Identify the Right HR Assessment Tool for Higher Business Performance
San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) July 30, 2013 -- Organizations of all sizes are increasingly relying on tests and assessments of all types to improve the value of their human capital, according to Birkman International's 2007 report. With tens of thousands of assessment tools in the market today, finding the right assessment tool to improve organizational decision-making is even harder than ever. One wrong choice may not only lead to wasted time and money but potential legal headaches.
“The key is to educate those tasked with making decisions around assessment tools to be able to identify the right tool for achieving a given objective, evaluate the assessment’s quality, and be able to legally justify the use of a particular test,” says Stephen B. Jeong, Ph.D., an Industrial-Organizational Psychologist and Waypoint People Solutions’ managing partner.
Moreover, Dr. Jeong says it is becoming more common for companies to face negative consequences for inappropriate use of assessment tools to make high-stakes decisions – especially when it comes to tests that adversely impact protected classes. Relying on a well-known test doesn’t necessarily mean that it will be used in the right context and manner to be legally defensible.
