Assessments & Coaching

With the cost of employee attrition escalating, organizations are investing time and budget in grooming management and high potential employees for career advancement and leadership positions.

As workplace authorities, The Dalley Hewitt Company is skilled at assessing individuals and developing Career Management Programs tailored to each individual’s natural talents, interests, development needs and company environment.

Assessments

The Dalley Hewitt Company uses the Highlands Ability Battery, a state-of-the-art assessment tool, to help you understand your natural talents and make focused career and educational choices that benefit employees and employers alike.

You learn what comes easiest and instinctively to you. Specifically, the Ability Battery helps you to:

• Define individual abilities
• Promote self-understanding
• Build self-confidence
• Make informed educational choices
• Make the best possible career decisions
• Assess occupational satisfaction
• Experience success and self-fulfillment

The Ability Battery is an objective test with over 19 work samples designed to measure single natural abilities as opposed to learned skills. These tests define how "naturally" the underlying aptitude comes to each of us.

Written feedback

You receive a 30-page written report defining your results. As an Affiliate of The Highlands Company, we provide you with a two-hour private feedback session to discuss your abilities as they relate to your career, schooling and life.

We assist you in relating your ability profile to your career definitions, life plan and potential educational decisions. This process is the foundation for developing a long-term career strategy.

No matter who you are or what stage of your career you are in, you can count on the ability profile to be a practical, objective means to get you focused on your future direction.

You gain the knowledge to make practical decisions about educational choices and career options.

Group assessments

In addition to assessing individuals, The Dalley Hewitt Company provides the Ability Battery to groups as a cost-effective, efficient way to deliver feedback and strengthen team dynamics.

Feedback includes activities and opportunities for interaction so that participants acquire insights specific to them as individuals. You have the opportunity to exploit your own natural abilities and to understand the collective abilities and dynamics of your group.

You are able to develop strategies for using your knowledge to increase the effectiveness and performance of the team.
