TOOL FOR VALUES ASSESSMENTValues assessment that offers an objective measure of aspects regarded as relevant and desirable at work in order to attain the strategic mission of the company successfully.
At IIC we have developed PODIUM, an online test for individual and organizational values assessment to be used for recruitment and reviews within a framework of Management by Values in HR.
What is the values assessment PODIUM?
PODIUM is a tool for values assessment that offers an objective measure of aspects regarded as relevant and desirable at work in order to attain the strategic mission of the company successfully. From a multidimensional perspective, results of the assessment come from three different sources: perception of individual values, perception of organizational values and the links between them.
PODIUM consists of three self-report scales that assess several aspects of personal values and the values regarded by an individual as relevant for the organization.
The content of the test is based on behavioural evidences and offers an objective and reliable measure of the following variables:
- The individual’s perception of the degree of adjustment or coherence between their personal values and the values of the organization.
- Hierarchy of individual and organizational values and alignment and similarities between them.
- Coherence of action between individual and organizational values mentioned and actual behaviour.
How does PODIUM work?
Depending on the objective of the assessment process, the HR Manager may choose:
- a customised configuration of the scales the test consists of, according to the indicators needed (perception of adjustment, hierarchy of values or coherence of action).
- pre-setting the corporate values to be measured in order to find out the degree of adjustment of the person in respect of them.
There are several different applications according to the needs of the assessment process:
Individual assessment
The tool generates a customised report automatically, including the most relevant results, findings and inconsistencies in regards to making decisions about a candidate or employee.
Organizational assessment
On the basis of individual assessments, IIC experts perform a joint analysis of results and prepare a report on the most relevant findings to respond to objectives and needs of the assessment process.
In both cases, the person who makes the assessment may connect to the Internet and conduct the assessment process assigned from any device and at any time of the day.
PODIUM is computerised and generates an automatic report including an interpretation of the most relevant results and conclusions for decision-making in HR processes.
