Assessment

The more informed you are about a candidate’s capabilities, the more successful you will be at placing the right leaders in the right roles.   BEC offers comprehensive, customized Assessment Services to support the company’s current leadership challenges or hiring the right fit for your executive position.

For the current team, no matter how successful an organization or team may be, there’s always room for improvement. Because the first step is uncovering areas for improvement, missing elements or conflicts within a management team structure, assessments will show which members of your workforce are performing well in their current roles.

Leveraging several different methods to measure an individual’s leadership ability, potential, fit and readiness, BEC selects the appropriate assessments and benchmarks for targeted levels of leadership development to provide the insights you need.   Our assessments include market-based interviews, behavioral leadership interviews, leadership inventories and business simulations.

By comparing these results against established standards and your own leadership team and strategies, we identify gaps and challenges—the first step toward developing an action plan to address them. Our Assessment Services range from evaluating a single employee to analyzing the effectiveness of an entire organizational structure.

Our Assessment process includes steps to:

  • Analyze organizational work force needs based on corporate strategic plan
  • Develop and define the competency model essential to the success of the organization and select assessment tools
  • Identify gaps in current employee and candidate competency levels
  • Develop succession strategies to retain high-potential and top talent, develop high-potential talent, recruit the right talent, and conduct strategic work force planning
  • Link succession planning processes to human resources processes and development strategies
  • Monitor and evaluate succession planning process

Coaching

How We Do It:

We start by aligning with your business strategy and providing an objective, quantified assessment for target leaders and executives. Based on the individual’s assessment report, we determine a clear action plan that complements your business goals, including milestones, deliverables and timelines. We give executives the guidance and accountability they need to stick to that action plan and put new skills and behaviors into practice to make a difference for your organization. Highly customized, our executive coaching services are hands-on and focused on action and accountability. Designed to deliver solutions to business problems and drive executives to their highest performance, our process is based on a proven methodology with milestones and measurable results.

Executive Onboarding

Our Onboarding services pick up where the executive search process ends, and help some of the world’s top organizations integrate new executives in a more structured and effective way. Focusing on the early stages of an executive’s tenure, we reduce the time it takes for him or her to start making a meaningful impact, and maximize the leader's personal engagement with the organization and brand. We work with new hires and internal promotions.

A combination of experience and evidence-based expertise.

Our extensive experience in this area, combined with our comprehensive and ongoing research, means we know the elements that really count toward early success in an executive role. We also understand what kinds of support and guidance are likely to be most effective. Our executives find their first 90 days to be more efficient and productive. 

The benefits of our onboarding services.

We offer a “Six Step Process”, within this process we align the first 90 days of an executive’s tenure.  Statistics show that a well aligned Executive Onboarding program can assist a new hire to increase speed to production and prolong the tenure of the hire through quicker assimilation to the culture. Other ways Executive Onboarding can be impactful;

  • Accelerate the assimilation of new hires and promoted employees, allowing them to make value-adding contributions sooner
  • Enable new hires to fully integrate into the enterprise culture
  • Protect investment by minimizing the risk of new recruits departing prematurely
