Are Talent Insights objective?
Gyfted creates state-of-the-art tools for organizations and talent management professionals based on sound psychometric, occupational psychology and behavioral science and empirical proof. Our approach is crafted to offer a nuanced understanding of talent dynamics within your organization.
We consciously steer away from traditional Likert-type scales in our assessment methodologies. Our rationale is to minimize social desirability bias, a common challenge in self-reported measures, which can skew results and hinder accurate talent assessment. Instead, we utilize more sophisticated response options, such as ranking and forced-choice formats. These methods are more effective in eliciting genuine responses and provide a clearer, more accurate reflection of an individual's capabilities and traits.
In our toolkit, we integrate acclaimed models and theories that have proven effective in understanding human behavior and professional competencies. A cornerstone of our approach is the Five Factor Model (FFM) of personality, which offers a comprehensive framework for understanding key personality traits. This model is instrumental in predicting job performance and cultural fit. Additionally, we incorporate Schwartz's Theory of Basic Values, a profound tool in understanding an individual's value system, which is critical in aligning personal values with organizational goals.
We leverage Goleman’s Emotional Intelligence framework, recognizing the vital role of emotional competencies in workplace success. Emotional intelligence is a key predictor of performance, leadership potential, and collaboration effectiveness. By integrating this framework, we provide insights into how individuals manage emotions, navigate social complexities, and make decisions, which are crucial skills in today’s fast-paced work environment.
Our methodologies are enriched by a Competencies Graph (a skills graph ontology) that embeds O*Net’s extensive occupational database. This integration allows us to provide detailed insights into various occupational requirements and competencies, aiding in effective job-role mapping and talent alignment.
Our approach is not just theoretical but highly practical and tailored to meet the strategic and day-to-day talent development needs of your organization. We invite you to contact us for a comprehensive walkthrough of our offerings. This will enable us to demonstrate how our tools and methodologies align with your specific talent management objectives, helping to foster a culture of excellence and growth within your enterprise.
