Problem solvers

Our key consulting approach is to make sure that the foundations for employee selection, management and motivation practice standards are in place and understood. The ability to assess Workforce Fitness is an integral part of achieving Workforce Alignment and an integral part of what we do. We take a 4 phase approach.

Measures of Workforce Fitness - Role (Competencies & Context)
		Skills, Knowledge and Behaviours
Strengths & Development Needs
		Appraisals, Rewards and Remuneration

We set about understanding the competencies of a role and the application of this knowledge to a designated purpose or purposes.


Defined Measures of Workforce Alignment (Derivatives of Workforce Fitness)
		Likely to perform immediately
Possesses Culture and Values
		Longer term contributor

Phase 1 & 2 provide us with additional layers of information and knowledge across 3 levels - & a measure of job, organisation and future fit.

Measures of Workforce Fitness - Person (Assessment)
Empathy & Self Esteem

Practical Thinking & Role Awareness		Systems Judgement and Self Direction

We then determine how to measure these competencies in existing and future employees. This is against the profile of "top performance".
