80% of employee turnover is avoidable
Assessments offer solutions
Historically, employers depend upon résumés, references and interviews as sources of information for making hiring decisions. In practice, these sources have proved inadequate for consistently selecting good employees.
Total Person Assessment reveals the “whole person”: Thinking Style – Behavioral Traits – Occupational Interests.
Total Person Assessment can be used to determine “workforce compatibility” for Superiors, Peers, Subordinates.
When training employees, a “one size fits all” approach has failed to provide the desired results.
When selecting people for promotion, otherwise excellent employees have too often been miscast into roles they could not perform satisfactorily.
These failures can be reduced!
The missing, essential ingredient for making “people decisions” – Total Person Assessment has been used by clients of Canada Human Resources Centre to achieve results.

The use of assessments has resulted in extraordinary increases in productivity while reducing employee relations problems, employee turnover, stress, tension, conflict and overall human resources expenses.
Effective use of Assessments significantly improves organizational performance.
Assessing behavioral traits improved the hiring success rate to 38%.
