All About Performance, LLC and LegalShore Team Up to Provide Online Personnel Testing, Employment Law Compliance Software
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) June 19, 2007 -- All About Performance, LLC and LegalShore have entered into a teaming agreement.
"Employers need to make sure that employees are aware of and compliant with company policies and the relevant employment laws, and they also need to make sure that the right people are hired and promoted," says Spencer Hamer, co-founder of LegalShore. "We want to provide them with an efficient way to accomplish both tasks."
"It just makes sense to evaluate a person's ability to do the job before you hire them," says Warren Bobrow, President of All About Performance, LLC. He continued, "While nothing is a perfect predictor of future performance, there is plenty of client experience and research which shows that pre-employment tests work, and that they are more accurate than interviews. It is a legal and inexpensive way to ensure you are hiring the best people."
Pre-employment testing is a cost-efficient method of improving business performance. It helps companies hire people who have the skills, abilities, and personality characteristics that enable them to succeed. One All About Performance client saw an increase in sales of $5,000 per sales person per month when it began using validated tests to guide its hiring decisions. And the cost of the testing was just $250 per person.
Common tests include those for administrative assistants, field sales reps, customer service employees, and managers. These tests measure a host of personality traits, which vary according to a particular position's job duties. The traits include agreeableness, conscientiousness, customer responsiveness, integrity, loyalty, tenure potential, selling confidence, extrinsic motivation, persuasiveness, work drive, leadership qualities, and reasoning ability, as well as skills such as reading, spelling, math, typing, grammar, and filing.
LegalShore, founded in December 2005, offers customized employee handbooks, documents, and related employment law compliance services through Flexpoint, an online SaaS, or "Software-as-a-Service" product. LegalShore's Flexpoint software provides the option for online access to All About Performance's testing for particular positions, as well as to tests customized to the particular needs of the client. Flexpoint identifies which employees are due for performance reviews and assessments, including performance-based testing.
Warren Bobrow, Ph.D., has been in the personnel assessment field since 1988. He formed All About Performance, a Los Angeles-based firm, in 2005. The company's professionals have a combined 33 years of experience providing skills assessment testing, employee and customer surveys, customized test development, and related services. In addition, the company consults with employers on a variety of workplace topics, including performance management, employee training, strategic human resources and workforce planning, organization design and structure, and change management. All About Performance's clients come from a diverse range of industries, including customer contact centers, finance, health care, petroleum, retail, distribution, telecommunications, utilities, and apparel manufacturing throughout North America and India. Their clients include Edison International, Intuit, Fidelity Investments, Polo Ralph Lauren, and Carnival Cruise Lines.
