BOSTON, MA--(Marketwire - April 6, 2010) - Talent Assessment Strategies, a recent study by Aberdeen Group, a Harte-Hanks Company (
According to Mollie Lombardi, Research Analyst with Aberdeen's Human Capital Management practice, "top performing companies know that you need to look much further than just how well an employee performs. You need to consider their behavioral, ethical, and cognitive make-up. Assessments allow you to determine who has that ideal makeup, what role they fit best in, and will give you a means to reasonably predict how well they will perform in the future."
"Competencies give the employer an idea of what they are really assessing for. If you don't know what makes your top performers tick, you won't be able to replicate their success across the organization," said Jayson Saba, Senior Research Associate with Aberdeen's Human Capital Management practice.
By identifying the proven steps adopted by top organizations, this comprehensive guide will serve as a resource for any organization seeking to implement an assessment process that can lead to better decisions and significantly improve quality of hire, employee performance, and ultimately business results.
Aberdeen's report provides more detail about how top performing organizations carry out their assessment strategies in a way that allows for a holistic view of the employee and accurately reflects the needs of the business.
