In today’s dynamic workplace, fostering effective communication, collaboration, and employee engagement is more critical than ever. DiSC® on Catalyst™ is a cutting-edge, cloud-based learning platform that revolutionizes how organizations approach team development and conflict management. By integrating the proven DiSC Assessment with modular, real-time learning, Catalyst empowers teams to build stronger relationships and drive lasting cultural change. This blog post explores how Everything DiSC on Catalyst can elevate your workplace and create a more engaged, collaborative workforce.
What is Everything DiSC on Catalyst?
Everything DiSC on Catalyst is a personalized, mobile-enabled platform that serves as a single access point for learners’ DiSC journeys. Built on the research-validated DiSC Assessment, Catalyst delivers precise, narrative-style profiles that deepen self-awareness and provide actionable insights for interacting with others. The platform’s modular design transforms traditional “one-and-done” training into an ongoing learning experience, making it ideal for today’s hybrid and remote work environments.
The DiSC model categorizes behaviors into four primary styles—Dominance (D), Influence (i), Steadiness (S), and Conscientiousness (C)—helping individuals understand their preferences, motivators, and stressors. Catalyst takes this further by offering tools like the Your Colleagues and Your Groups features, enabling users to compare DiSC styles, explore team dynamics, and access real-time tips for effective collaboration.
Key Features of Everything DiSC on Catalyst
Personalized DiSC Profiles
The Everything DiSC Workplace® profile, the foundation of Catalyst, provides a 23-page narrative report detailing a learner’s DiSC style, priorities, and strategies for workplace interactions. Powered by adaptive testing, the assessment ensures precise results, taking 30–40 minutes for new users or 5–10 minutes for those upgrading existing profiles.
Modular Learning for Flexibility
Unlike traditional training, Catalyst breaks content into bite-sized modules (e.g., Workplace, Worksmart) that can be completed in any order, in-person or virtually. This modular approach supports ongoing learning and long-term behavior change, perfect for shorter sessions such as 30-minute lunch-and-learns.
Real-Time Collaboration Tools
The Your Colleagues feature allows learners to compare their DiSC style with coworkers, uncovering strategies to enhance communication and resolve conflicts. The Your Groups tool provides team maps and discussion prompts to improve group cohesion and address conflict management challenges.
Worksmart on Catalyst™
Worksmart is a powerful addition to Catalyst that provides focused, one-hour learning modules specifically designed to support managers navigating everyday workplace challenges. With topics like giving constructive feedback, managing conflict, empowering your team, motivating your team, and helping your team navigate change, Worksmart on Catalyst helps managers turn DiSC insights into actionable leadership strategies.
Seamless Integration into Workflows
Catalyst supports on-demand access to insights, making it easy for employees and teams to revisit strategies and tools whenever they need them. By embedding DiSC principles into the daily rhythm of work, Catalyst promotes sustained learning and stronger collaboration.
