Match employees to jobs for maximum productivity with job match testing using the Profile XT

There is no greater tragedy in business than putting competent employees into jobs where they are destined to fail. When good people are put into jobs to which they do not fit, their potential is wasted. Job Match or Job Fit is the single most important factor in job success.

The classic example of a poor job fit is when a company picks its best salesperson to be a sales manager and then finds that he or she is less successful, happy, or productive in the new position. The qualities that make a great salesperson are different from those of a great sales manager. It is the extremely rare individual that can do both well.

Succession Planning

Succession Planning is an important part of a company's workforce performance management system.

The hallmark of a great leader is one who sets his or her successors up for success, rather than failure.

However, in many companies this is not the case. Jim Collins, author of Good to Great, 1991, found that executives set their successors up for failure, chose weak successors, or both in over 75% of the comparison companies in his study. Collins indicated that because of ego or what he calls the "Big Dog Syndrome", these executives did not leave behind companies that would be great after they were gone.

Many companies experience that those they promote may not have the right characteristics necessary to perform great at their new position, although they may have the right skills they lack 'job-fit'.
