The importance of using tools to establish metrics to measure the skills of team members, their suitability for a particular job or their contribution to the company's strategy, is essential to increase the value of our teams within our companies.
These tools, and the scientific rigor that supports them, provide a clear and objective view of the performance of our employees, allowing leaders and team leaders to make informed decisions for the development and growth of the organization.
First, the use of metrics to measure competencies and contributions makes it possible to identify the strengths and weaknesses of each team member. This facilitates the assignment of tasks and projects according to individual skills and capabilities, considering the natural behaviors of individuals, thus maximizing the efficiency and productivity of the team as a whole. Likewise, by having a clear vision of the competencies present in the team, it is possible to identify areas of opportunity for the professional development of the collaborators, promoting an environment of continuous learning and personal growth. In addition to the relevant self-knowledge of each and every one of the team members. This is frankly interesting and necessary for personal and professional development.
In addition, these tools provide the possibility of establishing clear and measurable goals and objectives for each team member, aligned with the company's overall strategy and objectives. This fosters employee motivation and commitment, as they are clear about what is expected of them and how their work contributes to the success of the organization. It also facilitates the monitoring of individual progress and the identification of areas for improvement, allowing corrective actions to be implemented in a timely manner.
Another relevant aspect is the possibility of comparing individual performance with internal or external standards, which provides valuable information for making decisions regarding compensation, promotions and professional development. Furthermore, these metrics, which can be easily combined with other performance measurement systems with less scientific basis, make it possible to identify employees with high potential and talent, providing the opportunity to retain them and promote their growth within the organization.
In Servitalent, for years, we have been using in our selection processes, interim management and executive assessment projects, resources such as the Assessment PDA® that enables us to analyze the skills and suitability of people for specific roles, and also with the AEM Cube® to assess the diversity in teams and the intrinsic contribution of each person to the business strategy. We use these tools to improve talent management and foster growth at both the individual and collective levels.
