Hiring Managers get Power Tools for Christmas

When every dollar counts the three best things organizations can do is to make the best use of technology, develop the people you have, and hire the best people you can.

(PRWEB) January 1, 2004 --When every dollar counts the three best things organizations can do is to make the best use of technology, develop the people you have, and hire the best people you can. By bringing these three elements together The Management Connection, Inc. is developing a Profit and Productivity System (Prophet) to help businesses and its managers grow their organizations.

Fueled by a recent study commissioned by the American Society of Training & Development, Prophet aims to capitalize on the two most important words in business-profit and productivity.

The study shows that firms that invest in out-source training for their employees show a 218 percent higher gross income per employee than firms that do only in-house programs. Furthermore, companies that do no training at all are estimated to grow three times slower than firms that make training a priority.

The College Station-based firm, which specializes in providing customized professional facilitation services, decided it would offer its own brand of predictive development platforms.

Hence, the name Prophet, whose double meaning is derived from the comprehensive use of software tools to make predictive decisions about a persons future behavior to increase profit and productivity.

Together with individual interviews, a professional facilitator can help a person understand his own impact on the organization and lay out a leadership plan of action to increase performance.

Just like the results the professional facilitation processes is to its customers, The Management Connection is betting that the Prophet System will offer hiring, training and development processes in customizable platforms.

The first level is the use of different tools gaining insight to personality, communication style, teamwork, conflict and change...to create awareness of a persons fit within the organization and the job she is required to perform. The second level supports the awareness experience with a leadership plan of action that will enable someone to act on the results of the assessment. Level three includes a development process to work through their plan of action focussing on attitudes and behaviors over a series of team and individual conferences. Each level both defines the organizations culture and incorporates overall goals to align company vision, mission, and values.

The Management Connection, founded in 1991, has long been working with businesses, institutions for higher learning, and municipalities throughout Texas. The President, Joe M.
