Reduce employee turnover and time spent screening candidates

Staff turnover is a waste of countless resources, including hiring managers' time. Even before the pandemic, finding the right talent to provide compassionate care in a team environment was a challenge.

In addition to turnover issues, HR teams often perform multiple job roles, so when an employee must be replaced, it takes time.

According to Dr. Frederick Morgeson, Ph.D., Scientific Advisor at Michigan State University, "Hiring managers are not HR professionals by trade. They know it takes a special type of person to work in healthcare, but they may not know how to best evaluate those individuals during the hiring process.”

With norms developed specifically for healthcare, symplr Assessments can help your hiring managers quickly identify compassionate, patient-focused individuals who are a good fit for your organization's culture.

Identify developmental opportunities
Each individual's scores are compared to top-performing peers for one of the five Staff Assessment job families. Results can then be used to identify high-potential candidates, or for providing development plans to improve identified competencies of incumbent employees. When used as a development tool, Staff Assessment provides development reports with suggested activities, resources, and development plan worksheets.
