Supervisor Skills Test
Behavioral | Competency | Cognitive ReasoningNEW SUPERVISORS FAIL AT AN ALARMING RATE
Moving employees into a supervisor role seems to be a reward for tenure and loyalty in many organizations. It’s a ritual practiced thousands of times every day in businesses around the world. But as the research and real-life experience shows, the capacity to manage one’s own performance is almost night and day compared to managing a team. Supervising others brings out a whole new set of challenges in the workplace.
Prepared or not, many employees accept the role in exchange for better compensation and benefits. Unfortunately one government study revealed that just six out of every 1,000 new supervisors failed to advance out of probation! Another found that 60 percent of new managers under-perform or fail in their first two years. It’s clear that not everyone is cut out to be a supervisor or manager.
A supervisor skills test can be used pre-hire for screening and post-hire for development. You can quickly identify employees and candidates who are ready to supervise others or need more training, coaching, or development.
TESTING SUPERVISOR SKILLS CAN TAKE MANY FORMS
The best supervisor skills test for your company can be based on core supervisory competencies, manager competencies, leadership style, and/or cognitive ability.
Whether you use a competency assessment test for supervisors or a personality test or a DISC behavioral profile…the results of the management assessment test should be put in the context of how the future supervisor will perform these required skills. In addition the results should compare the candidate to top performing supervisors as well as those who under-perform.
In addition to pre employment testing, some supervisor skill tests can be used for pre- and post-training events and for personal development. In addition to the standard supervisor skills testing, self-assessment and multi-rater feedback (360 degree) evaluations are available.
