Employee assessments have been around for decades. Organizations use them for hiring, team-building, conflict resolution and succession planning. While there are many legitimate options for these tools in the marketplace, there are many more that either aren’t very reliable or, worse yet, aren’t legal to use in certain situations. I get asked about these a lot, so it seems to make sense to help frame out some of the key things to consider if you’re currently using (or plan to use) assessments in

'Ages come and pass, leaving memories that fade to legend. Legends become myth, and even myth is soon buried. In one Age, called the Age of Quality , a swift wind billowed in the cliffs of healthcare. The wind was a new beginning. It was the beginning of a new age that would change all we have ever known. Valued-based healthcare is here, and it’s not fading away anytime soon; volume-based healthcare, however, will be soon forgotten as myth.

It’s a tool to use like many others but certainly not one that disrupts getting on the phone with a client, candidate or news source and certainly not one that replaces actually getting on a plane or whatever it takes to physically meet up. Oddly, it’s Silicon Valley and venture capitalists who perpetuate a glorified idea of social media and suffer business-wise from that incorrect thinking.

I know you were led to believe you would be full-time, but things have changed.
