ATS Webinar: The Culture Equation – Why Personality Predicts Organisational Fit

In today’s competitive talent market, organisations increasingly recognise that success isn’t just about hiring capable individuals—it’s about ensuring cultural alignment. Yet culture is often viewed as subjective, leaving talent professionals to rely on instinct rather than insight.

In this session, Dr. Ryne Sherman, Chief Science Officer at Hogan Assessments, presents a scientific approach to understanding how personality—especially values—shapes and fits organisational culture. Drawing on global research and practical applications, Dr. Sherman will share how assessments can help HR and talent leaders:

  • Identify cultural fit during hiring and development
  • Anticipate misalignment and derailment risks
  • Support evidence-based, strategic talent decisions

This session is ideal for professionals guiding teams through growth, change, or cultural transformation—and seeking tools to do it with clarity and confidence.
