1. What is Workplace Skills Assessment?

Workplace Skills refer to a set of psychological resources people draw upon to succeed in the workplace. These skills include, but are not limited to, fundamentals in organization, concentration, memory, self-confidence, communication and interpersonal effectiveness. Workplace skills assessment measures the levels and interactions of these variables as they relate to an individual's work behavior and performance.

2. How are Workplace Skills assessed?

Measurements of these skills are made through multi-method analysis that includes the use of interview, questionnaire, psychological testing, work performance data and additional methods chosen depending on the nature and extent of the assessment needs.

3. Can I prepare for the assessment?

Only to the extent that you assist us in describing, from your point of view, the difficulties and questions you have regarding your workplace behavior and the environment surrounding it. We do the rest in terms of designing how the assessment will best answer your concerns. Additionally, the tests and methods used are not procedures that you can "prepare" for.

4. How will assessment findings be explained to me?

Our workplace skills assessments include a feedback session that concretely outlines behaviors for you to focus on for change and ways for you to redirect your talents and aptitudes to achieve your intended workplace goals. Ongoing coaching services can be arranged at this time.

5. Is evaluation data kept confidential? Can I have access to it at later points?

Assessment data is filed and stored in our office. Information about your assessment is kept confidential and is not released without your prior written authorization. It is not infrequent for our clients to return for assessments or consultations at later points in their careers. Access to the earlier recorded information is, then, very useful in charting one's progress with workplace skills over time.
