Backed by the HEXACO Personality Framework

Your employees need more than encouragement to build essential skills. They need a program with impact. ACT Tessera Workforce is informed by the HEXACO personality framework.

The HEXACO personality framework was developed after several years of research investigating its structure. HEXACO skills are malleable—they aren’t fixed, but designed to be strengthened and honed. This framework is an integral part of Tessera Workforce, which is now available through our game-changing fully-loaded platform, ACT Stack.

How it Works

ACT Tessera Workforce integrates a multimodal approach to assessment.
We go beyond traditional self-reporting, yielding more reliable, valid results by integrating three different methodologies:
 

Self-Report Rating

Users rate the extent to which they agree with several statements.

Situational Judgment

Users are presented with scenarios and five possible responses to each. 

Forced-Choice Items

Users select statements that are “most like them” and “least like them.”

The Playbook Completes the Picture

The ACT Tessera Workforce Playbook includes a detailed score report, plus strategies and activities to help employees improve upon skills in each domain.

Each activity:

  • Takes no longer than 40 minutes to complete
  • Includes information on why each essential skill is important
  • Provides opportunities for employees to practice building the skill
