Why You Should Use Psychometric Tests For Organisational Development

Why Welcome Psychometric Tests

Psychometric tests are of great value and benefit to a variety of people and corporate bodies, but why do we at Orgro, our clients and the majority of those we test make this claim?

Certification is Essential

In South Africa, it’s illegal for an uncertified person to conduct psychometric tests. Our specialised Orgro psychometrists are qualified, certified and have a wealth of experience in their field. Their experiential knowledge and record of successful outcomes ensure that Orgro is fully qualified to offer this service.

National and International Recognition

Moreover, our policy is one of frankness, honesty and transparency. The assessments used by Orgro are nationally and internationally recognised and equip our specialists to support you in developing your company and its people.

Orgro’s client companies are some of South Africa’s leading businesses, which collectively offer employment to many thousands of people, attesting to the ongoing benefits of having key staff members psychometrically tested. This applies to various current key role players and, in particular, to new candidates, prior to making the decision of which recruit fits the bill.

Who Fits the Bill?

When introducing a new employee into an organisation, it’s important to approve of who and what you see to discern whether they will be a good fit. However, it’s what isn’t immediately apparent that’s just as or more important to a prospective employer.

Identifying Desired Characteristics

Because the employer knows which characteristics, abilities, traits and potential leadership qualities would help to ensure an ideal fit with the expectations and demands of the relevant job and company, it’s important that such traits be identified initially.

No One Knew

After candidates have been psychometrically tested, they also benefit from the results of these evaluations. It further takes the guesswork out of the longer-term suitability of a particular appointee for a particular job, and similarly when an internal promotion, especially to a leadership role, is pending. It’s not unusual for a newly appointed or promoted person to discover their own positive qualities and strengths, which they may not have known about.

Develop and Deliver

Psychometric tests benefit both parties – employer and employee – in helping them recognise, develop and further utilise the individual’s inherent talents and future potential. Once revealed, a new world of opportunity opens up, providing assessments are professionally conducted by certified, specialised psychometrists, like the team at Orgro.

Best of All

Ensuring that the best person is placed in the best position that best suits them is the fundamental purpose of these tests. Obtaining the right fit is invaluable for all relevant parties and makes for a harmonious, happy and productive workplace.

The Impact on Workflow

Workflow improves in a department or team of like-minded people committed to a common goal, whilst respecting one another’s differences. The potential for disruptive workplace conflict and a high staff turnover is greatly minimised. All committed team members pull in the same direction – an employer’s dream (team).

Let Orgro do for your company and people what we’ve done for others – conduct professional psychometric tests that are designed to help you “gain insight into current behaviour and predict future performance in a role”.
