Talent Management Spotlight
Top Performer Profiling
Are you hiring and grooming adequate employees, or top performers? Smart companies take the guesswork out of hiring, development, and advancement through careful Top Performer Profiling. The time spent up front analyzing your current workforce and creating a Top Performer Profile pays off by allowing your organization to hire the right person the first time, who will stay a long time, and be highly productive in a short time.
Drake's Top Performer Profiling solution identifies:
The behaviors, styles and preferences that fit your culture and business environment.
• The knowledge and experience top performers have.
• The skills and abilities that differentiate top performers from others.
The benefits to your organization:
• A scientific profile of your top performers that guides your hiring decisions, directs staff development programs, and aids in team building as well as succession planning and advancement.
• Integration of this profile into your hiring process.
• Training on how to use the assessment tools to select and develop only the best performers
The difference between a top performer and an average performer is big enough to quickly provide a return on the investment in this solution. The big payoff is that you attract and hire the most talented individuals-people who are the right fit for you organization, not just the job.
