Our Emotional Intelligence (EQ) assessment is based on a multi-dimensional view of EQ. Our EQ score is normed based on the standard bell curve, which results in 16 percent of individuals scoring “low,” 68 percent of individuals scoring “average” and 16 percent scoring “high.” Using test-retest reliability, all reliability estimates exceed the minimally acceptable level of .770, thus showing that our EQ assessments measure behavioral tendencies consistently and reliably.
People Analytics also known as talent analytics or HR analytics, refers to the method of analytics that can help managers and executives make decisions about their employees or workforce. When everything in HR is digital, prioritized and managed with data, HR can show where and how much it directly impacts strategic business goals.
Since the implementation of SaaS based Human Resource and Learning Systems there has been a flood of data available to HR leaders. What has been lacking is the knowledge to prioritize the data and build dashboards. In the past such analysis was used for cost justification for investment in systems. Historically less than 10% of the Global 2,000 utilized people analytics. Today, the number is approaching 70%. The demands of the millennial workforce, increasing speed of change and governmental regulations demand analytics.
