Get Engaged With Our Personal SWOT Analysis Tool

Do you feel engaged in your work?

According to Gallup, only 29 percent of the workforce in the United States and Canada is fully engaged. 

Sadly, the remaining workers are not so happy, with 54 percent "not engaged" and 18 percent "actively disengaged." [1]

The good news is that people who use their strengths at work are six times more likely to be engaged in their work. [2]

So, how can you identify your strengths? Our Personal SWOT tool can help!

Strengths

1. Identify your strengths.
What can you do that no one else can? What achievements are you most proud of?
What do other people complement you on?

2. Consider your weaknesses.
What tasks fill you with fear? Are there qualifications you have yet to achieve? What negative feedback do you get at work?

3. Look for opportunities to use your strengths.
Networking and Conferences? Valuable new skills? A potential new role?

4. Spot any threats that are standing between you and total engagement.
Competition? Changes at work? Poor performance?

Make an Action Plan that helps you to build your strengths, minimize weaknesses, seize opportunities and counteract threats. Add the first action to your to-do list...
