Assessment Tools

Organizations that tend to stand head and shoulders above the rest have superior people policies and on the face of it at least, superior people. Their secret is that they have a people-based competitive advantage –they not only identify and recruit great people, but they work with the people they have to make them great. They find just what attributes they uniquely possess that can be developed and employed effectively to build the sort of serious competitive advantage that only good people can offer.

We are in the business of providing great information to help companies get a better return on the investment made everyday in “human capital” – the people who work within the company.

We can help you identify how to get more out of the money you pay, benefits you provide and training dollars you invest. Through an assessment information gathering process, we can help you put the right people in the right jobs and use this information to provide a means to coach, manage and motivate to greater success, productivity and profitability.

Our clients have used these on-line assessment tools, to:

• Assess the potential “fit” of prospective employees
• Define training and development needs
• Allow individuals to analyze and assess their aptitudes and interests
• Put people in jobs that are best aligned with their interests and skills
• Promote people into positions where they will succeed
• Reduce employee turnover, tension, and conflict
• Understand the dynamics and the perceptions of team members
• Build stronger and more productive teams
• Improve customer relationships and satisfaction
• Help managers to become better leaders
• Understand what is working in your organization, what needs to be monitored and what needs immediate attention

We can help you define where and how assessments can add value to your business. And then help you build and execute the program to ensure that you get meaningful benefits for both your business and your people.

Note: Many of these assessments can also be completed by paper and pencil.

Organizational

Employee Survey
This survey is based on the premise that an organization’s ability to integrate people, culture, and work dictates its success, but challenges in these areas can be difficult, and expensive to diagnosis. By converting the perceptual data of employees into a green, yellow and red light visual display, the survey efficiently reveals to managers what is working in the organization, what needs to be monitored, and what needs immediate attention, and it does so with a minimal time and dollar investment. For more information see Employee Surveys.
