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, identified by the ProScan tool, the PDP system identifies behavioral traits, energy metrics, 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 96% 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 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 to build a high-performance team:
- Send ProScan invitations to all team members,
- Conduct a quick feedback session with each team member,
- Create a TeamScan and select from nine report options based on focus of team session, and
- Conduct a team session—one onsite or offsite workshop (or multiple sessions or retreat), over 2-4 hours.
