At Performance Insights one of the key areas of specialisation is helping clients turn their strategic plans and values into something meaningful for all individual employees. We work in a highly collaborative way to understand what underpins success at all levels and we translate this success criteria into easily understood behaviours and key result areas. These capability frameworks become pivotal for almost all other HR initiatives - including selection, performance, development, coaching and training.

Approach & services include:

• Identifying the criteria for success for the entire organisation, job families and specific roles
• Articulating the discrete constructs and behaviours that differentiate high performance from the average
• Ensuring frameworks reflects visionary and current behavioural aspirations
• Mapping Key Result Areas onto relevant capabilities to ensure genuine integration of frameworks
• A highly consultative process to harness the knowledge of informed stakeholders and increase buy-in and usability
• The output is a comprehensive yet user-friendly capability framework
• Advice provided on applying the capability framework to maximise its effectiveness in selection, performance, development, promotion and all talent strategies
• A secondary output is a 'Contextual Insight Report' that highlights other key observations regarding the organisation's culture, climate and values - which can prove invaluable to senior management

At Performance Insights we know the importance of getting selection decisions right, and more critically we know the risks associated with getting the selection decisions wrong. As such, we apply the most comprehensive and contemporary assessment program. We also recognise the importance of promoting the best image to potential candidates and so offer the highest level of professionalism and candidate care during the assessment process.

Approach & services include:

• Detailed role profiling to ensure the most appropriate assessment program is selected
• Applying highly relevant assessment tools and methodologies to assess for role fit (including cognitive tests, personality and motivation profiles, simulations and interviews)
• Integrating assessment data to evaluate the candidate's strengths and weaknesses against the success criteria
• Clear recommendations made to the client through reports and/or feedback
• Feedback offered to candidate whether appointed to role or not
• Developmental coaching offered to successful candidates to maximise and fast-track performance in the new role

At Performance Insights we understand the importance of developing talent and future leaders. However, before you invest in expensive development programs we believe it is essential that the organisation and the individual understands where the development focus needs to be. That is our area of specialisation.
