What do successful performers achieve?

Successful heavy equipment/ production operators deliver quality products and error-free services by meeting high standards and working effectively and efficiently. They maintain their attention and alertness through long periods where nothing appears to go wrong so that they avoid hectic, costly, failures where everything goes wrong in a hurry. They use naturally occurring and unavoidable breaks to proactively perform important equipment checks and maintenance. They have fewer behavior problems, involuntary terminations, absences, and rule violations. They carefully follow safety rules and procedural checklists, even when it feels routine. They quickly detect and investigate small anomalies in processes or results, avoiding major problems later. A productive workforce of successful heavy equipment or production operators is more stable, has less theft and drug use, and  more uptime with less waste and/or accidents.

Which of our Personal Job Fit factors work the best?

Heavy Equipment/ Production Operators often face a steady, predictable work pace that can sometimes turn hectic and even dangerous without much warning. The consequences of small lapses in attention, failure to confirm a critical step, or changes that cannot be easily predicted (weather, markets, quality of inputs) can be both very costly and potentially fatal. It takes a special kind of talent to remain vigilant for small indicators of potentially big problems when things appear to be normal.  Heavy Equipment/ Production Operators sometimes work in uncomfortably hot, cold, or noisy settings. They are often are needed during non-standard work hours (shifts around the clock) to keep the output of expensive capital equipment high over its useful life cycle.

Which of our Test Scales work the best?

Successful Heavy Equipment/Production Operators score high on our Dependability test. These high scorers attend more closely, care more about accuracy and reliability, checking twice before taking important actions. They follow established regulations and procedures, keep promises, control impulses, and become solid organizational citizens. Our safety scale identifies HE/Prod Operators who have fewer accidents and injuries, higher production up-times, less materials or labor waste, and reduced Workers Compensation claims. High Retention test scores predict employees who will stay longer in their jobs, thus showing their stability and engagement.

Which of our Performance Competencies work the best?

Top HE/P Operator candidates can confirm achievements that feature paying attention to details, anticipating and then acting to avoid mechanical or process problems, and knowing the latest technical details of their jobs, all adding up to improved output value at a reduced production cost. They also relate success stories about clear, complete handoffs, and improved team collaboration. They document how they rise to resolve potential product or service failures in novel situations with quick thinking and/or extra effort.
