Description
Dr. Leslie Miller, Ph.D, PHR, will meet with us to lead an interactive session on The Five W’s of Assessment: Who, What, When, Where, and Why?
In a difficult economy, selecting, developing, and retaining the right talent to sustain organizational performance is more important than ever. While organizational leaders have, for years, used assessments to make better selection and development decisions about talent, many may not be using assessments as broadly, in the same way, or as frequently as top performing organizations. Lack of awareness of the broad choices available may result in missed opportunities to fully utilize assessments—powerful tools that can help organizations make better decisions about talent and can help minimize the risk of a bad hire, promotion, or a poor development decision.
Fully utilizing assessments can ensure, especially in today’s economy where strong and sustained talent is more important than ever, that talents’ efforts are aligned with organizational goals and talent can positively influence and sustain organizational performance.
During this session, participants will increase their understanding of:
- Who to assess, including the employee populations and job roles assessments are appropriate for
- What should be assessed, including how to tie assessment to business
- When to assess, including the primary times for assessment
- Where to find assessments, including what assessments are available and how you will know if the assessments is a good one Why assess, including the consequences of not using assessment
Please join us during this interactive session where we will explore the five W’s of assessment and explore some of the latest and greatest assessments!
The event will be held at the Goodwill Industries of Central Florida at 8:30 am.
