Thank you for opening this email, I trust it finds you doing well. Finally (about time), our temperatures are slowly trending upward as we approach the Memorial Day holiday and the “official” start of summer. Have a safe, relaxing, and enjoyable holiday weekend. |
Thought for the Day

Why is it they begin the evening news with 'Good Evening' and then proceed to tell you why it isn't?

behaviors of others, and how to apply this knowledge in work related
situations.

The Importance of Specific, Quantifiable, Measurable, and Objective Criteria when Creating Performance Models |
|
When using job match assessments to improve the selection and promotion process within an organization, success will depend largely upon how current top performers are identified. Since the process is designed to help an organization select candidates who share the same job-related characteristics of their top performers, misidentification of those critical characteristics by misidentifying members of that group can lead to poor results and the selection of candidates who do not perform well.
Ask any manager who his or her top performers are and you’ll usually get a quick answer. However, ask for the basis of that selection and you may be surprised how fuzzy or imprecise the criteria are upon which they make that determination. It’s not unusual to discover that managers have no measurable, repeatable criteria for identifying this most important group of employees! |
