  • Map a workforce hiring strategy! Add missing essential elements: Objectivity and Job Fit

    Hiring employees who fail to perform to expectations is costly and disruptive.
    Without objective tools, hiring teams often rely heavily on gut instincts and superficial information, leading to poor hiring decisions.

    The critical elements of OBJECTIVITY and JOB FIT are often overlooked! With the PXT Select you can build customized success models. The success models provide an accurate, objective description of the qualities required for high performance. Your team is now ready to compare candidates and current employees against these models to measure job fit objectively.

    After understanding your organizational goals, we'll work together to develop a workforce selection strategy that is aligned with your culture and the essential attributes that drive success in each of your positions.

    After all...“If you don’t know where you’re going, you might end up somewhere else.” Yogi Berra.

  • Finally, leadership/management information gets real!

    Most feedback at work is from a boss to a direct report. The CheckPoint 360 expands that feedback to allow the employee, their boss(es), direct reports, peers and others to provide feedback in key areas, including communications, leadership, adaptability, relationships, task management, production, development of others and personal development.

    The questions are clearly written and easily understood. The results include an executive summary and the most critical skills needed for the present job as identified by the manager and his/her boss. The development plan provides detail on how the manager can maximize their strengths and address areas of improvement.
