23-Corporate2011Our approach

We’ll help you to...

Our assessments will empower

you to transform the performance

of your teams and your individuals

– and deliver an immediate impact

on your organisation.

Spanning the entire employee

lifecycle, from recruiting and

retaining staff, to developing and

managing performance, our

assessments will give you a high

level of certainty in all of your

people decisions.


23-Corporate2011Recruit

The right hiring decision can

have a huge impact on the

performance of your team,

function or line of business.

Get it wrong and you’re looking

at a cost of up to 2.5 times the

individual’s salary. And the

disruption to your business and

your teams can be

considerable.


23-Corporate2011Recruit

Our assessments

will help you:

Identify the candidates

with an ideal fit

Speed up your

recruitment process

Make your selection

decisions clearer

Hire people who will

stay with your company


23-Corporate2011Retain

With one in four employees

stating they intend to leave

their employer in the next

12 months*, retaining staff is

critical to delivering success

in any organisation.

Get it right and you’re

delivering consistently on your

business targets with a happy,

loyal workforce. Get it wrong

and you’re investing cash in

new recruits, and dealing with

disruption to the business.

Our assessments

will help you:


23-Corporate2011Develop

Employers say they need

to focus on leadership and

front-line people

management in order to

meet their business

objectives over the next two

years.*

But with training budgets under

more pressure than ever, how do

you make sure your learning and

development investment counts?

23-Corporate2011Develop

Identify each individual’s

exact areas for development

Give your training

more impact

Be a more effective

people manager

Transform the performance

of your teams and individuals

Our assessments

will help you:


23-Corporate2011Manage

On average, 80% of

management time is spent

on poor performers*. But

with so little attention

directed at top and good

performers, how do you

ensure you’re investing the

right amount of effort to

get maximum results?
