ESCI - 360 Emotional and Social Competency Inventory
The Emotional and Social Competency Inventory (ESCI) is a scientifically-validated and reliable 360 tool that assesses emotional intelligence. It is based on the seminal work of Dr. Richard Boyatzis and Dr. Daniel Goleman, and builds on the HayGroup's 35 years of competency research. The model includes 12 emotional competencies.
For Individuals
The ESCI gave participants critical awareness on how people they interacted with on a daily basis perceived them, both in how they managed themselves and how they managed their relationships. Once someone knew where they stood on the 12 emotional competencies, they could begin developing a plan to enhance their emotional intelligence.
For Organizations
For organizations, the ESCI served as a development tool that provided feedback on an entire work unit or department, profiling its overall strengths and development needs. Pooling individual assessments across a work unit provided a comprehensive profile of the organization's or the team's emotional intelligence-a Work Force Audit the could reveal key emotional gaps, limiting performance effectiveness.
With this assessment, employees received a personalized report that gave those who were current leaders or who aspired to be leaders powerful insights in areas that they could develop to improve their performance.
