Employee Profiling and Assessment

J.S. Evans Consulting is qualified to administer and interpret several employee assessment instruments, which are designed to measure a variety of human behavior and performance factors.  The instruments which our firm uses are:

• Hartman Value Profile (HVP)

• Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)

• Fundamental Interpersonal Relations Orientation-Behavior (FIRO-B)

• Strong Interest Inventory

• Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire (MSQ)

• Organizational Climate Survey (OCS)

• Job Characteristics Inventory (JCI)

Each of these excellent instruments is used for specific measurement purposes – and some are used together to acquire a more complete measurement and assessment.

The reason why measurements are done is quite simple – it is impossible to manage what you cannot measure!  Managers need to know where the strengths and weaknesses are in their organizations.  They also need to know what is causing the weaknesses, and what can be done to correct these deficiencies. Measurement and assessment also provide the practitioner with data that allows them to discern whether or not improvements have occurred when specific interventions have been implemented to make planned changes in the organization.  In short, instruments measure the effectiveness of these change efforts – without them one is merely guessing.

The following pages under this heading will acquaint you with seven assessment instruments which we have used in helping our clients maximize their organizational strengths and correct their weaknesses.  We welcome the opportunity to visit with you to explore the ways we can help your organization become even better.
