Assessment

LMC International has successfully used a number of assessment instruments in retention, recruiting, on boarding and other talent management initiatives.

Instruments

Birkman
The Birkman method is a powerful instrument that has been used by more than 2.5 million people.  Results are generated through an interactive database of over 2 million responders.  As a career management tool, it provides information on an individual’s leadership styles, personal needs and stress behaviours, organizational behaviours and career focus.  Normal applications of the Birkman include executive coaching, career management, team building, recruitment and onboarding.

Myers-Briggs Type Indicator
The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) is a personality inventory that many organizations use to help individuals understand how their personality type influences behaviour.  By discovering their four-letter personality code, employees determine their strengths and learn how their type impacts their careers and contributes to the developmental needs.  The MBTI has been used successfully in career management, talent management and team building.

Strong Interest Inventory
The Strong Interest Inventory (Strong) assessment measures an individual’s broad range of occupations, work activities, leisure activities, and school subjects.  Using the Strong, candidates can plan each step along their Job Search or career path with one goal in mind:  to match their interests with satisfying careers.  It can help them make career decisions, seek more satisfying work within an organization or explore career options.  In addition, organizations have used the Strong Interest Inventory in talent management and retention initiatives.

DISC
This easy to complete on-line instrument provides employees with the opportunity to learn about their tendencies, needs and preferred environments, become aware of their potential strengths and weaknesses, and develop strategies to become more effective in their positions.  Additional reports provide managers/leaders with helpful suggestions on how to bring out the best in their employees by focusing on how to manage them, help them manage others and create more positive relationships overall. The DISC can also be used in team building, career management and talent retention
