Behavioral Assessments Improve Employee Performance
The use of behavioral assessments have increased significantly over the past several years, accounting for their use in over 89% of Fortune 500 companies. Behavioral assessments provide valuable information to managers regarding workplace behavior, communication style, leadership potential, ability to assume risk and much more. They add tremendous insight into team building, leadership development, succession planning, and conflict resolution.
The Predictive Index® is a well-validated behavioral assessment tool in use for over fifty-five years. It provides insight into the natural workplace behaviors of prospective and existing employees. PI® is used by many Fortune 500 companies and organizations of all sizes in over 150 countries around the world, and is available in 65 languages, including Braille.
Develop Your Employees
For an organization to maximize its investment in its people, managers have to become good coaches. They must learn how to lead and develop others.
PI gives your managers accurate, reliable information about employee motivation, drive, behavior and operating styles. It gives managers the tools they need to bring about positive, productive changes in workplace behavior.
Motivate Your Employees
Every contact a manager has with an employee is an opportunity to motivate. Every action and communication that takes place in the organization has an impact on the people within it. How will they respond? Will everyone respond in a similar manner? (Not likely.) How can we gain enthusiasm, energy and a "push from behind" for our business initiatives? How can we maximize the amount of energy each employee will devote to the benefit of the company and his or her success in the job?
PI provides an in-depth understanding of the specific factors that motivate each employee. It also provides information about how employees perceive the demands of their environment, the types of work that most invigorate them, and how to work with them to attain highly productive outcomes. The results are measurable increases in employee morale and retention.
Back to TopRetain Valuable Employees
Retaining talented, motivated people is vital to the success of any company. Often, the primary distinguishing characteristic of an industry leader is the quality and motivation of people across the organization. In addition, the cost of turnover is enormous, not only in terms of out-of-pocket expenses related to severance, recruitment and selection, but also in lost opportunity and productivity.
PI can help to improve employee retention by improving the fit between individuals and jobs at the point of selection and during periods of organizational change. Good, effective management of employees who are motivated to perform well also improves employee retention.
Good Job Fit
When people are naturally suited for the demands of their jobs, they are happier and stay longer. Before you can successfully match a person to a job, you have to know what the job requires. The PRO (Performance Requirement Options) worksheet was developed to help define job requirements. The PRO gives you a "road map" for the behaviors and drives necessary for top quality performance in each position.
The PRO and the Predictive Index® (PI®) work together. The PRO helps you recognize the specific behaviors that lead to effective performance in a particular job. Then, comparing individuals' PI with job needs, the PRO highlights the fits and gaps, enabling better-informed selection, training, coaching, and performance management. Good job fit contributes to increased employee loyalty and retention.
