Employee talent assessments help organizations understand their workforce. They can be used throughout the life cycle of your employees. Use assessments for lateral moves, promotions, or team building. PDServices’ employee talent assessments provide valuable information and help you evaluate an employee’s traits and cognitive abilities to see if they would be a good job fit for another role.
Our employee talent assessments help with onboarding and management. Objective data on an employee’s cognitive ability, behavioral characteristics and occupational interests is a gold mine for an employee’s manager. Imagine on-boarding a new employee while knowing how quickly they learn, how well they reason on the job, how people oriented they are and what they like to do. Think of how that data can help a manager diagnose the cause of performance issues, employee conflicts, or issues with managers. Job-fit manager reports and development insight reports can help.
It’s hard to find a perfect match for a job benchmark. But, gaps can often be filled with training and development. Employee talent assessments point out areas that need attention. In addition, cognitive measures help customize training and development to the employee’s learning ability.
Testing of existing employees helps you understand if current employees should be considered for other roles. Our talent assessments can show you if they will be a good fit and where they need development.
Most businesses prefer to promote from within. This helps morale and engagement and can improve retention. In doing so, keep in mind that different jobs require different characteristics. For example, our top salesperson may not be the best choice for promotion to sales manager. Some of the traits that contribute to sales success may stand in the way of management success. Our employee talent assessments can help you evaluate an employee’s fit or match to another job.
Internal candidates should go through the same selection process as external candidates. Compare internal candidates to a job benchmark. Identify and explore differences. Determine if the candidate is a good fit or where they need training and development. See our Pre-employment Testing page for more information.
360 Degree Feedback is an employee talent assessment that helps you understand how a manager is viewed by subordinates, peers, and up line managers. You can create a development plan based on the outcome. See our 360 Degree Feedback page for more information.
It is a challenge to create and lead teams effectively since they often have a short life span. Teams are valuable because team members bring different skills and ideas to the table. It is critical to understand the behavioral characteristics of each team member. Teams benefit from a broad range of characteristics but differences in characteristics can also lead to conflict. A team leader must understand who their “go to” people are for different things. Talent assessments give team leaders insight into team members’ characteristics and also recognize where there is potential for conflict. A team assessment report provides this information and helps make the team more productive.
Strengthen succession planning by including job fit and leadership assessments. Compare employees to the benchmark for a targeted job. This will identify best fits for the job when planning for succession and also drive development activities to prepare successors for additional responsibility. See our succession planning page for more detail on the process and tools to streamline succession planning.
