Cloverleaf Responsible Use

Cloverleaf leverages behavioral assessment data to power personalized coaching that comes to you where and when you want it. We strive to make this a great experience for everyone, each and every time you engage with the Cloverleaf product. We use a collective learning experience that relies on everyone taking great care to use the data provided in a responsible way that empowers everyone to do their best work.

Cloverleaf’s promise for responsible use includes building our digital product with a few key concepts at the center of all we do:

  1. Individual Consent – you choose how you share your data and with whom.
  2. Everyone has Value – you will only see content from Cloverleaf that highlights your unique value
  3. Positive Focused Content – even when we represent areas for growth, they will always be communicated in a positive way.

In addition to these key concepts we need you to use the product responsibly as well. We ask that you adhere to the following guidelines for responsible use:

  1. Avoid Stigmatization. Use assessment results to support individuals and promote growth, rather than stigmatize or label them. Typing or stereotyping using behavioral assessment results should be avoided. No one wants to be boiled down to a single letter, number or color. People have full agency over behavior and choices and a type doesn’t define how these behaviors and decisions will manifest. 
  2. Provide regular feedback: If you see coaching or traits that seem off either about you or others, please let us know. We provide many options to rate content or to provide general feedback (including the small chat icon in the lower right corner of the app screen) – please give us regular feedback so we can continue to dial in results over time.
  3. Avoid using any single behavioral data point to select someone into a team or as rationale for not choosing someone for a role or opportunity. Look at behavioral data as a single data point in a range of factors to consider when making decisions about people and the role they play.
  4. Use an open mind. Don’t use behavioral data to validate pre-conceived notions of why someone may behave a certain way. Take a growth mindset and a curious approach to learning when reviewing results. Consider your own biases when reviewing results and look for ways to find new insights that might help you see someone in a new light.
  5. Look beyond headline traits. Cloverleaf provides rich content that not only describes the results of assessments but also helps frame how you can work better with others that have these different styles. Be sure to explore beyond a type and dig into the implications of these results on improving your relationship or work outcomes. These assessments don’t measure life experience or skills, so don’t confuse a strength or a trait for the totality of who you or others are.
