Complex, device based measurement

The measurement process is always done by completing a series of tests. The abilities and personality traits necessary for an efficient workflow are both things that are best to be measured with these tests. 

The physical devices of PractiWork® along with the progressive (increasingly difficult) tests target the measurement of current and possible abilities of the employee. In order to avoid situations where the pressure of taking a test might obscure the measurement results, most tasks have a sort trial stage before the actual test. After the evaluation of the tests we can recommend training courses in order to improve on the necessary areas.

The employer is sure to gain new knowledge based on our ability measurement:

Personal and group related evaluation

The data collected by PractiWork® during the measurement process is summed up and processed by technology based on artificial intelligence. The results are then handed over to the employer in the form of a result sheet.

With the help of the PractiWork® evaluation algorithm, the employer gets a full overview:

  • Of the individual as a worker, but in terms of efficiency and state of their abilities. We mark the areas where improvement may be needed going forward. The PractiWork® objective measurement process in fact generates a “curriculum vitae” that can’t lie in those measured fields!
  • Of the employee’s efficiency as part of a group, along with co-working capabilities. PractiWork® is able to compare and contrast the results of an individual to the already done measurements. With this there is the possibility to make groups (with the help of cluster analysis), and then these groups can be easily accessed to select employees with excelling (or lacking) abilities in different fields. In this case the training recommendation can be based on these grouped data as well.

While we work with people, we will need people for selecting them. PractiWork® supports decision making with its objective recommendations.
