human potential is realized only when people are in a position to
use their natural strengths and talents. Great performance is found
when an individual's natural strengths and talents fit his or her
role. Matching the right person with the right job is probably the
most significant challenge organizations and managers face today.
Extensive research has shown that many companies suffer from low
productivity not because they lack talented people, but because
they do not do a very good job of matching the right strengths and
talents to the right positions.
Harrington Group helps companies Find The Right Fit between the
natural strengths of the person and the job requirements.
A common mistake companies make is to move a top performer with
a perfect match between talent and task to a new task that requires
very different strengths. In fact, many companies have career tracks
that inevitably ask individuals to perform jobs for which they do
not have the right strengths, and take them out of jobs for which
they had perfect strengths. Moving an employee from a productive
role into a position where they are unproductive results in a doubled
loss of productivity.
The problem of moving individuals with a perfect match between
talent and task into positions where that match no longer exists
is especially prevalent when those individuals are promoted to management
positions. The strengths that are essential for sales achievers,
for example, may be very different from the strengths essential
to excellence in managing salespeople.
Harrington Group’s consultants analyze the Employee Screening System
data and use the results to create a Benchmark for use by the client
for supporting and facilitating job screening, assessment and hiring
/ promotion decisions.
