This latest phase of expansion follows successful launches of Strengthscope™ in the US, Ireland and Australia.
Strengthscope™ provides a comprehensive measure of an individual’s strengths at work, allowing companies to grow individuals by focusing on a strengths-based approach. The product utilises a range of pragmatic consulting and development solutions to enable individuals to build on their strengths and translate them into success. Strengthscope360™ is an extended profiler in the Strengthscope™ product suite and incorporates co-worker and stakeholder feedback, providing a multi-rater feature that gives 360° feedback on how they feel the individual uses their strengths at work.
Jopie van Rooyen and Partners (JvR), a leading psychological assessment distributor, and part of the JvR Group of companies, will provide access to the Strengthscope™ profiling suite and accreditation training to local companies from South Africa and into sub-Saharan Africa. Under the direction of Dr. Jopie de Beer, JvR aims to duplicate the product's success in the US and Europe in the South African and Sub-Saharan Africa territories.
James Brook, co-founder of Strengthscope™, who himself spent much of his early life in South Africa commented: “We are delighted to be partnering with such an established, professional partner in the region. The team at JvR Group are highly talented, have deep experience in designing and marketing assessment tools and the company’s values are well matched with our own This latest move into sub-Saharan Africa highlights the importance that businesses place on a strengths approach and we are delighted by the take up that has already been secured.”
