"What's a Profile and why is it important?"

Behavioral profiling new hires is the latest and most common method in assessing how an individual will interact within the specified position, outside the specific skill set required. Understanding how this individual will interact within a peer group, with management or managing a team is part of the success of this individual’s contribution to the organization. The profile will give insight to whether or not this individual is a good fit for the organizations view of the job duties and culture. Profiling new hires does not end there. The entire organization can benefit from completing a behavioral profile.

Some may wonder what the benefits are to profiling the entire organization, these individuals are already doing they’re job. Profiling existing employees may be key to promotions, lateral moves, organizational change, downsizing and combining positions, which may add to the bottom line. For example, do you have an over-achiever who may be able to do not only the job duties required but additional functions? This individual may possess the behavioral characteristics for promotion or may not. They may profit more by leaving them to the rewarding task of over-achieving and fail under the pressure of additional duties. Have you ever questioned whether or not an employee would be a good fit for combination of duties even though they possess the perfect skill set? Or have you promoted someone to a management position that failed after a long successful run within the previous position? Behavioral profiling will provide the necessary assistance to make those strategic decisions.
