Benchmark
High Performers – Set the Bar
This
assessment is conducted with the organization’s “high performers”
for a particular job title, i.e., “Corporate Attorney”. It assesses the traits deemed relevant for the target position.
The range of results can be used in numerous ways including
hiring, promoting, and benchmarking others.
The results are used to set a “Similarity Index” representing
the scores of the top performers in the organization who perform the
same job function as the participant.
When the participant score falls within the sample of top
performers it indicates a similarity to the target.
A Similarity Index can be calculated as a guide indicative of a
good job match and used for development, promotion, and recruiting.
