Step 1: Know Yourself

Assessment A – Know Your Strengths: Career Self-AssessmentThe Know Your Strengths: Career Self-Assessment helps you

understand your personal styles and preferences. It provides a

description of your natural way of approaching tasks, working with

people, solving problems, adapting to change and managing

stress. In combination, your personal preferenc es allow you to make

a prediction about identifying areas of focus for your ongoing

development.

The Know Your Strengths: Career Self-Assessment can be found

in the Development Hub under the “Know Yourself” tab and takes

approximately 20 minutes to complete. Once the assessment has

been successfully submitted, a customized report will be delivered

to you by e-mail. These results are confidential to you and are not

shared with anyone else.

Assessment B – Know Your Relationships: Self-Assessment Pre-requisite: You must complete the Know Your Strengths career

self-assessment before being eligible to complete the Know Your Relationships assessment.

This is a tool for employees looking to develop their approach to

strengthening relationships. It is designed to help you better know

yourself, by giving you information about your preferences for

working with others.

The assessment can be found in the Development Hub under the

“Know Yourself” tab and takes about 15 minutes to complete. Once

the assessment has been successfully submitted, a customized report

will be delivered to you by e-mail. These results are confidential to

you and are not shared with anyone else.

To manage your development effectively, you need to know yourself

well. When you are self-aware, you can ask for the opportunities,

support, and rewards you need. You will deliver your best effort for

your company and make better career decisions when you know your

strengths and development opportunities.

Read through your assessment report/s and spend some time reflecting

on what you’ve learned about yourself and how you can apply these

learnings to becoming excellent in your role at Rogers.

The Big Picture: What does this say about me?

Read through your assessments (Know Your Strengths

and/or Know Your Relationships)

How do these results fit for you? • What did you already know about yourself?

• What surprises you about what you are reading?

1.2 Understand Your Assessments What does this information mean to me in the context of my role and career at Rogers?

Ensure you are doing everything you can to perform at your best where

you are today. Remember, focusing on high performance in your current

role will help you move forward in your development.
