According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), mental health includes “subjective well-being”, perceived self-efficacy, autonomy, competence, inter-generational dependence, and self actualization of one’s intellectual and emotional potential, amongst others”.
The WHO further states that the well being of an individual is encompassed in the realization of their a abilities, coping with the normal stresses of life, productive work and contributing to their communities.
In today’s fast paced, highly competitive environment, a company’s decisions on staff need to be backed up by scientific and objective data which psychometric testing provides. The data provided by testing provides clarity on which employee initiatives work and which ones do not. When difficult strategic company decisions need to be made, psychometrics can facilitate the decision making.
It can be expensive for an employer to replace a skilled position and the costs increase exponentially if a company makes the wrong choice when hiring. Studies have shown that psychometrics can improve recruitment outcomes greatly over the company using purely subjective methods such as resume-screening and interviews.
Once a staff selection is made, the psychometric results can be put to further use. Knowing who employees are helps knowing what they want from the company, how to motivate them, and how to get them to work towards their strengths. It also informs what training and development initiatives need to be taken.
To conclude, using psychometrics for selection and development of staff is a growing trend that is turning into a critical business function. While companies strive to be more efficient in an age of information, gaining the right information quickly has become more critical
