Job Benchmarking

Many companies struggle with hiring, selection, and retention.  Job benchmarking allows the job to speak for itself.  Managers grapple with the idea of succession planning.  What happens when a top performer moves up in the company or leaves the company?  Typically, it leaves a void where it takes some time to recover.  A business can lose its edge or position in the marketplace quickly.  It typically costs the company 3%-15% of an employee`s salary to make the wrong choice.  How would you feel if the position was benchmarked and you knew exactly the attributes required of that top performer?

Personal Development

More and more individuals are investing in their own personal growth and development. They are continually striving to achieve the desired results in life, whatever those might be. In order for an individual to set goals for themselves, self-awareness and knowing one’s strengths and weaknesses are key. Once the results are achieved, the individual tends to move onto the next goal. Goal setting research has shown that an individual cannot concentrate on more than three goals at any given time. Therefore, helping an individual to identify three starting goals is most effective.

Three key factors are necessary for an effective continuous improvement plan. They are commitment, accountability, and coaching. People must take charge of their life in order to reach their optimum potential. Being held accountable keeps individuals focused and goal driven. This is why so many people are now hiring personal coaches to assist them with their personal development plan.

YUS offers many assessments, tools and processes with our personal coaches to assist individuals with bettering themselves. They are the most complete developmental tools on the market. Individuals can receive feedback from co-workers as well as friends and family. They will learn how they approach problems and influence people. They learn the importance they place on systems, completing tasks and following procedures.

Re-organizing

Mergers, buyouts, new company startups and re-structures are the reality of today’s workplace. Necessary changes are happening faster and more frequently than ever before. Change, however, can cause unwanted conflict and drain energy from organizations. The comfortable feeling of operating a business from the standpoint of “this is how we’ve always done it” is scarce.

Successful companies are continually challenged to build new road maps that take their organization to the next level.  Within any organization all the teams need to have a variety of talent and styles. YUS has made identifying these areas easier for you to do. By using assessments we are able to go into an organization and assess what type of style each team member has and how to teach them better ways to communicate with one another. Once each team member’s style is identified, it will be easier to re-organize based on the information that is uncovered about the team.

During a re-organization it is also essential to not only assist the company in the necessary changes, but to also support them. By investing the time to assess individuals with the tools YUS provides, such as behavioral assessments, skill assessments, work environment assessments and attitudes assessments, it will provide the information that is important during the changes.

Professional Development and Communications
