Hello Team,

Sophisticated research strategies and data analyses are used to quantify the extent to which these outcomes are influenced by the use of our talent measurement solutions. To ensure the reliability of the findings, every business outcome study must meet the following criteria:

■ Employees must have been in the role long enough to provide a reliable measure of their performance, beyond the initial onboarding or training period.

■ Reliable performance metrics must be available and these must be influenced by an individual’s behavior on the job. Metrics can include individual sales figures, goal attainment, revenue growth and other standardized productivity and/or efficiency measures.

■ Multiple measures of performance data must be available for each employee.
