Essentials for the Productivity Toolkit
Profiles' Productivity Toolkit is as important as your first aid kit. The scrapes and scratches of work life are easier to manage when you have these excellent assessments at the ready:
ProfileXT®
The PXT uses several scales to determine job fit, a key indicator of how well an employee will perform and how long he will stay on the job. PXT puts to work a Job Match Pattern that your organization develops by examining employees who are most and least successful in a specific position. Their scores provide benchmarks for new job candidates in the same position.
- Allows you to match the test taker's score on each scale item to a Job Match Pattern of scores for a specific position. The further the score falls outside of the pattern (high or low), the greater the negative impact on the Job Match Percent.
- Lets you find more top-performing candidates for a job.
- Helps you find more appropriate positions for those who are a poor fit for the job.
People who use the PXT as directed consistently report more productivity. And there are many ways to use it. For example, those who rely on PXT companywide have found it helpful for determining the best candidates for internal promotions.
Profiles Team AnalysisTM
The information in this analysis comes from data collected through the Profiles Performance IndicatorTM and makes team building both challenging and rewarding. The team analysis system highlights the attributes of each team member, reveals group strengths and alerts the leader to potential problems. The information helps eliminate conflict, build cooperation, improve communication, and assure that the team achieves results.
Profiles Workforce CompatibilityTM
PWC's strength lies in two key areas: what it measures and the information provided by those measurements. PWC examines seven important characteristics that define the relationship between the employee and the manager: self-assurance, self-reliance, conformity, optimism, decisiveness, objectivity, and approach to learning.
Once those characteristics are measured and analyzed for both boss and worker, each receives a report. The manager's report provides a detailed description of the differences between the two on each characteristic, as well as a "best practice" working style for both the manager and the employee. A "Working Together" section gives ideas for managing the employee, and a "Next Steps" section offers detailed instructions on how to proceed. The employee's report shows the worker his or her similarities to-and differences from-the boss, and includes ideas for creating a smoother working relationship.
PWC helps both manager and employee communicate better, identify conflicts before they occur and successfully resolve problems.
CheckPoint 360°TM
This useful assessment helps answer these questions:
- What strengths of this manager can I capitalize on?
- Which areas should my manager focus on developing?
- How can I provide guidance in this area?
- How do I effectively manage conflict?
- Do I have enough leaders in the pipeline to meet tomorrow's needs?
CheckPoint 360° employs 70 interview questions about specific management behaviors to give a complete picture of a manager's capabilities in areas such as communication, leadership, adaptability, relationship-building skills, task management, productivity, development of others, and self-development. Profiles' clients have used CheckPoint360° to help them grow effective leaders, build their talent bench, guide leaders through career transitions, develop top talent, and use leadership development to enact key changes in the business.
