CLEVELAND, OHIO/July 17, 2008— Misconceptions about using assessments abound, but none of them stand up to the scrutiny of fact and experience. This, according to the new white paper by human capital assessment pioneer PsyMax Solutions.
HR professionals readily acknowledge the benefits of assessments, but they tend to push these tests to the bottom of the priority list for a variety of reasons. "Assessment Misconceptions: A Journey Out of Traditional Thinking Towards Better and Faster Talent Management Decisions" discusses and exposes the most common myths human resource professionals have about assessments.
Misconceptions and myths include:
• Assessments are hard to understand.
• Assessments are too expensive.
• Assessments take months to implement.
• Assessments create legal risk.
• Assessments are only for new hires.
“Human capital assessments are a proven business strategy to reduce turnover and its associated costs, increase productivity, and produce a deep pool of talented employees,” said Thad Meese, PsyMax Solutions COO. “Once misconceptions are cleared up, assessments become a natural, even indispensible, part of human capital management.”
