PURPOSE of the GUIDE
In today's competitive marketplace and complex legal environment, employers face the challenge of attracting, developing, and retaining the best employees. Michael Eisner, CEO of the Disney Corporation, recognized the impact of personnel decisions on a business' bottom-line when he remarked, "My inventory goes home every night."
This guide is to help managers and human resource (HR) professionals use assessment practices that are the right choices for reaching their organizations' HR goals. It conveys the essential concepts of employment testing in easy-to-understand terms so that managers and HR professionals can
- Evaluate and select assessment tools/procedures that maximize chances for getting the right fit between jobs and employees
- Administer and score assessment tools that are the most efficient and effective for their particular needs
- Interpret assessment results in an accurate manner
- Understand the professional and legal standards to be followed when conducting personnel assessment.
