“The experiences you've gained through your upbringing, your education, your culture and your working life have helped shape what you think is important. And they'll inform what you do, and why you do it, for the rest of your lifetime."

(Hay Group)

Gaps between the personal values of your leaders and teams and the demands of their job can have a negative impact in terms of lower productivity and higher staff turnover. Based on the research of the renowned psychologist Dr David McClelland, the PVQ identifies these gaps in order for action to be taken - this could involve development, coaching, reassignment or redesigning job roles.

How does the PVQ work?

The PVQ measures the importance individuals attach to three social values or conscious drivers of behaviour: Achievement, Affiliation and Power. A PVQ profile will describe the extent to which test-takers consciously rate these values. It offers illuminating information on what matters to an individual; where they are likely to invest their energies; whether they fir their chosen job role, and how then can improve this fit.

What are the benefits of opting for the Personal Values Questionnaire?

• Identify mismatch of personal values and job demands, to improve performance and staff turnover
• Identify specific areas to work on in training or coaching
• It's easy to use; test-takers just spend around 15 minutes completing a self-scoring workbook that doesn't require preparation or complex data collection
• Effective for those needing a simple and straightforward way to identify job fit or areas for improvement

How is the Personal Values Questionnaire completed?

The PVQ is available as a paper-based instrument or on the Internet, as an online questionnaire.

Who is the PVQ suitable for?

The PVQ is suitable for all employees up to board level and is particularly effective for new leaders and those in new roles, working well alongside coaching and training programmes. It can be used when resolving issues in job satisfaction, performance and also conflict.

Who is the PVQ developed by?

PVQ was developed by Dr David McClelland and Hay Group, a global management consulting organisation.
