Remote working provides staff with unparalleled flexibility, vastly improving work-life balance while also minimising the time, money, and stress associated with commuting. However, remote work does inevitably minimise face-to-face social interaction with colleagues, which can be uncomfortable for the highly extraverted. Similarly, without direct managerial supervision, less focused or motivated staff may find their performance waning while working remotely.
The Ethos Behavioural Styles Questionnaire (R) has been designed to measure the key traits which determine whether or not a person will thrive while working remotely.
It investigates the behavioural dispositions that underlie independence and self-sufficiency, which is essential while working remotely. This ensures that new hires will view remote working positively, and thus will thrive in a remote working environment.

Our remote work assessment measures key traits that impact one's suitability to remote and hybrid work. High scorers are more likely to thrive in remote or hybrid work environments, whereas low scores are substantially more likely to prefer a traditional office environment.
Our remote working assessment will be useful for employers that are hiring someone who will primarily be WFH. There is less control and supervision with remote employees, so it is essential that they have the behaviour traits of someone that is able to work productively on their own.
