Emotional Intelligence and Online Expert Systems offer significant value to Business

There’s been a lot of talk about Emotional Intelligence over the past ten years. Was it a management fad or something of real organisational value? Are we any closer to knowing what Emotional Intelligence actually means? And is it an expensive side-issue to the tougher measures of employee performance?

Brentfield Consultancy launched their Emotions and Behaviours at Work on-line system (The EBW™) in autumn 2004. Companies such as HMV, Carphone Warehouse, Selfridges have already used the system to assess, benchmark and provide feedback for individuals and teams, showing that Emotional Intelligence is a key issue for even the most successful commercial organisation.

Over the last 5 years online expert report systems have had a significant impact on business and been shown to have a number of benefits, such as objectivity, speed, reliability and cost when selecting and developing personnel.

We are now launching the EBW one day Masterclass training programme, providing a fuller view of employees’ personal characteristics, such as how they make decisions, handle stress etc, ensuring both employers and employees gain value.

Brentfield’s Managing Director explains “expert assessment report systems and their training have been expensive. The EBW expert system increases performance and saves costs not only because it is a fully online system but it focuses on the ‘real’ human factors that determine success”.

Emotional Intelligence is about how individuals manage themselves and others. Understanding and gaining an accurate insight into individuals’ Emotional Intelligence and what motivates them to succeed is the key to human capital management. The EBW online system enables businesses to assess and understand Emotional Intelligence quickly and cost effectively during selection, appraisal, team analysis and leadership development.

Attendance at the one day EBW Masterclass certifies user to use the system and understand the follow up tutorials. The fail safe nature of the scoring system means that certified users are only required to know how to use and feedback the results sensitively and accurately. Attending an EBW masterclass enables certified users to use a psychometric and expert report system (The EBW™) that normally requires expensive British Psychology Society test qualifications to use.

Emotional Intelligence
Originally conceived by Salovey and Mayer (1990), and popularised by Goleman (1996; 1998), emotional intelligence (EI) is the “ability to accurately perceive, understand, integrate and effectively manage one’s own emotions and those of others” For businesses Emotional Intelligence can provide a framework to measure and understand the ‘real’ human factors that determine success - how users manage their work and others; how they make decisions etc. It helps organisations and teams understand why people behave the way they do and how to maximise their performance.


The EBW™ System
The Emotions and Behaviours at Work (EBW) system has been validated and trialled over the last 5 years and is used for the selection and development of the right person for the right job.
