How can use of the Predictive Index® (PI) help your company keep its top performing employees?
Recruitment and retention strategies are vital to any company's success. Finding and keeping talented, motivated employees is directly connected to organizational success. Fortunately, the Predictive Index can help organizations of all sizes reduce costly turnover and help in the recruitment of the best candidates for the right jobs.
How Predictive Index® (PI) improves recruitment and retention
PI helps your recruitment and retention efforts by improving the fit between the individual and job, at the point of selection, resulting in a more rewarding work experience.
PI's Performance Requirements Options (PRO) allows managers to identify the specific behaviors required to achieve superior performance in a particular job. With that information in hand, you can improve your recruitment and retention efforts. Better job-fit from the start ensures more successful and satisfied employees to the long-term benefit of all concerned. Using the PI provides an education in how to get the most out of your most important resources, your employees.
With PI, you receive critical insight about how employees perceive workplace demands, what tasks invigorate and which responsibilities will require more effort, and many other important motivational factors. You get the accurate, reliable information needed about employee drives, behaviors, and operating styles, allowing productive changes to take place. The result is a measurable increase in employee morale along with new knowledge that will enhance all of your recruitment and retention efforts.
PI helped these firms' recruitment and retention
For John Tischer, president of Persona, a producer of high quality signs for corporations, retention is a key issue. He said: "Thanks to PI, this company doesn't hire people who don't fit their jobs any longer. I am surrounded by top notch people and we have no turnover to speak of."
Marsh Automotive's annual salesforce turnover, reaching 200-300%, was not news to car dealers. Fortunately, Marsh found a solution. "We have achieved a massive shuffle in staffing with the help of PI, and now we have a much better culture to work in," General Manager Kevin Foster said. Over one year, overall sales increased 26%. Market share rose 6%. He gives a good deal of the credit to the Predictive Index: "PI certainly has played a big role in our success."
Phoenix La-Z-Boy reported an equally impressive reduction in turnover rate, which fell by 30-40% over 3 years after putting the PI to work. "Not only did we begin to hire smarter, but also we made employees happier by better placing them in positions that matched their personality strengths and helped to ensure their personal success in the company," stated Kathy Till, Director of Training.
