Leadership and Team Assessments

What process and tools does your organization use to reduce turnover, increase employee engagement, or develop your leadership team? Are they practical, cost effective, and deliver results that leaders and teams can apply immediately? Does your current selection process contribute to reducing turnover or causing it?

We offer an integrated selection and "First 90 Days" solution that assists our clients to select the right person for the right role and "jump start" their early success. Our solution combines an EEOC compliant job fit, candidate fit, and organizational fit assessment tools with practical, hands-on coaching and selection process improvement consulting.

Choosing the right person is another part of the management challenge today, as over 50% of newly hired or promoted employees fail to reach expectations within their first eighteen months. Most organizations either replace the failing 50% or settle for sub-optimal performance that erodes their ability to meet their objectives.

While the number of potential candidates is higher, the prescreening process now requires more time and expertise to ensure that the right external and internal candidates are selected and ready to succeed. Existing leaders also benefit from understanding their strenghts and development needs, and build effective relationships with their manager, team, and stakeholders.

We offer self-service, certification, and full-service options that align with your organizational resources and priorities.

The Happiness Begins @ Work Inventory will help you better understand who you are, what behaviors make you unique, and what behaviors might be hurting you. Once you complete the Happiness Begins @ Work Inventory, we will email you three reports to assist you to understand and apply your results:

  • The Manager’s Report is the main report we use with companies to help them hire the best people for the job. The Manager’s Report outlines your seven key attributes and your top three growth areas. The Manager’s Report also includes simple yet powerful techniques to help you better manage your weaknesses.
  • The second report provides you with a chart of your 24 unique behavioral traits and how you compare with the rest of the population. These traits include: Achievement, Dominance, Endurance, Order, Intraception, Nurturing, Affiliation, Exhibition, Autonomy, Aggression, Need for Change, Need for Emotional Support, Self-Critical, Willingness to Defer, Self-Control, Self-Confidence, Personal Adjustment, Creative Personality, Military Leadership, Critical Thinking, Nurturing Parent, Adult, Free-Child and Adapted Child.
  • The third report provides you with detailed definitions of all of the behavior traits listed above so you can get an even deeper understanding of yourself and others.

Finally, no inventory can perfectly capture all there is to know about you, but we have found that if you approach The Happiness Begins@ Work Inventory with an open mind, you will be well on your way to matching who you are with what you do.
