Hire for fit!
In today’s economy, it’s critically important to have the right person in every job in your organization. In fact, having great people may be your biggest strategic advantage in a state of constant change.
With the battle for talent being at an all time high and employee engagement levels at an all time low, “employee fit” has never been more important.
Traditional hiring practices often rely more on gut feelings than objective measures. Employee assessments provide consistent, in-depth and objective insights into an individual’s thinking style, behavioral traits, occupational interests, and match to specific jobs within your organization. They help your leaders’ interview and select people who have the highest probability of being successful in a role, and provide practical recommendations for coaching them to maximum performance. They also provide your organization consistent language and metrics to support talent management, strategic workforce and succession planning.
Employees who are well matched to their jobs are 2.5X times more productive and experience significantly higher levels of overall job satisfaction.
Hiring for fit and building employee assessments into your management practices will help you:
- Select people most likely to succeed in a job
- Reduce time needed for people to become fully productive in a new role
- Improve alignment and communication between managers and employees
- Reduce employee absenteeism and turnover
- Increase sales performance and customer retention
- Increase overall workforce capability, productivity, and agility
