Why BestWork?
A common question is why is BestWork DATA any different than other assessments. The differences are dramatic. BestWork DATA is a disruptive innovation in that world. It is not just “better.” It represents an entirely new generation of assessment technology. The following are quick notes on the reasons why BestWork DATA is an excellent way to reach more of the potential in your human resources.
The Basics
BestWork DATA uses two psychometric instruments to collect the DATA, a cognitive instrument, and a personality survey. Each represents the state of the art in that science, delivering accurate and reliable measurements of hard-wired personality traits and cognitive abilities. This is important to know, but it is not a reason to use BestWork DATA.
Cognitive Abilities Are Included
Using an instrument that does not measure how people think, learn and process information is like buying a car without knowing anything about the engine. Some jobs require slow and careful learning, while others require faster processing speeds. This is a common cause of performance problems and turnover.
Easy to Use Without Special Training
Although BestWork DATA uses highly sophisticated psychometric instruments, the reports are easily understood without the need for specialized training or interpretation by experts.
Easy to Start
There is no need to build profiles for jobs. BestWork DATA uses a unique reporting format that enables you to clearly understand the specific strengths and weaknesses of each candidate without needing to refer to a separate reference point.
Descriptions of Specific Job Behaviors
Every job is made up of individual job behaviors. Some of these are critical to success in that job (e.g. Closing sales in a persuasive sales role, or Working with detailed information for a financial job). BestWork DATA’s ability to determine if the candidate can deliver those critical job behaviors enables a user to effectively screen out those candidates that cannot. Similarly, the first step in solving a performance problem is to see if the person has the necessary job behaviors.
Follows the Lifecycle of the Employee
DATA contributes to decisions throughout the lifecycle of the employee. It clarifies training needs, verifies career path decisions, matches their strengths to projects, aids in collaboration and communication with co-workers, and gives managers key information on directing their performance.
Connects with Everyday Business Processes
Anything that involves the thinking, learning, or behavior of people in the enterprise can be enhanced with DATA-based decisions. DATA is essentially an operating system for human resources. It answers the questions asked by managers and supervisors every day.
Enables Team Engineering
DATA allows managers to engineer teams with the strengths and abilities needed for a specific type of project. DATA shows each team member how to communicate and interact with every other team member specifically on a personal level, not just with generalized personality types. Team leaders now have the same performance DATA that professional sports teams have.
Virtually Eliminates Communication Issues
The DATA shows the specific communication differences between any two people and tells them how to deal with it. This includes cognitive and behavioral differences, which can then be related to business processes.
True Human Capital Management
Human resources can have an inventory of the operational strengths of the company which can be compared to the operational strategies of the company.
Agile DATA
BestWork DATA can translate the competencies used by a company into measurable factors that add practical and actionable information to reviews. Any program or project depending upon human performance can be mapped on to DATA metrics.
Unlimited usage licenses
BestWork DATA programs are provided through an unlimited annual license, allowing a company to use it with their entire workforce and to make it part of their selection process with 100% of job applicants.
Specific Job Reports
Our Job Report categories include Sales, Management, Financial, Administration, IT, Project Manager, Marketing, and Customer Service. Each of these is written specifically for that job. There are over fifty other Job Reports that can be added to a client’s report menu, and custom jobs are readily available.
