Employee Evaluation and Training - How to Preserve Value Despite budget Cuts
Springville, UT (PRWEB) -- In today's struggling economy many corporations are cutting training budgets. According to recent research conducted by SkillMeasure LLC, an accelerating trend has been identified in which companies are turning to automated skill diagnostics and employee assessments to continue employee development efforts during difficult economic times.
Besides being budget friendly," Harry Dunklin, Managing Partner of SkillMeasure, observes, "these diagnostics measure specific skill sets, and spell out clearly what employees need to do to improve their performance."
Bruce Bennett, CEO of STAR360feedback (http://www.star360feedback.com) agrees, "We've found that when people have an accurate understanding of their current capabilities, what needs to happen next almost jumps off the page. People take ownership of their own development."
Employees use the assessment results to create a self-paced development plans that take advantage of available educational resources and materials, often at no additional costs. Follow-on internal coaching cements learning and fosters ongoing progress.
It's an effective, yet inexpensive employee development and performance appraisal strategy that quickly pays for itself, and generates significant performance improvement. Explains a Senior Strategic Learning Director at a large global technology company, "The diagnostics are allowing our sales leaders to have conversations they've never had before -- based on data, not just opinion."
"More and more client companies are coming on board. They get the diagnostics model. They're taking advantage of technology to engage a larger segment of their workforce, and they're already seeing the positive impact on their training ROI, " concludes Dunklin.
