Hiring & Developing Employees in Tough Economic Times

Businesses need to be looking for every advantage to become and stay more profitable during these tough economic times. The Winslow Assessment can give you an edge not only in your hiring process but in developing or promoting your current employees

Consider this question. Why is it that organizations have set standards, policies and procedures to optimize the work environment but when it comes to the evaluation, development and selection process it is often left to the “tyranny of the urgent”?  Just get a warm body in there and hope it works out.  If these standards were applied throughout an organization it would spell immediate disaster.

The most critical pieces of the puzzle include the people who keep it all together and their ability to add success or failure to an organization’s productivity. Taking the time to Assess these people is too often overlooked and not given enough importance.  The Winslow Research Institute has developed a test that is virtually fool proof in assessing human behavioral traits that are vital in the business place.

“Behavioral assessments testing is the most objective, economical way of obtaining necessary information for predicating an applicant’s probability of success in any position.”

Dr. Denis Waitley

Most information on applications for employment is predictably subjective. Resumes present only positive information, some of it exaggerated. Stricter EEOC regulations and the threat of lawsuits for discrimination make it difficult to obtain negative information from an applicant’s previous employers. Even former employers willing to comment on an applicant rarely give the real reasons he or she left the former organization. Experienced interviewers can often obtain additional information, but many applicants are skilled at being interviewed and can mask their true personality.

Behavioral assessment testing is the most objective, economical way of obtaining necessary information for predicting an applicant’s probability of success in any position.

The Winslow Assessment reigns at the top in covering all the concerns mentioned above and giving you the edge in hiring and promoting in today’s competitive job market.
