Today’s workplace
requires the very best of each employee and your organization deserves
the best people. We offer psychological tools to help ensure that
your workforce meets the demands of your business or organizational
environment. Hiring, retaining, and promoting the best people are
among your organization's most important tasks. Since 1991, we have
helped over 100 organizations at the local, state, and national
levels by examining thousands of applicants and employees from all
walks of life, such as nurses, executives, clerks, police officers,
secretaries, engineers, sales people, attorneys, teachers, firefighters,
assembly workers, and truck drivers. We can help with critical personnel
decisions.

Psychological Evaluations for Pre-employment Screening
of Job Applicants
It can be hard to find the
right applicant. Depending on the specific job he or she must be
smart, have integrity, have a good work ethic, know how to deal
effectively with others, and show good judgment. We can help analyze
the characteristics necessary for a job and construct a testing
program to measure them. We will recommend whether or not to hire,
and let you know what supervisory or training needs the applicant
may benefit from. In our pre-employment
screening process use a structured, in-depth interview and a
battery of well-standardized tests of personality, cognitive ability,
and personal background. This combination of methods allows us to
make fair and accurate predictions of success and potential problems
with regard to each specific job description and set of job requirements.
We work closely with employers to determine the best selection criteria
and the most telling problem areas for the job in question.

Management Assessment
Leadership and management
skills don’t automatically come with experience. Even the
very best line staff with years of experience do not necessary make
effective supervisors. Your new supervisor needs to have excellent
organizational skills, know how to persuade and motivate employees,
have excellent customer service skills, be highly motivated, and
have an organizational vision for the future. We can help you select
the best person for the job.

Fitness-for-Duty Psychological Evaluations
One of the most difficult
situations an administrator has to deal with is an employee who
is troubled or problematic, and may be unable to work in a safe
and effective manner. Through a comprehensive examination process,
we can tell you if your employee is fit to work, and, if not, what
to do to help that person and your organization. We will recommend
interventions such as mental health or chemical dependency treatment,
if appropriate, as well as advise you regarding possible work restrictions
and accommodations to help your employee get back to work, if and
when that’s possible. We can help you plan strategies that
will conform to recommended practices under the Americans with Disabilities
Act (ADA). And if an employee is unlikely to be able to return to
work in the foreseeable future, we can help facilitate applicable
long-term disability benefits. A thorough and timely fitness-for-duty
exam can protect your organization from potentially dangerous behavior
and from possible charges of negligence in hiring or retention.
It is also the best way to make sure that a problem employee gets
the help he or she needs. Our fitness-for-duty
examinations include an in-depth, structured interview with
the employee, a battery of objective personality and cognitive tests,
and a review of the records related to the problem behaviors. We
strive to provide information that is in the best interests of the
employee and the organization.

Psychological Evaluations for Disability Determination
and Return-to-Work
Management
Mental health, emotional,
and personality problems are “invisible” disorders that
can have a profound effect in the workplace. For disability
determination and outline return-to-work
issues, we use a structured, in-depth interview and a battery of
objective, well-standardized personality, intelligence and academic
achievement, and neuropsychological tests. We review social and
personal history and education and work history, and determine the
employee’s level of motivation. We strive to make recommendations
that are in the best interests of the employee and the organization,
including reasonable workplace accommodations.
•
Consultation and Training for ADA and FMLA
The Americans with Disabilities
Act (ADA) is designed to provide fair access to employment for people
with disabilities. The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) guarantees
eligible employees leave for certain medical issues, such as childbirth,
care of immediate family members, and mental health problems. We
can help your organization comply with these laws to best serve
your employees and to meet your organizational goals by making an
accurate assessment of what mental health or personality problems
might exist and planning return-to-work
strategies, including reasonable accommodations.

can help your employees and organization.
