The document discusses the PDA assessment tool, which provides behavioral profiles in areas like leadership style, decision-making, emotional intelligence, and strengths/weaknesses. It can be used for tasks like candidate selection, development, and team building. The PDA differs from other DISC-based tools by measuring axis intensities, consistency, energy levels, and including a self-control axis. Companies must train analysts to access the system and issue reports, which can then be leveraged throughout the talent management process. The PDA has been used internationally by clients like Nestle, PepsiCo, and Unilever.

28. Company Accreditation Process and Use of the PDA System
by Companies
Step 1: Training
In order to be provided with access to the PDA system and its
related functionality, your organisation would need to send at least
one suitably qualified individual (i.e. Senior HR Manager and / or
Psychologist) for training on the instrument.
Once this person has written and passed the accreditation exam,
you would be provided with access to the entire PDA system.

29. Company Accreditation Process and Use of the PDA System
by Companies
Step 2: Purchasing Credits
Once your organisation has at least one accredited PDA Analyst in
their employment, the company will be able to purchase credits to be
used to generate PDA reports.
It is important to note that the PDA system only charges one credit per
person. This means that you will be able to utilise an individual PDA
profile as many times as required (such as to compare a person to as
many positions as possible, against as many different competencies
as possible, and to generate individual or team reports, etc), and will
still only be charged one credit.
