Dear readers, do not judge this article based on its slightly provocative title, wait until you read it!

First, let me share with you the surprising origin of this French saying which has become over time, I’ll admit, a bit naughty. Learn that this saying comes from the 1400s piracy. Legend holds that it was customary to cover the foot of sailors with the loot obtained at sea, like a measuring unit to share the contents. The foot covered in gold pieces was thus the reward received by the faithful sailor to ensure their future loyalty. Hence the saying prendre son pied (take one’s foot)!

It is only during the last century that the more licentious nature of the saying appeared, in reference to shared pleasure…! Quite comical, or even interesting as a tale, you might say. But what would be its connection with the services offered by the Créacor Group and the MPO psychometric profiles?

The PIED MPO is in fact the reference I give you this week to the Potentiel Individuel ET Développement (Individual Potential AND Development)!

It’s actually the form that the MPO application would take in your business, in other words to offer invaluable professional loot by letting you reveal the hidden potential of your employees. Make their development flourish this way, like organizational gold pieces, by starting from their strengths and development needs and share the fun of working together. The MPO solution will thus let you cartography your human wealth, too often buried, or even to dig into the foundations of your organization to extirpate the golden talents which were already at your disposal.

Finally, allow me one last metaphor… Be bold in a treasure hunt without moving! Go discover the treasures that make your employees so valuable, and by extension… your organization!
