With over 30 years in HR, Andy discovered the power of tools like the Predictive Index while working in the UK—where he famously reduced vacancies from 350 to zero and turnover from 20% to single digits in just six months.The conversation dives into the transformative role of behavioural profiling in business: how understanding innate workplace behaviours helps leaders hire the right people, improve team dynamics, and reduce costly attrition. Andy explains the difference between skills (the "briefcase") and behavioural traits—arguing that over half of job success comes down to the latter.They discuss how to optimise team fit, onboarding, and long-term development using behavioural data. Andy even breaks down Charlie’s own profile live on the show, illustrating how these tools can uncover entrepreneurial patterns, decision-making styles, and communication preferences.
