Diane
has 23 years of experience in human resources and customer service
for a Fortune 100 company. With a Bachelor’s degree in Communications
and a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology, Diane understands
the need for companies to use objective measures to screen candidates
and develop employees, but also how the company should promote these
efforts to add value to incumbents and prospective employees alike.
Diane’s
expertise includes developing strategies in the use of tools and processes
for effective candidate screening, thereby saving companies time and
money. By narrowing the pool of candidates to those that are most appropriate
for the position, this saves time by reducing the number of interviews
of candidates who are not a good fit for the position or the company.
It saves money by reducing turnover and increasing productivity.
A customized screening and development process including appropriate
assessment tools for all levels of the company can provide your organization
with the critical advantage of legally assessing candidates, understanding
the nature of the employees and how they function together, as well as
uncovering critical skills for success.
Non-exempt
employees – For
your hourly employees, there is a host of options including skills
testing (Microsoft Office products, typing, data entry, and many more),
cognitive testing (reasoning, problem solving, language skills), and
personality assessments.
Exempt
employees – For
your supervisors and above, assessments can provide appropriate screening
to determine best fit, as well as provide insights into development
opportunities.
Teams – For all employees. Effectively working together is essential
for your company’s success. To do so requires awareness of each
person’s work style and how that style impacts others in the work
environment. Assessments are available to provide this type of insight.
Diane brings to Powers HR her years of practical experience, passion
for revealing ways to select and develop your most important assets,
and a wealth of information regarding various strategies and tools that
will create the most dynamic results for your organization.
