Is Staff Development Available?

The value and limits of assessment: Good information about an individual is foundational to their development, selection and hiring:

• Knowing where people have or do not have the competencies required of a job does much to help organizations not hire their problems;
• Alignment between a job’s soft and other skill requirements and the competencies of the individuals means that new hires will fit more smoothly into the job – and, experience shows, turnover is reduced.
• Good information about new-hires’ or incumbents’ soft skill deficits identifies where training and development activities should focus.
• Pre- and post-assessment documents the extent to which training has met its behavioral change objectives.

All of the above are important – but assessment that is not followed by development planning and training leaves the individual where they were. To support organizations using LRI’s soft skills assessment programs, a range of training is available to support staff concerned with implementing soft skills assessments and remediating customers’ soft skill deficits.
