For Human Resources Professionals

 

Applications As Human Resources Software

Major applications as human resources software are:

• evaluate the effectiveness of training: knowledge-based training, skills training, and major developmental interventions;
• act as a selection interview tool, either in assessing knowledge or as a highly advanced behaviour-based interview;
• develop person-specifications, for an existing job or for concentrating attention on the demands of a new job;
• develop person specifications by analysing the characteristics of existing jobholders
• measure organisation culture, facilitate change, and develop management competences;
• develop individual training needs and act as a tool for performance counselling;
• reflect on personal experience, for example examining individual learning styles, self-analysis of skills and abilities, and examining people’s experience with systems such as performance appraisal;
• design attitude surveys, for example on work stress;
• design a training programme for knowledge or skills;
• support an organisational review;
• resolve conflict and negotiate shared meanings about key concepts.

Enquire Within^® has several unique features as an information-gathering process

• it is completely free from any bias which could be imposed by the interviewer or the process. When you use it to interview someone, you know that you are getting their uncontaminated, unprompted perceptions;
• its rigorous statistical analysis allows you to map the user’s perceptions, and changes in perceptions, with the utmost precision;
• using nothing but the information the user gives it, and imposing no preconceived framework about the responses, Enquire Within begins by charting the user’s current understanding, and then challenges the user to delve broader and deeper until nothing remains to be said. With Enquire Within’s help, you can transform anecdote into expertise;

The architecture of Enquire Within also enables you to:

• identify gaps in the user’s knowledge;
• identify, confront, and - where possible - resolve prejudices and stereotypes in the user’s judgements;
• challenge the user’s blind spots, and reduce the size and significance of the ‘things you don’t know you don’t know’.
