Benchmarking is making note of what works well and doing more of it. Since the 1980s, progressive organizations have bench marked employee performance by keeping records of sales production, making notes on work habits, and gauging personality styles. However, some organizations hired people who matched the profile of their top management without taking into account changes in the marketplace, the products and the customers’ needs.
Job benchmarking is a new development made possible by the innovative TriMetrix™ System. Key people familiar with a job answer a series of three scientifically developed surveys. The results are a crystal clear 22 page report of what the job requires in regards to talents, motivations, and behavior. This preents the job from the insideout, including identification of the top 23 attributes or talents (out of a possible field of 79), 6 motivators, and 8 behavioral traits.
TriMetrix™ - What about New Hires?
As part of the screening process for new hires, the most promising ones complete a Personal Talent Plus Report ™ which identifies their top 23 attributes, 6 motivators, and 8 behavior traits. This is then compared to the TriMetrix™ System Job Plus Report to see if there is a match. With more than one likely candidate, the information is condensed into one report, the TriMetrix™ Talent Plus Comparison Report. This will give you side-by-side comparisons so you can select the most promising candidate from a field of many.
Should You Hire Based Solely on the TriMetrix™ Reports?
We recommend the following formula for making hiring decisions. This formula is 1/3 objective and 2/3 subjective:
1/3 based on TriMetrix (objective)
1/3 based on the interview (subjective)
1/3 based on the résumé (subjective)
TriMetrix™ - What about Employees currently in the job that is benchmarked?
It is recommended current employees also complete Personal Talent Plus™ Reports. They will benefit in two ways: they will see areas that are working well for them and areas that are causing frustration. In both cases they will gain clarity and focus on where more education and skill building can pay enormous rewards. No more guesswork.
Research has proven that job-related talents are directly related to job satisfaction and personal performance. People are well positioned to achieve success when they are engaged in work suited to their inherent attributes, behavioral style and unique values. The TriMetrix™ System Personal Talent Report can be compared with specific job requirements outlined in TriMetrix™ System Job and Job Plus Reports. When the talent required by the job is clearly defined and in turn matched to the individual, everyone wins!
