EMPLOYEE TURNOVER REDUCTION TOPICS:

Background

Chally initially developed its Assessment system using funding from a grant from the U.S. Justice Department in 1973. The grant's purpose was to find a more accurate way to select qualified candidates for law enforcement. Our research found there were no instruments accurate enough to meet the need, so we built our own. The resulting Chally Assessment uses actuarial assessment techniques and a validation technology that accurately predicts on-the-job effectiveness. The technology was subsequently expanded to cover all business arenas, including management, sales, technical, leadership, and professional skill positions.

Besides being actuarially based, the Chally Assessment is unique in that it has remained stable for over 33 years, being constantly refined by ever-accumulating data and usage. In fact, independent academic research has shown that no other tool is as predictive, objective, non discriminatory, or as practical to use as the Chally Assessment.

Managing Your Talent Pool

No other instrument can be used to accurately assess people across a number of different positions. Companies use it both to "get the right people on the bus" as well as "get them in the right seats". Not surprisingly, it's also used to find out if people already on the bus should be in a different seat.

The Chally Assessment is ideal, then, for both candidate selection and development of existing employees. Using it, especially through the Talent Audit, allows companies to look for job mismatches, critical training needs, and leadership potential.

Typical results from using the Chally Assessment System include:

• 30% reduction in turnover
• 35% increase in employee productivity
• 85%-plus accuracy in identifying high potentials for leadership

With a single, online assessment that doesn't have to be monitored, managers can conveniently set up candidates and employees through our HR Assistant Web portal, automatically emailing the instructions, monitoring progress, and downloading the assessment results.

With today's ever-tightening pool of skilled businesspeople, companies can't afford to lose good talent. They also can't afford to hire the wrong people. Predictive accuracy is not a luxury, it's a competitive necessity.

Predictive results using the online Chally Assessment and the Talent Audit Analysis is why we confidently say:

"From a single assessment,
a career's worth of results"
