“I must admit, I was a bit skeptical but intrigued what there was to learn during the PI® classes. After the 2 days of meetings, it felt like a lot of information to absorb or retain. Although, after reviewing the material a couple of times in the last few weeks, much of the class information taught really started to come together and I could not put the reference books down. Even though I realize I am fairly new at giving feedback on an individual’s PI®, the reference manuals made it much easier in analyzing anyone’s PI®.
Even before starting to learn the Predictive Index®, I thought it was very important to build and create a positive working environment. What I learned after conducting a 10 to 15 minute session is that everyone really appreciates being understood. Everyone felt their assessment was very accurate! Each meeting started with apprehension, but ended with appreciation in what you see as their positive behavior descriptors, and what you see that motivates them.
By simply executing the general guidelines of describing their positive behaviors made for a positive working relationship experience. Many of them also indicated how it also described their relations with friends and family outside of work. Each meeting ended with more smiles and questions than I anticipated!
I believe the PI® training is a valuable tool in building effective teams, lowering turnover by putting the right people in the right positions. Also, having an individual being understood helps motivate, creates a better working environment, which in turn increases productivity!”

Select, Retain and Develop Key Talent |
| Summary : |
What started out as a hiring solution, has become the foundation for the hospital’s talent management initiatives. Bruce knew the impact that having the right people in the right jobs would have on the hospital’s productivity and team performance, but was surprised and impressed with the versatility of the Predictive Index®. As a result, PI®’s effectiveness spread by ‘word of mouth’ throughout the organization. Bruce explains, “The tool sells itself as other groups bear witness to the success of using PI® not only for hiring, but for team building, succession planning and conflict resolution. |

SOFTLINE PASTEL RECOMMENDATION |
| Summary : |
Lindi Dickinson, head of Pastel People Placements in Softline Pastel, says the procedural progress made in recruitment and retention is even more important in small to medium-size companies.
"An important differentiator in selecting job candidates in the current environment is the identification of talent, as people's skills may often differ from their degree or diploma qualifications." Dickinson adds that a "Predictive Index®" (PI®) service available from a third party supplier provides a highly efficient means of identifying talent. It is based upon a checklist that candidates fill in and the resulting information is extrapolated to define each candidate's inherent characteristics." |
