PREDICTIVE INDEX™ (BEHAVIORIAL)
The Predictive Index™ is scientifically validated and designed to understand people and teams—specifically what drives behaviors at work.
Discover how to impact that behavior, and ignite enthusiasm. The Talent Optimization Platform aligns business strategy with talent strategy through four areas of focus.
DESIGN | HIRE | INSPIRE | DIAGNOSE
Harris Whitesell Consulting, LLC is a Certified Partner of The Predictive Index™.
Better work, better world, through talent optimization.
Predict on-the-job success with insights from the Predictive Index Behavioral Assessment.
Use the PI Behavioral Assessment to hire candidates who are hardwired to be a great fit, to design teams that perform like magic, and to manage employees in a way that pushes them to perform at the top of their game.
A simple framework for understanding your employees’ and candidates’ workplace behaviors.
Did you know that cognitive ability is the number one predictor of job performance?
The timed PI Cognitive AssessmentTM is a cognitive ability test for employment.
This assessment measures a person’s general mental ability and capacity for critical thinking. In just 12 minutes you’ll have more information about someone’s likelihood of success and job performance than you would after a one-hour interview or standard aptitude test.
Job descriptions may tell us a lot about tasks and skills, but they tell us little about the kind of person who will succeed best in that job. This creates a huge disconnect for hiring managers trying to match real people to job descriptions. Most of us cross that chasm by relying on “gut instinct” and pay the price down the road. According to research, 46% of new hires fail within 18 months.
Create job targets before your job postings go up. PI gives you unlimited access to our simple Job Assessment. Completing this process helps you X-ray each job and identify the underlying traits that will lead to success in each specific role. The assessment can be created by a single user or taken collaboratively by a team of stakeholders. Once all the input is given, we’ll generate a job target that will serve as your guide to making a great hire.
Remove bias from hiring. We all have biases that sneak into our decisions—whether we recognize them or not. By creating objective measures of both the job and the candidate, we inoculate ourselves against those biases. Plus, behavioral drives and cognitive ability have been proven to be strong predictors of job performance. Having this information is a powerful tool for both your recruitment and your development efforts.
Define your existing roles. Don’t stop with new hires. Use the Job Assessment to objectively assess all the roles in your organization—even the filled ones. Job Targets should be used as a fundamental part of your talent strategy and succession planning, and are a critical tool for coaching and employee development.
The PI Employee Experience Survey measures employee engagement. It provides employees a chance to provide candid, confidential feedback across four categories:
- Job
- Manager
- Team
- Organization
What’s so special about these four categories? They determine whether your people feel engaged or disengaged.
In addition to the categorical questions, four questions map to overall engagement. Say goodbye to guesswork; the PI Employee Experience Survey gives you concrete data insights so you can understand exactly how engaged your people are—and why.
The PI Employee Experience Survey delivers personalized action plans. What good are engagement scores if you don’t know how to act on them? Wonder no more! PI tells you exactly what to do; it’s like turn-by-turn directions for boosting engagement.
The PI Employee Experience Survey also provides you with macro (company-wide) and micro (team level) reporting. Every manager with five or more employees gets their own team report. This isolates problems that aren’t widespread—but should be fixed. Team-level reporting also isolates high-performing teams. When you understand what’s working well you can use that insight to develop your other managers.
Don’t assume your people are engaged and bought into your vision. Know where employee engagement is strong—and where it’s suffering—with the easy-to-administer PI Employee Experience Survey.
