As a professional development expert, I get asked all the time how do I know how to help my staff? Well good news, it doesn’t have to be so hard. The Devine Inventory provides an Employee Lifecycle set of products that turn Managing and Leading your people into a Science vs an Art Form. Good news!
As you are looking for B+/A Players during your recruiting efforts, Devine has pre-hire reports that evaluate a person’s behaviors. These behaviors are grouped into competencies and specific competencies are required for a position. Devine literally has hundreds of these reports already created so you don’t have to recreate the wheel. These pre-hire reports will provide a 1-99 score on how they match the job competencies and then simplify the interview process by providing behavioral interview questions for each job competency. Interviewing simplified!
When you want to “develop” your staff, Devine has a product that removes any 1-99 rating and instead focuses on how the person’s behaviors perform against the ideal for each position and how they match up vs the job competencies. The report provides specific information on how to use your strengths and how to develop lower behaviors. As the manager, it is comforting to know that Devine has already thought of how to uniquely “coach” each person according to their own development needs. This Devine “coach” report dramatically improves your coaching time with your staff. No report or evaluation is perfect.
After helping more than 11,000 people interpret and understand their own Devine Report, I can confidently say these reports make hiring, growing, developing and retaining staff much more predictable. “Thank you” social psychology for making my job as a professional development expert more predictable and successful.
