Assessments

Essential for:

• Personal development
• Coaching
• Leadership development
• Delivering insightful feedback

The Wave® Performance 360 online assessment enables a range of relevant individuals to rate a colleague’s performance at work. How an individual perceives themselves and how this compares to other people’s perceptions of them is a powerful feedback tool.

The report summarises responses from different raters to the 39-45 questions across a seven-point effectiveness scale. Four rate categories exist, with the option to include an “other” category.  You do not have to use all 4 rater categories, you could for example have two raters – eg. the staff member and their supervisor.

A Leadership Impact 360 report is available for accredited users, is directly aligned to our 3P Leadership Impact Model which consists of the three P’s of leadership; Professional, People, and Pioneering representing the three main approaches to effective workplace leadership.

These questionnaires can be used on its own, or in conjunction with the Wave® Styles Questionnaire. When used together, it can help individuals understand the gaps between their performance and potential as a platform for utilising unfulfilled potential and realising critical areas of potential.

Do you have a need to identify the talents, motives and preferred culture of staff within your organisation, or those who are coming through in selection processes?

Personality questionnaires enable you to identify whether individuals have the qualities needed for particular roles. Personality is a strong component in about 70% of managerial competencies.

After 40 years of dedicated research and questionnaire development, Saville has demonstrated the superior validity and enhanced features for Wave® compared to all leading alternatives, in the order of 50%+. Saville Wave® questionnaires predict both overall job performance and specific workplace competencies.

In a co-validation study, Wave Professional Styles, outperformed the OPQ32i™, NEO-PI-R™, Hogan Personality Inventory™ and 16PF5™ on both work competencies and overall global measures of performance.

Are you still wondering what kind of job you would really like? What your career interest areas actually are?

It’s very normal to go through school, university and indeed your entire working life, still unsure about the kind of job that you would really like! Often we have hobbies that we are very passionate about, and cannot envisage life without them. But can the same be said about the work we do?

During our early years it is quite probable that we will not be exposed to many different types of occupations. Generally job discussions at home, centre around what careers our immediate family members have. Hopefully these people love their jobs, but if not, this is highly likely to further limit the number of career options that we consider.

As we progress in years, our careers are most likely to have evolved through luck (good and bad), financial necessity, and opportunities that arose in the workplace. We did not necessarily follow our passion, or interest areas!

It is really useful to be able to identify your career interest areas - there will no doubt be a few of these - so it is also helpful to understand the relative strengths of each of these.

If you would like to explore your career strengths further and discover your personal values, an on-line My Self Questionnaire could be just what you need.

The My Self questionnaire is inexpensive and includes a comprehensive but easy-to understand report, including your Signature Strengths, and Challenge Areas. It also outlines your fit to a range of careers in the Career Area Chart and delves in more detail into the top three career options.

• Those who want to learn more about their staff’s workplace aptitude
• HR Professionals, Managers, and Organisational Psychologists who require scientifically proven selection assessments
• Those who are undertaking selection processes and want credible information to supplement and inform behavioural interviews and reference checks.

Aptitude, otherwise known as ability, comes in many different forms, be they capabilities in the workplace, in sport, or the arts to name but a few.

Aptitude tests are consistently shown to be the best predictors of workplace effectiveness. Using the right ability tests as part of a recruitment process can bring a significant return on investment by helping to ensure the right person is chosen for the role. 

Saville Assessment’s aptitude assessments are a comprehensive portfolio of tests used for a range of roles. They clearly measure a variety of abilities depending upon the role requirements. The portfolio includes measures of Verbal, Numerical, Diagrammatic, Abstract, Error Checking, Spatial, and Mechanical aptitudes that predict the ability to work with words, numbers, systems, logic, details, designs and equipment.

We work with our clients to determine what level and type of aptitude assessment is correct for the role. For example we have assessments suitable for Apprentices, Administrative, Commercial, Operational, Engineering, Graduates, Managers/Directors, and many other types of jobs.

Tests are also presented in a way which is relevant to the type of job being assessed. The look and feel of the test will make the candidate feel at home!

Volume and individual testing solutions are available.
