Listen "Ep14 Data-Driven Job Placement - Evaluating and Training Top Talent"
Episode Synopsis
Welcome to Episode 14 of Concentric.
Jason Croft and Gary De Rodriguez dig in today around the aspect of using data to not only find that right candidate for a specific job at your company but for those folks who are in those roles now, taking them through some assessments that will help you determine if this person is in their best role. And if not figure out how to train that person or find that perfect role for them based on their strengths.
There are so many different assessments out there that almost everyone in the business world is familiar with, but the one that Gary's talking about here in this episode is unique in not only how it assesses that individual, but also how it evaluates numerous jobs in terms of who you should be looking for, for that role.
But then a whole separate layer to it is a training aspect. For instance, a manager can make that assessment of an employee and determine that the role they are in requires certain traits or behaviors the employee doesn't have. But they're so close? This assessment identifies what they need to develop to really thrive in this role and then sets up the training to go along with this.
So not only does that "level up" that employee who goes through that training, but now the company and that manager have data to measure against, and the employee knows what they're shooting for.
I know we dig into the "humanness" of us all on this show, so it may seem counterintuitive to think we're concentrating on the numbers and data to assess somebody, but it's really the data of digging into who they really are, which then allows us to build up their great "humanness" in that role and help them, help the company, and really improve the entire company culture.
Make sure you reach out to Gary to have a conversation about implementing this assessment in your company.
