Training on Target that will help you reach your business goals.
"People are not your greatest asset. The right people are."
(Jim Collins, Good to Great)
We rely a great deal on our staff. Getting it right at interviews is a challenge. Promoting the right people to key roles is critical, with profound effects if we get it wrong. Then once we’ve got the right people we need to ensure they continue to use and develop their skills as effectively as possible.
HR specialists too often admit that managers "...hire based on technical skills, but fire based on behavioural skills".
WHAT IF you could...
THEN...
Many managers have never been trained on how to interview effectively, or to create developmental plans for their staff. Most of us have to learn on the job. But measuring how successful we really are is then very difficult.
There must be a way to get reliable information in plain English quickly and easily, and at a sensible cost!
That is why Strategic Direction is proud to offer The McQuaig System™, a set of simple to use, highly effective, plain English web-based assessment tools. We are so confident of these tools that we offer a money-back guarantee. If they don't work for you, you don't have to pay.
The McQuaig System™ can help your business with:
After helping you identify the key characteristics of the job-role, we profile the relevant individuals you choose. We then provide you with the Reports you require.
For example, you want a Report to enable you to identify the person with the best fit for a role, or one to give you guidelines for interviewing the candidates effectively. You may then want to know how well an individual would fit with a new team, or you may also be looking for ideas for coaching and developing individuals in their existing or new roles.
The Reports are written in simple, straightforward language, so are ready to use by managers and individual employees. For the manager, this means consistent and high-quality recruiting and promotion decisions. For the employees this means realistic individual coaching and practical self-development tools which will help them in their day-to-day work.
