https://www.dummies.com/business/human-resources/employee-relations/employee-appraisal-phrases-communication-skills/  Employee Appraisal Phrases: Communication Skills By  Ken Lloyd Employees need to know how well they’re communicating and dealing with others so that they can effectively carry out their responsibilities and meet their short-term and long-term objectives. Ironically, some managers have difficulty communicating assessments in these two areas, especially when it comes to written comments. The managers are concerned that their feedback on communication won’t be communicated clearly, and they worry that providing feedback on interpersonal relations will actually strain the working relationships instead of improving them. When written comments focus on vague and general trends and themes, these outcomes are the most likely. Written and Verbal Communication Exceptional: Consistently exceeds expectations Is a master of written communication Is the go-to person when oth...

Whenever the economy hits a rough patch, business leaders' first reflex tends to be cutting costs. At most organizations, the largest fixed cost is payroll, which can account for as much as  70% in a typical corporation , according to compensation provider Paycor. Not only is the decision to let people go a difficult one, but it's also something management must consider in terms of long-term loss versus a short-term gain to the bottom line. That's because in many cases, workforce reductions can cause a great deal of indirect damage to an organization. Below are three often overlooked, but very common, side effects that many organizations have had to deal w...

Harvard lecturer: ‘No specific skill will get you ahead in the future’—but this ‘way of thinking’ will https://www.cnbc.com/2020/06/15/harvard-yale-researcher-future-success-is-not-a-specific-skill-its-a-type-of-thinking.html Many of us have been told that deep expertise will lead to enhanced credibility, rapid job advancement, and escalating incomes. The alternative of being broad-minded is usually dismissed as dabbling without really adding value. But the future may be very different: Breadth of perspective and the ability to connect the proverbial dots (the domain of generalists) is likely to be as important as depth of expertise and the ability to generate dots (the domain of specialists). The rapid advancement of technology, combined with increased uncertainty, is making the most important career logic of the past counterproductive going forward. The world, to put it bluntly, has changed, but our philosophy around skills development has not. Today’s dynamic complexity demands an a...

  https://blog.mettl.com/guide/personality-test-assessment/ What’s Assessment of Personality? Personality assessment is the measurement of  one’s behavior  and is a result of gathering data aimed to advance psychological research and theory. It also enables an increased likelihood of making the right decisions in applied settings ( e.g., in picking the best of the lot, mainly from a group of equally qualified applicants).

A continuous effort to explain human characteristics quantitatively is ingrained in the scientific approach to personality assessment. How much of an individual’s personality trait manifests itself? Which traits are dominant? Quantitative personalit...
