Using validated assessments can provide additional and useful data points to support decision making. As a certified executive coach, I am a firm believer in using assessment tools to support organizational growth and executive coaching.” says Rehana Doobay, CEO & Practice Leader of Leadership and Executive Coaching.

The Talent Company’s customized assessments include:

360° Feedback Survey

360° assessments have proven to be an extremely valuable source of performance data to assist in management development, succession and career planning.

The WPP can be used during the new hire process and to further develop employees. It provides job fit considerations, management tips, and suggested interview questions to support the selection process.

Team Composite Report

Whether you are building a new team, growing a team or wanting to better understand team dynamics, the Workstyle Performance Profile team profiling enables people leaders to gain insight into their team’s unique characteristics and provides recommendations for team development and improvement.

“Adding a suite of robust assessments to our services offering is an exciting and strategic step forward for us”, says Joe Minaudo, Practice Leader of Strategy and Transformation with The Talent Company. “Client’s gain a great deal by using our tools as they help to lessen much of the guesswork associated with identifying talent with the best fit. Also, hiring new talent, which does not complement your organization’s culture and values, can become disruptive, and reduce employee morale. Our assessments help you retain the essence of what makes your company unique, they help you to understand these key traits and provide you with the insight and tools to sustain and grow a strong base of future leaders.”
