The Importance of Setting KPIs and How To Do It Effectively
Research has shown that 60% of fortune 500 organisations and therefore the most successful companies use KPIs in some form or other – which should underline the relevance of KPIs to delivering high performance within a business. But, why are they so crucial and how do they help businesses to drive performance and succeed? The answer to this is that in a complex, rapidly changing and competitive commercial environment, a well designed set of KPIs act like a digital dashboard, providing the senior managers with the tools and insight to monitor performance against their goals and make adjustments which will lead to performance improvements. Arguably managers that operate without a digital dashboard of KPIs are effectively ‘driving blind’.
How to Leave your Current Job
This may seem like a strange topic for an article, as on the face of it, leaving a job appears a very straightforward task – you simply prepare a resignation letter and hand it in to your boss and ‘Hey presto’ you can leave your job. But, it is more complicated than that; the way that you leave your current job can determine how ‘easy’ or ‘hard’ it is to get your next job and can therefore have a long lasting impact on your career.
What Kind of Test Might You Face at Interview?
Research from Leeds Metropolitan University in the UK shows that 70% of multinationals and an increasing number of SMEs use psychometric tests during the recruitment process. This means that as a job applicant, it is very likely that you may face a psychometric test during the recruitment process for your next job. This should not concern you greatly, because this may simply be what it takes to get the best job; therefore, your focus should be on properly preparing yourself for these tests so you can maximise your chance of success. It is important to prepare because research shows that practicing tests under simulated test conditions will mean that you perform better during the ‘real thing’. But, what tests should you practice for? While most employers will tell you that there will be a psychometric, many of them will not tell you what the test will be. So, in this article, we thought we would supply you with a little insight into the kind of tests you might face at interview.
