What Is DISC? Why Should Your Team Use It?

DISC is a behavioural profiling tool that identifies four core communication styles:

• Dominance – results-driven and decisive

• Influence – enthusiastic and people-focused

• Steadiness – patient and dependable

• Conscientiousness – detail-oriented and analytical

DISC is not about labelling people. It’s about understanding them—how they prefer to communicate, what motivates them, and how they respond under pressure.

Why Should Your Team Use DISC?

1. Clarity

People gain a deeper understanding of themselves, which builds self-awareness and confidence.

2. Adaptability

Teams learn how to adjust communication styles to connect more effectively with others.

3. Conflict Resolution

DISC provides a common language to resolve tension without blame or judgement.

4. Stronger Culture

When differences are valued and leveraged, team culture becomes more inclusive and productive.

5. Retention

Employees who feel seen, heard, and understood are far more likely to stay and contribute long-term.

Any organisation serious about culture, performance, and retention should be using DISC.
It helps teams move past frustration into connection—and that connection drives results.
