Make Your Data Work Harder: Re-using Assessment Results for Workforce Planning
This post is part of our “Future-Fit Talent” series, drawn from our latest survey of 280+ Australian HR and L&D professionals. Each week we unpack a different insight from the research and share practical steps you can apply right away.
If you’re collecting assessment data, it’s time to look beyond the moment of hire. Are you making the most of what you already know about your people?
Most organisations collect mountains of assessment data; few exploit it fully. Yes, three-quarters already use assessment results to inform workforce planning, yet only 38% describe themselves as very or extremely effective at re-using that data.
Too often, assessment data is applied only at the point of hire and then shelved. Yet, when reused strategically, this data can support onboarding, development, succession planning, and even workforce planning.
Unlock continuous return on testing spend by:
- Centralising assessment data and records. A single hub means we can slice data by role, location or diversity metric in seconds.
- Visualising for action. Leverage technology and dashboards that can showcase individual’s scores in order to spark faster, evidence-based decisions.
- Partner with assessment providers. Reach out to your assessment provider for guidance on how to get the most of assessment data.
The result is a virtuous cycle: richer insight, better talent moves, higher ROI on every assessment dollar.
