APTMetrics Unveils New Leadership Assessment Suite
Talent Management Instrument Employs Multi-media Technology to Implement Best Practices in Executive Assessment, Diversity and Inclusion
DARIEN, Conn., May 21, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- APTMetrics, Inc.introduced the LeadIN Leadership Assessment Suite today at the Talent Strategies D.C. 2012 Conference in Washington, D.C.
This suite of Web-based, executive and manager evaluation tools employs APTMetrics' expertise in executive assessment and diversity measurement to create employee evaluation instruments that measure potential, readiness and fit for leadership roles. What's more, these tools provide critical input for leadership development by diagnosing gaps in the leadership pipeline and isolating where to build a more robust executive bench.
"Recent studies have shown that a significant number of global organizations lack the necessary talent for critical leadership positions," said Dr. John Scott, COO. "When this is combined with increasing globalization and historic demographic shifts in the workforce, organizations struggle to build the robust pipeline of diverse candidates for their senior-level roles," he said.
Powered by APTMetrics' award-winning selection system, SelectionMetrics®, each simulation in the LeadIN suite engages participants in realistic business environments with video-based, first-person interactions, emails, voicemails, and industry and analyst reports.
While participants are being guided through mid-level manager or executive level challenges in the assessments, they are solving business-related problems and handling complex situations. The decisions they make and the responses they choose measure their capability for leadership roles.
"LeadIN was designed to help organizations incorporate their commitment to diversity and inclusion into the assessment of managerial talent," said Dr. Kathleen Kappy Lundquist, CEO.
"Organizations wishing to build a diverse talent pipeline for senior management positions in the 21st century will find this tool particularly helpful," she said.
