What do successful performers achieve?
Successful light equipment operators deliver quality goods and services by meeting high standards and working effectively and efficiently. They initiate work (and) persist through it to completion, enabling them to be productive. They have fewer behavior problems, involuntary terminations, absences, and rule violations. A productive workforce of successful hourly operators is more stable, has less theft and drug use, and accomplishes more.
Which of our Personal Job Fit factors work the best?
Light Equipment Operators often face a demanding work pace, with time pressure to produce target quantities of goods or services. While some (carpenters and mechanics) can perform a wide variety of tasks or challenges, others show tenacity in consistently performing the same set of tasks again and again, sometimes in uncomfortably hot, cold, or noisy settings. LE Operators often are needed during non-standard work hours to deliver services conveniently for customers.
Which of our Test Scales work the best?
Responsible hourly employees get high scores on our Dependability test. These high scorers overall goof off less and work more. They follow established procedures, keep promises, control impulses, and become solid organizational citizens, all predicted by good Dependability test results. Our safety scale identifies operators who have fewer accidents and injuries, in labor-intensive and material handling environments, but also in retail, where employees are not hardened to physical tasks. 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 LE Operator candidates have a history of working hard, paying attention to details, and knowing the technicalities of their jobs, all adding up to quality output, and communicated in their on-line interviews. They also relate success stories about their good interpersonal skills and customer service experiences, which they also apply to cooperative teamwork. They talk about how they rise to meet unusual demands with extra effort in challenging circumstances.
