Motivated employees with a strong work ethic are critical to organizational success.
Team dynamics suffer when an employee isn’t contributing or lacks positivity. Similarly, when a team member frequently misses work, is late to meetings, or doesn’t meet deadlines, team morale declines and frustrations grow.
Employees whose talents, like a strong work ethic, fit the job are more productive, happier and stay longer.

A work ethic assessment needs to be aligned to the distinct needs of your unique role and culture.
Only HighMatch offers a personalized work ethic assessment built specifically for your roles and company culture.
During the interview, you can pose questions to better understand a candidate’s work ethic. It is best to ask open-ended questions, and questions that require candidates to draw upon past experiences.
You could ask candidates for specific examples of how they have had to self-manage without direct supervision. How did they ensure the work got done?
If the candidate has trouble thinking of examples or provides generic responses, they may struggle with work ethic. You want the candidate to provide detailed, real-world examples.
HighMatch provides interview questions tailored to each candidate. Each guide offers questions based on each person’s personality and skills, making it easy for you to ask thought-provoking questions.
Having trouble diving deeper into your candidates’ potential? Our Interview solution offers a playbook for consistent, objective questions leading to more informed interviews.
HighMatch measures three traits that relate to work ethic and motivation: Assertiveness, Intensity and Structure.
Assertiveness is the tendency to take the initiative; intensity is the tendency to have a sense of work-related urgency; while structure is the tendency to seek correctness and precision.
We test for work ethic through our Assess solution, and offer the ability to couple this assessment with other skills assessments from our massive library of tests.
Our workplace psychologists can conduct a benchmark study to understand what qualities are most critical, analyze the qualities that top performers share, and then develop a customized Job Profile that includes personality traits, abilities, and skills.
