Why Do We Assess?

  • Psychometrics assists with the HR strategic initiatives of selection, talent management, assessing workforce capability, employee engagement, understanding the organisational culture, training and development initiatives, as well as effective succession planning.
  • Psychometric assessments quantify human behaviour.
  • Assessment results facilitate informed decisions based on Science and Objectivity.
  • The cost implications of an unsuitable person-job or person-organisation fit can be minimised by informed decision making.
  • Ensuring compliance with the requirements of the Employment Equity Act, which states that hiring procedures should be fair and valid.
  • Psychometric assessments are not only useful in managing employees on an individual level; they can also play a pivotal role in the formulation and development of effective teams.
  • Psychometric assessments provide information around the person-role fit as well as the person-organisation fit.
  • Allow for fair discrimination based upon job requirements and suitability to the role.
