Employment Assessment

Surveys indicate that over 9 of 10 involuntary job failures are due, not to the lack of employee skills, training, credentials, or ability, but to personality issues -- such as the inability to communicate effectively, work with others, solve problems, or resolve conflicts.

The professional assessment services of the Business Development Group provide an answer to this challenge! We offer a wide range of pre-employment, management development, and related assessment services to ensure your ability to find, manage, and motivate the right employees.

Only the highest quality assessment tools, scientifically validated and normed, are used in our assessment process. In contrast to “off the shelf” assessment products that involve nothing more than the generation of a “boilerplate” computer generated printout and offer little or no individual support in interpreting and making use of the results, all our assessment reports are individually written by our Ph.D. assessment specialist and are tailored to your unique needs. The opportunity to consult by phone, via email, or in person to ask questions about the assessment reports is always available.

Pre-Employment Assessment

Hiring the right person in the first place is obviously more cost-effective than attempting to salvage a poor hire. The pre-employment assessment services of Business Development Group are designed to identify the best possible fit to the demands and responsibilities of the positions you're seeking to fill. We'll examine personal assets and liabilities, work styles, problem-solving capacities, motivational patterns, career interests, and more. A variety of report formats are available, tailored to your company's unique needs and concerns.

Management Development Assessment

Forward-looking companies hire, not only for the present, but for the future. Identifying a job candidate's long-range capabilities, strengths and weaknesses, motivational patterns, and blind spots is only the beginning. By means of the Business Development Group's comprehensive management development assessment, you'll learn how to most effectively manage employees on an individualized basis and will have access to a detailed developmental plan to help employees become more productive and effective with each passing year.

Team Building and Conflict Resolution

In today's economy, employees' ability to work together has never been more crucial. No one person can have all the necessary competencies to get the job done, so making sure that team members can communicate effectively, profit from each other's strengths rather than wasting time and energy arguing about the shape of the table, and make productive use of diversity is essential. Business Development Group's team building assessment is the answer! We have extensive experience in helping teams to resolve conflicts, appreciate differences, partner effectively, and enhance each other's capabilities.

Culture Audit and Succession Planning

The number one reason why corporate mergers, acquisitions, and buyouts fail? Lack of attention to corporate culture. Trying to force-fit two distinct cultures together is like stitching together half a lion and half a zebra and hoping to come up with one live animal. Business Development Group provides a better approach to company transitions of all sorts. We offer assessment-based company audits and transition plans that emphasize proactivity, professionalism, and foresight.
