In 2006, employers budgeted $55.8 billion for formal training in the U.S. (according to research conducted by advisory firm Bersin & Associates for Training magazine). That figure was up 7 percent from 2005, the report said, thanks partly to a new focus on talent management and employee development to address "talent gaps in the global workforce." Trends are continuing to rise.
Have You Tapped Into This Vital Opportunity?
A Complete Assessment Solution
In today’s marketplace, the competitive talent trends make it crucial to have an effective way to assess, develop and retain top talent. Companies need to go beyond the traditional resume, interview and yearly review process to discover the real characteristics of superior performance.
Based on a unique 37-factor analysis, the TriMetrix system reveals a person’s specific traits in three areas that describe the how, why and what of individual performance. This is accomplished through an unbiased assessment of the Behaviors people bring to the job, the Values that motivate people to do a job, and their potential to provide the Personal Skills required by the job. As a job benchmarking tool, the same three areas are used to measure the requirements of the job, providing a complete system to compare talent to the position and create the best job fit. With all of the components in the TriMetrix system, this powerful tool ensures that you hire, develop and retain top talent.
Behaviors: The How
Knowledge is the biggest modifier of behavior. With the behavioral results from a TriMetrix assessment, individuals learn to understand, appreciate and adapt their behavior style for effective communication. Based on the DISC theory, behavior is measured in four dimensions; dominance, influence, steadiness and compliance. The results enhance the hiring process by revealing how an individual will perform. Furthermore, behavioral coaching empowers individuals to take action towards professional growth.
Values: The Why
As a window through which we view the world, values are the drivers of our behavior, or what motivates our actions. Values are measured in six areas: theoretical, utilitarian, aesthetic, social, individualistic and traditional. With the knowledge of values, you can encourage employees in a way that satisfies their inner drive right from the start. The results will benefit both hiring and coaching initiatives by revealing why an individual acts the way they do, or what motivates their behavior.
Personal Skills: The What
Through the Personal Talent Skills Inventory (PTSI), the TriMetrix Talent Report includes a description of what an individual “can do” in 23 capacities, or personal skills, related to the business environment. The PTSI is unique in its ability to assess an individual’s cognitive structure through three dimensions of thought. The assessment results reveal what individuals are capable of doing by ranking their personal skills and describing their potential for workplace performance. By gaining true insight into the perspectives that affect superior performance, we can better coach individuals and utilize their skills.
