Profiles Managerial Fit: Measure compatibility between managers and employees to increase productivity

The tension of personality differences between manager and employee can overshadow the strengths of each individual. In fact, 85 percent of employees leave their jobs due to conflict in the supervisor/employee relationship; 50 percent of an employee’s work satisfaction depends on his or her relationship with a supervisor (source: Profiles International).
