Harrison Assessment Tests Engagement and Retention Analysis 3

Question 1

A Harrison Assessment report shows an employee scores high on 'wants recognition' but low on 'self-acceptance.' What retention risk does this trait combination indicate?

Accepted Answer

The employee may experience chronic dissatisfaction because external validation rarely compensates for low self-acceptance

Answer

Harrison research shows that employees who need external recognition but lack self-acceptance often experience persistent dissatisfaction regardless of praise received, increasing disengagement and turnover likelihood.

Question 2

Which Harrison Assessment work preference is most directly associated with retention in roles requiring independent, self-directed work?

Accepted Answer

Self-motivated and wants autonomy

Answer

Employees who score high on autonomy preferences in Harrison are more engaged and retained when given independent work structures that match this intrinsic motivational need.

Question 3

In a Harrison engagement analysis, 'happiness' is treated as a function of:

Accepted Answer

The degree to which job requirements align with an employee's traits and preferences

Answer

Harrison's framework defines workplace happiness as the result of trait-to-job alignment—when roles match an employee's intrinsic traits and preferences, fulfillment and retention follow naturally.

Question 4

An organization benchmarks Harrison Assessment job profiles for a sales role. Which trait is most critical to include in the benchmark for retention in a commission-heavy environment?

Accepted Answer

Competitiveness

Answer

Competitiveness is a core Harrison trait that predicts sustained engagement in commission-driven sales roles; employees who lack it often disengage when intrinsic motivation from competitive rewards is absent.

Question 5

Which Harrison Assessment approach allows organizations to identify employees who are engaged but at risk of burnout before it manifests as turnover?

Accepted Answer

Trait-to-demand analysis comparing engagement drivers against role stress factors

Answer

Harrison's trait-to-demand analysis identifies where employees' traits create engagement but also vulnerability to overextension, enabling proactive intervention before burnout-driven turnover occurs.
