If we assess employee thinking, how do we use the data to make a real difference to our bottom line?

When strong decision-making skills are prioritized, potential is maximized and risks are reduced.

  • Assessing skills and mindset is a good starting point. You now have the data you need to start the process of maximizing your most valuable resource—your employees, managers and leaders.
  • Build a plan to integrate the improvement of thinking skills throughout your culture and processes.
  • Your plan must focus on real issues and actual needs.  Use your assessment data identifying strengths and weaknesses in individuals and teams to quantify potential benefits of improvement.
  • Set specific goals for necessary improvements.
  • Include a plan for funding improvement initiatives.
  • Don’t make the mistake of looking for surplus dollars for training. Make improving thinking a line item in your budget. The dollars will be well spent.
  • Recognize that with the right training, the long-term value of investing employee development pays off in increased employee engagement, retention, productivity, improved customer service, sales and reduced costs of turnover, errors and missed opportunities.
  • Be sure you focus training and personal development initiatives to directly target improving identified key skills and mindset attributes that are integral to workplace success.
  • Consider integrating e-training into your professional development processes; it’s a cost-effective way to provide employees with a convenient, flexible self-paced program focusing on their specific goals.
  • Measure success of training initiatives. Comparison of pre-training and post-training assessment permits you to quantify the impact of the initiative.
  • Integrate measures of thinking skills and mindset into your hiring practices. Start with strong thinkers.
  • Repeat and do again. Improving thinking pays off; make it an ongoing plan.
