Having
the right people doing the right jobs
Through research done by the American
Management Association, 49% of executives found that the top
business challenge was recruiting, retaining and training
talented employees.
Recruting
Through the use of assessments you can
make sure you have the right people in the right jobs and
better identify what type of person would best fill the job.
Different roles have different needs and require not only
different skill sets but strengths as well. Being able to
identify what strengths, and natural tendencies the ideal
candidate should possess will more likely assure the right
fit. In addition, by using assessments you begin to learn
more about personality and behavior making you more proficient
in understanding and reading people accurately.
Retention
Every departing employee costs thousands of dollars. This
excludes additional hidden costs of lost productivity, reduced
morale and lost intellectual capital. People leave jobs for
reasons such as poor fit, conflict issues, communication problems
and poor leadership. Through the use of assessments your workers
not one or two understand themselves better but others as
well, which has a direct impact on communication and leadership.
Through the process of understanding ones-self _ strengths,
weaknesses, tendencies and motivations employees become more
effective, have greater job satisfaction, better relationships
with co-workers and increased effectiveness in their jobs.
Training
Training just doesn't occur in the classroom; training happens
everywhere and is facilitated by knowing one's self. The more
assessments are used with trainings, the more your employees
can begin the inward journey of self-discovery. The more workers
are able to reflect on situations and events in a different
way, the better they can respond and act rather then react.
Assessments create the vehicle for training to occur everywhere.
