Why are assessments important for your business?
That’s like asking, “Why does my car have an instrument panel?” The answer: They are both early warning indicators. They can alert you to the need to fix something now before things begin to break down. It’s tough to identify or fix something if you don’t know what’s wrong. Employee assessments are like an instrument panel for employees, managers and owners. They can give you information on a new candidate before they are ever hired. And, they can give you a reading on the state of your workforce as it is now.
Employees are the greatest strength of any business. They are also the greatest area of expense. Your people can be the foundation of your competitive edge, or they can be your greatest source of frustration.
Since your people make such a big difference, doesn’t it make sense to get as much information as possible before you hire or promote someone? What about understanding the people who are already in your organization? Knowing more about their judgment and personality is an excellent start to increasing performance and productivity.
We use a variety of tools and approaches with our clients.
