Description:
While most psychometric tests measure traits, states and abilities, they are not used to formally improve employee performance. As such, their usefulness for workforce performance management is often limited to anecdotal evidence or trust in the promises made by psychometric vendors.
Working with organisations like the BBC and Rentokil, psychologist Dr. Max Blumberg of the University of London has developed an innovative evidence-based profiling approach which uses off-the-shelf psychometrics to benchmark an organisation’s workforce performance. These psychometrics are then used to systematically drive new processes for recruitment, onboarding, learning, coaching and employee evaluation specifically designed for performance improvement.
Max will outline the approach and provide practical guidelines for its implementation, and if there is time, will help audience members to develop similar frameworks for their own organisations
The presentation will last approximately 45 minutes and will be followed by a question and answer session.
We look forward to welcoming you to this event.
