Five Rules That Can Boost Productivity In The Workplace

Five Rules That Can Boost Productivity In The Workplace

By:


You'd like productivity in the workplace - that is, a beehive of activity with employees take a look at assessment tools we're also analyzing them against five simple rules. The tools that we recommend for use in selecting candidates must meet ALL five of these criteria.

1. The tool must measure what matters. This means that top performers and poor performers in the same job must consistently score differently. One tool does not work for all jobs or all businesses but whatever tool is selected it must have some connection to the 4 critical aspects of fit - fit with the job, fit with the manager, fit with team and fit with the organization.

2. No tool must ever be used to pass or fail an applicant. The assessment provides only part of the information you should think about when you're evaluating a candidate's fit. A tool, when used property, should tell you just how if you hire this individual this is what you're going to get. Beware of any assessment that automatically advances or disqualifies candidates, purporting to make the decision for you.

3. Does this assessment have a distortion scale that tells us clearly how confident we can be in the accuracy of the information we have been reading about the candidate? Knowing this score gives us perspective on what we're reading in the report.

4. A tool is just the first part of the face-to-face interview. Assessments must give you the recruiter with an interview guide or placement report that is customized based on how the candidate responded to the questions. A suitable report will not only give the interviewer information on which questions to ask but should also explain why to ask them and what to listen for in the response.

5. And finally, the information compiled during the candidate selection process all too often winds up never being used again after the person is hired. A HiringSmart approved assessment tool supplies a coaching report that can be used through the entire employee life-cycle to assist with onboarding, future development and succession planning. Try to remember, the only individuals who can improve productivity in the workplace are your staff. Being sure the fit is absolutely right starts even prior to the initial meeting so be sure your assessment tools work to your best advantage.
