When good people are put into jobs to which they do not fit, their potential is wasted. Individuals who are well matched to their jobs are more likely to be effective in what they do and more likely to enjoy their association with the organisation.
Based on a model developed by John Holland, the MatchPoint Career Assessment measures job-related qualities that make a person productive such as thinking and reasoning style, behavioural traits and occupational interests. The assessment results empower individuals to discover their true work styles and interests so they can explore and focus on career options that will keep them engaged.
MatchPoint can:
support individuals in their career planning and increases their potential for job satisfaction
help individuals better understand their values and goals, worldview, professional contributions, developmental needs, and potential pitfalls.
assist individuals in learning where within the organisation their interests and skills best fit.
identify how they like to be managed, how they like to manage and delegate to others, and how they prefer to interact with their peers.
serve as a catalyst in job/career discussions between individuals and their career coach, trainer, interviewer, or manager.
reduce work-related stress by assisting in a better job/person fit.
Matching people so they fit the work they do builds productivity and job satisfaction and diminishes negative factors such as stress, tension, conflict, miscommunication, and costly employee turnover.
How MatchPoint Benefits Your Organisation:
Increases employee engagement, productivity and performance
According to a recent article in Leadership Excellence, people are likely to be more engaged in jobs that fit what they can and want to do well. Only 12% of job failures are due to poor skills and abilities; 88% are attributed to poor fit with the job and culture.
Gallup Management Journal recently stated that 20.2% of survey respondents who voluntarily quit said the reason they were moving on from their job was due to lack of job fit.
According to a Towers Perrin study, 41% of employees are unsure whether they like their jobs or not.
