A solution for employee selection and retention
For years, the employer members of WCI have struggled with the challenges of finding, selecting, and retaining the best workers. It has been WCI's goal to find workable solutions to the biggest challenges our members face, and we believe we have found a solution for employee selection and retention. We are continuing to explore the supply issue, but in the meantime, hiring the right people and not losing your current employees can be addressed with the PDP services now offered. PDP is the proven system that inspires your culture and ignites productivity. Like AI, it's an up-and-coming technology developed to help employers eliminate bad hires and keep their talent.
PDP services
WCI is licensed to represent, consult, train, and offer PDP services and systems. PDP (Professional DynaMetric Programs) is a complete system that measures the dynamics of individuals (ProScan), job positions (JobScan), and teams (TeamScan). Working from individual strengths, PDP tools identify behavioral traits, energy for work, personal stress, and motivators that affect employee satisfaction and performance.
PDP uses proven scientific technology that has been field tested over 6 million times, is rated as 98% accurate, is EEOC and ADA compliant, and frequently re-validated. It is used by Chick-fil-A, Hertz, multiple WCI members, and hundreds of other companies in many countries. Using our PDP tools and services will pay for themselves by reducing turnover and improving retention and engagement.

ProScan isn’t just another behavioral assessment. It’s proven to help organizations hire the best people, retain and promote top talent, and enable effective team communication. Behavioral assessments—done right—can save you time and money on hiring. They can help you find the candidates that will ensure you build a functional team and productive, positive team culture. Before you give up on behavioral assessments, here’s how PDP behavioral assessments work and why they’re so effective.
ProScan behavioral assessments
The ProScan instrument measures personal dynamics—how individuals act, react, communicate, lead, and manage stress. ProScan dynametrics include:
- Behavioral traits (dominance, extroversion, pace, conformity)
- Decision-making style (factual or intuitive logic)
- Energy metrics—energy styles and energy level
- Trait adjustments due to external and internal pressure
- Satisfaction index (employee morale)
- Energy drain and available energy level
- Motivators and overriding needs

JobScan position assessments
The JobScan instrument measures the dynamics of the position—the key behavioral traits and energy metrics the position requires in order to be successful on the job. JobScan dynametrics include:
- Behavioral traits needed for that role
- Decision-making style on the job
- Energy styles (how tasks and projects are completed)
- Energy level (the amount available for work)
Assessments from peak performers and managers are used to build a job model for a position, which is then used to measure and score candidates for that job to ensure the best selection, performance, and retention.
TeamScan group dynamics
TeamScan builds on the individual metrics of ProScan by combining a team's dynametrics into several application reports. Designed to enhance the understanding of team culture and performance, TeamScan improves working relationships and solidifies bonds by revealing individual and collective strengths and guiding more effective communication and conflict resolution.
How WCI can help you build a high-performance team:
- ProScan invitations sent to all team members,
- WCI conducts quick feedback sessions with team members,
- A TeamScan is created with up to 9 report options based on the focus of the team session, and
- A 2- to 4-hour team session is conducted, as either an onsite or offsite workshop to build your team.
