How emotional intelligence benefits both people and performance

Emotional intelligence shapes how people perform, interact, and experience work. It’s a key driver of resilience, motivation and self-awareness - and a powerful tool for unlocking potential.

With Thomas’s Emotional Intelligence assessment, you can support your people in making stronger connections, better working relationships, and higher motivation.

Built on rigorous people science and accredited by the British Psychological Society, the assessment helps you develop high performers, coach more effective leaders, and create thriving teams.

Emotional intelligence in recruitment

With Thomas, you don't need to be an expert to grasp emotional intelligence. Our assessment evaluates 12 essential facets and provides an easy-to-understand review with discussion points.

Emotional Intelligence in recruitment  

It is valuable in recruitment (when used alongside other assessments) as it helps to understand your candidates’ emotional intelligence from the start. This is especially true when considering candidates for leadership or roles that are particularly people-centric. Understanding how strong candidates are in resilience, self-belief, or even social navigation means you gain greater confidence in short-listing by validating decisions for these important hires.

Whether you're developing high performers or helping individuals grow in self-awareness, understanding emotional intelligence can unlock greater success across your teams.  

Understanding emotional intelligence benefits everyone, especially when it’s part of manager-led coaching or performance reviews. Helping people lead with empathy improves team dynamics and strengthens connection at any career stage.
