understanding dissolve, and teams suddenly ‘get’ each other. Recognising that one among the group is a powerful influencer and another is a paradigm of resolute steadiness helps teams to bring out the best qualities in everyone. The results that we have seen are projects that are more dynamic, more innovative, and more focused. Ultimately, the benefits are felt in boosted morale, competitive value and efficiency. ## **What Next?** To find out more about DISC Workshops and how [learning and development programmes](https://www.penguinlearning.co.uk/how-we-work) may benefit your organisation, [get in touch](https://www.penguinlearning.co.uk/contact).  [![Penguin+Learning+Report+Behaviour+-+Long+CTA+Light](https://hubspot-no-cache-eu1-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/cta/default/26242804/interactive-221999180003.png)](https://www.penguinlearning.co.uk/hs/cta/wi/redirect?encryptedPayload=AVxigLJ9kMENusGht4n%2BCQ33B1scU2y7HJdQjb%2BBi6aQiqPEc%2BCgAy6sM7jz7h9biKQlHjzBwluvR7uQcjnxKXTjlGh%2BmRu8%2BYDyfDAWWpZQWk%2BK3OAM8Y%2FkDrwEICHqDDYdvMp4iVSqRwvnLn2Kh5UP2z%2BLEq02WBsA6Gg%2BsUguFefgSrWh8V7i1p7X%2FBBv&webInteractiveContentId=221999180003&portalId=26242804) Image Source: [Canva](https://www.canva.com/photos/MAEUS1VjADk-group-of-hands-together/) Topics: [DISC](https://www.penguinlearning.co.uk/learn/tag/disc) -
