Why does BestWork DATA have so many reports?
Every BestWork DATA report is written specifically for a single business decision and a particular audience. The recruiting person deciding on the job candidate is looking for somewhat different information than the manager who will supervise the new hire. The training director needs something focused on training issues. This level of specificity is one aspect that enable BestWork DATA reports to be easily used without special training or interpretation by experts.
