Developing a Stronger Organization, Team and Team Member

Our assessments can create baseline indicators of your organization’s talent bank, culture and motivation.  We can use this data to create tools that impact all of your people processes including: career paths, development plans, recruitment/selection and reward/recognition.

Let us help with your goals to:

Identify tomorrow’s leaders, develop today’s leaders and create succession plans

Our on-line personality assessment measures an individual’s preferences for managing operations and for creating visionary strategies. Combined, these dimensions create a leadership profile that can be matched against the requirements of the position. Coupling this with a 360 degree feedback assessment to share insight into actual leadership strengths & opportunities provides you with the tools you need to build your leadership talent bank of tomorrow.  Finally, interest inventories may be used to create career paths at all levels in your organization.

Identify organizational culture & employee motivations

Our on-line assessment tools can be used to measure the predominate culture based upon employee’s dominate beliefs and practices to help guide the development of your organization’s strategy and to evaluate the success of change programs.  Employee motivations may also be measured to identify what types of reward and recognition processes align with their preferences. Other baseline indicators can be measured such as the degree to which team members apply emotional intelligence competencies, customer service tendencies and team-based behaviors.

Recruit, retain & develop key team members

With job profiling and assessments, you can decrease hiring costs and timeframes by identifying & measuring required competencies and behaviors for a given position.  Prescreening applicants with these assessments allows you to have a more qualified, targeted applicant pool and saves you time and money by collecting this information on the front end of your interview process. And, when you match team member strengths with position needs, you’re more likely to have & keep the right person in the right job.

Finally, measuring team member motivations allows you to share the right incentives, recognition & reward processes with them – ensuring your likelihood of retaining them.

Develop more effective teams

Creating a team profile of preferred team member roles & behaviors helps you to identify gaps and to create a development plan for achieving the team’s mission.  The plan may include what attributes are needed on the team for future hires and what tasks and focus upon team relationships need to be realigned.  Team leadership profiles may also be assessed with on-line tools and compared to the team member desires and needs for leadership style.
