The Performance Reality
Typically in every company:
- 16% of employees are ‘Non-Producers’- 68% of employees are ‘Average Producers’- 16% of employees are ‘Superior Producers’
What is your return on investment?
www.assessyourtalent.com
Employee Return on Investment
AVERAGE producers typical output*:
- Professionals and management: 48%- Skilled: 32%- Entry Level: 19%
*Productivity level as a percent of salary
www.assessyourtalent.com
ROI Calculator
Salary x Productivity Level % = Employee ROI
Then
Salary – Employee ROI = $ Loss/Profit
www.assessyourtalent.com
Why does this matter?Entry Level Employees -‘Average’ workers output = 19% more than ‘Non-producers’
-‘Superior’ workers output = 19% more than ‘Average’
-‘Superior’ workers output = 38% more than Non-producers’
Skilled Employees -‘Average’ workers output = 32% more than ‘Non-producers’
-‘Superior’ workers output = 32% more than ‘Average’
-‘Superior’ workers output = 64% more than Non-producers’
Management / Professional -‘Average’ workers output = 48% more than ‘Non-producers’
- ‘Superior’ workers output = 48% more than ‘Average’
- ‘Superior’ workers output = 96% more than ‘Non-producers’

Implications- If any position is below average, the loss is
doubled – but so is the potential for improvement
- Every time you move performance in any single job from ‘average’ to ‘superior’, you have a measurable financial impact
www.assessyourtalent.com
Your Challenge
To ensure that every “people” decision whether hiring, placement, promotional or development is aimed at promoting ‘superior’ performance by engaging what the employee is good at.
www.assessyourtalent.com
When do people perform at a superior level?
“It’s not experience – or college degrees – or other accepted factors……(it) hinges on fit with the job.”
www.assessyourtalent.com
You get two shots at superior performance
1. Place the right people the first time
2. Coach the people you have and progress them in the right positions
www.assessyourtalent.com
Have you ever hired or promoted someone that:- Did not live up to your expectations?- Exceeded your expectations?
How different were the processes used?
…predicting superior performance is all about having enough of the right information when you make people decisions.

What you don’t see could sink you
