Focus Profile
The Focus Profile identifies candidates’ and employees’ preferences and satisfaction with tasks, promotes dialog about responsibilities and development, and aims to increase self-awareness and job success.
It is built around four focus areas and can be used for both individual interviews and team processes, giving HR and management better insight into task types and team dynamics.
With the Focus Profile, you can uncover what a candidate or employee prefers to focus on and what types of tasks they thrive on.
It provides the basis for a qualified and constructive dialog about responsibility, motivation, challenges and development – whether you are recruiting or developing.
The goal is to create greater self-awareness, well-being and success in the job.
The Focus Profile is built around the four focus areas Baser, Result, Developer and Integrator focus. This makes it easy to understand, easy to grasp and easy to communicate. For the benefit of both respondent and respondent.
The profile is suitable for both 1:1 interviews and team processes.
HR and management get a better overview of whether the employee is working on the right types of tasks and concentrating on the areas that benefit both her and the company the most. On the one hand, they gain insight into whether the team is set up correctly, or whether it focuses too much on detail and too little on creating quick results, for example.
Primary focus:
Results-oriented, goal-oriented, creative and innovative.
Energetic and the one to drive change.
Secondary focus:
When the situation requires it, may be reasonably good at anticipating the expectations and needs of others and also showing or taking these into account.
Motivation:
Seeing and creating results in new areas or in new ways.
Potential development areas:
May have a seemingly (to others) impatient, random, unstructured and somewhat unsystematic approach to tasks.
The Focus Profile is based on the Focus Model
The Focus Profile is central to the Focus Model, which also forms the basis of the Basic Profile. The Focus Profile highlights the four key focus areas: Integrator, Baser, Result and Developer focus. In order for a department or team to function optimally, it is necessary that employees collectively represent all these focus areas.
However, it is important to understand that no single person can master all four focus areas simultaneously. We each have our own particular strengths that we naturally apply in our work and in collaboration with colleagues. Typically, one or two of the focus areas will be more prominent in an individual, while the others play a lesser role.
Knowing the specific strengths and weaknesses of each employee in a team or department is crucial to creating the best possible collaboration and maximizing everyone’s potential.

The Focus Profile is based on the Focus Model
The Focus Profile rests on the foundation we call the Focus Model. The model is based on the premise that all departments must have employees who together represent four different focus areas in order to function optimally. They are Integrator, Developer, Baser and Result focus.
However, no employee can focus on all four at the same time.
Instead, we each have our own strengths that we prefer to use at work and in collaboration with others.
Typically, you have one or two focus areas that dominate while the others take a back seat.
Therefore, it’s important to know the strengths and weaknesses of each employee in the department or team in order to get the most out of the collaboration.
This could be in the management team, among salespeople, in the HR department, or across professional groups.
The Focus model provides you as a manager or employee with an easy-to-understand personal profile to identify which focus areas you and your colleagues most naturally lean towards.
Each focus area contains a number of characteristics related to behavior, communication, motivation and approach to tasks.
This knowledge can help build successful teams.
And to create a common language that makes it easier to talk about strengths and weaknesses, which can improve collaboration and self-awareness for both the team and the individual.
Both the Focus Profile and the Basic Profile are built around the Focus model.
They can both be used across the HR process, where the common language makes it easier to talk about strengths, challenges and development opportunities.
