Using Assessments in Human Resource Consulting

We are presenting a 90-minute workshop at the Connecticut Psychological Association Convention in Hartford!

The topic is "Using Assessments in Corporate Consulting" and we will talk about the benefits of crafting a HR strategy based on scientifically designed human resource assessments.

Workplaces are undergoing major changes due to a variety of reasons ranging from changes in technology to the uncertain economy. As a result, many organizations are dealing with issues such as low employee engagement, high turnover rates and unhappy customers. The case of the JetBlue flight attendant brings these issues in sharp focus. As HR and organizational development professionals strive to play a more strategic role in resolving these issues, the use of assessments is becoming indispensable.

Personality assessments provide unique insight and can help businesses select, develop and retain capable talent that is well-aligned with the organizational culture. Organizational assessments yield information on topics such as employee satisfaction and morale. Employee assessments can be used to coach staff for effective leadership and management roles.

All types of assessments help to improve the overall effectiveness and productivity of the organization. View this Flash presentation for an overview of the major categories of assessments and how they can be used by organizations to improve employee as well as organizational performance.


Hope to see you at the Hartford-Windsor Marriott on November 12, 2010!
