Assessment Tools

In many organizations, personnel costs are among the largest budget  line items. Given the top challenges facing CEO’s, organizations need  their leaders, managers, and people aligned and working together at the  highest levels of performance.

Employee assessments can give organizations and managers consistent, in-depth, and objective information about their people. This includes the employee’s:

• Fit with organizational culture, job, manager, and team
• Knowledge, skills, job performance, and developmental needs
• Preferred learning and communication style
• Integrity, reliability and work ethic, and attitude towards substance abuse
• Response to conflict, stress, and frustration and likelihood of aggression

Information uncovered from assessments helps leaders and managers  rely less on gut instinct and make smarter people decisions. The  specific benefits include:

• Selecting people most likely to succeed in a job
• Accelerating time for people to become fully productive in a new role
• Improving alignment and communication between managers and employees
• Reducing workforce conflict and improving employee satisfaction
• Maximizing each employee’s contribution to the organization
• Reducing employee absenteeism and turnover
• Reducing frequency and cost of theft
• Increasing sales performance and customer loyalty
• Enabling strategic workforce management and succession planning
• Increasing overall workforce capability, productivity, and agility
