by
Introduction Have you ever said to yourself, "Wouldn’t it be great to have employees who were exactly suited to the work that needs to be done, as well as employees who bring an outstanding level of commitment and productivity to their work?" Well, you can have both. You can have your cake and eat it too! How is all this possible? Read on. The new organization in the new global economy has to face two important questions:
Training Alternatives Inc. (TAI), in partnership with SDD, provide the global solution to choose the right employees to work right. Too many organizations are skilled in finding the right employee but later have to let the person go because the employee cannot work right. The first circumstance takes in a personality hiring issue, or what person you want to hire, while the second circumstance encompasses an emotional intelligence working issue, or how well this person will contribute to your organization. Choosing the Right Employees Depending on your organizational requirements and the mix of the right employees that you need, you might ask yourself some of the following questions. "Do I need employees who...

Choosing Employees Who Work Right All organizations need to know that the employees they hire will have the robustness and follow-through to be successful. This follow-through is the fuel or emotional intelligence quotient of the employees. Mental intelligence tells us that we are smart. Emotional intelligence tells us how we are smart. TAI and SDD can now scientifically assess and develop the emotional intelligence of employees. Having the right employee (section above) is analogous to having a great car. Having an employee working right is knowing that the driver of that great car will drive it with finesse and sustainable power. Assessing the emotional intelligence of employees with a rigorously scientific, statistical and cross culturally validated tool known as the EQ-i with a synchronized EQ learning and development program sustains the working right efforts of:
Combining the strengths of both the right employee with working right provides an employer with the very best fit for the jobs required. How Do You Achieve This Alignment?
