Do you know what it can cost your firm when an employee "doesn't work out"? Our clients tell us it has cost them anywhere from $10,000-$25,000 in on-the-job training, orientation time, salary and other related benefits.
Whether your firm needs to discover the "person behind the resume", promote an employee from within your company, build an effective team, or requires outplacement counselling, our confidential service can enhance your current human resource procedures. The resulting report determines an individual's drive, temperament, steadiness, promotability, mind set, people skills, talents and integrity.
We can provide you with information that cannot be obtained from regular sources, and that normally would require 4-6 months of on-the-job experience to discover. Our system, taking no more than 20 minutes to administer, uncovers talents and potential and enables you to more strongly focus the questions you ask a potential applicant, the reference, or a current employee.
Positive Stroke's assessment program combines Handwriting Analysis and the Personal Profile System. Handwriting Analysis (or Graphology) is a projective/expressive psychological technique used for determining an individual's character and personality from his or her handwriting; it can provide insights into more than 100 aspects of personality. The use of Graphology is widespread in Europe among an estimated 85% of all executives. Approximately 5,000 companies in the United States utilize this methodology, many of which are Fortune 500 companies. Graphology, being one of the most non-discriminatory assessment instruments available, has two unique advantages: there is no way for the test-wise individual to weight the results, and there is no "test mode" to contend with. The Personal Profile System, used extensively throughout the United States and Canada, identifies an individual's work behaviour style and how he or she responds to and interacts with others.
