Given the myriad of competitive challenges facing organizations today, they can ill afford to also struggle with
- Needless and expensive employee turnover
- Disengaged employees
- A lack of leadership capabilities in their managerial ranks
- Dysfunctional staff members or work teams
- Sales people who can’t or won’t perform
Organizations need their leaders, managers, and people aligned and working together at the highest levels of performance. To that end, employee assessments can give organizations and its 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
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
Although an HR department may manage the day-to-day administration of an assessment program, these initiatives thrive in the organization when sponsored by senior leaders who are committed to building and retaining a high-performing workforce.
Our Assessment Products
PXT Select™
The PXT Select™ was designed to make the very human decisions about hiring both simpler and smarter. The PXT Select™ is a unique selection assessment that fills the gap between the resume and the interview and answers the three critical questions when considering an individual for any position. “Can they do the job?” which is a function of their cognitive (thinking) abilities, “Will they do the job?” which is a function of their occupational interests, and “How well will they work with others?” which is a function of their core behavioral traits. While having the right people in the right jobs is truly powerful, the PXT Select helps you shape the overall employee experience. The PXT Select’s suite of reports will help you onboard, mentor, coach, conduct succession planning, and develop employees to reach their full potential. Read More…
Emotional Intelligence
Emotional Intelligence is a measurement of our ability to recognize, respond to, and cope with emotions. While most traditional training programs tend to focus on hard skills, developing employees’ emotional intelligence is equally important. Unlike IQ, Emotional Intelligence (EI) is highly adaptable and can be learned and developed by anyone. Regardless of where one falls on the EI scale, they can always improve their EI and thereby improve their performance as a leader, their ability to influence effectively, and their resilience in the face of workplace pressures and stresses.
