Tony Mayer Consulting is an Authorized Strategic Partner of Profiles International, Inc. Profiles International has a complete catalog of state-of-the-art occupational assessments that target all phases of employment, from selection and hiring to training, self-coaching and management performance. The most expensive problems companies deal with today can be solved (or at least diminished) with a better understanding of the people you employ. By capitalizing on an individual's strengths, you can achieve more desirable results. In short, these assessments help companies place the right person in the right job – like putting a square peg into a square hole. It is important to get the right person in the right job at the start. This prevents having to go back later to try and force that square peg into a round hole, costing a company money and productivity. It has been proven that using assessments is a win-win for the company and the employee.
Properly used assessments help companies reduce turnover while increasing productivity and job satisfaction. People with tremendous potential are hired and promoted every day and put into jobs that waste their abilities. Matching people successfully with the work they do is the key. When people feel competent, are interested in their daily duties, and have the opportunity to use their inherent talents, their productivity soars.
All assessments are defined on the attached link to Profiles International. Once there, click on “employee assessments” in the first paragraph to see the assessments Profiles has to offer. They range from:
- pre-hire screening (the Step One Survey II),
- to job fit, leadership development, and succession planning (the Profile XT and Profiles Sales Assessment),
- to customer service (Customer Service Profile) and
- full circle feedback (Checkpoint 360).
The U.S. Department of Labor’s position on assessments:
- Employment tests can be used to gather accurate information about job-related characteristics. This information helps assess the fit between people and jobs.
- Tests can be used to predict employee and applicant job performance.
- Appropriate use of professionally developed assessment tools enables organizations to make more effective employment-related decisions.
