Performance Tools

Overview

Everyone knows that strategic planning and training are essential to creating a successful organization. But even the best planning and comprehensive training fails if you have the wrong people in the wrong seats sitting on your organizational bus.

Human capital is often the biggest, most costly investment any organization makes. It is also one of the most complex and difficult areas to navigate successfully. For example, hiring is not an exact science by any means. Anyone who has hired the ‘perfect candidate’ only to have their ‘evil twin’ show up for work can tell you that. These days you must have every available resource to help you make your decisions.

By incorporating assessment tools into the hiring and performance evaluation phases of your organization, human resource professionals, supervisors and managers give themselves a much needed advantage by adding a proven scientific instrument to the toolkit.

Finding the best fit for your employees promotes increased job satisfaction, higher productivity, and reduced personnel costs associated with recruiting, hiring, training, and turnover.

IPI provides a comprehensive array of employee assessment instruments that help organizations use the information as a competitive edge in today’s frenzied scramble for talent.

Our employee assessment tools, performance evaluations, and related instruments target all phases of employment, from selection and hiring to training, coaching, and managing for optimum performance.

More specifically, they provide objective, accurate and reliable data that:

  • help employers to achieve the right job ‘fit’
  • help managers to lead, coach and motivate effectively
  • help employees to direct their behaviors to achieve greater productivity and profitability
