      WHAT I DO: Utilizing the PXT Select™ assessment tool, I help clients hire, develop and retain top performing employees.HOW I DO IT: The PXT Select™ tool allows us to create a performance model for each of your jobs. A performance model describes people who are well suited to the job - the people you are looking for. Candidates are assessed and their results are compared to the model to see how well they match the job. The better the match the more likely they are to perform well in the job.WHY IT MATTERS: When people are in jobs that match their traits, abilities and interests they perform better, they're more engaged and they're less likely to leave for another job.HOW IT CAN HELP DEVELOP EXISTING EMPLOYEES: Many employees are in jobs they're not very well suited for. In some cases the best solution to this problem is to move them to other jobs. In other cases, performance can be improved through focused developmental activities. Once performance models have been created for each of your jobs, existing employees can be assessed and comparisons can be made to determine which course of action is best.
