No, it is not systematically considered.

No, not officially. Within the division we offer CliftonStrengths testing for anyone who wishes to take it though.

Senior Director Engineering in Travel and Hospitality2 years ago

Absolutely! Its a key decision point during leadership hiring

For sales reps and sales managers we use an assessment that is not personality (because you can't hire strong sellers that way, or strong sales managers) but rather use the top core sales competencies.

How are you approaching the evolution of marketing’s role when it comes to owning or shaping customer insight strategy on your team?

We’re exploring changes to our performance management approach by introducing a mid-year check-in and a year-end evaluation. At the same time, we already run an established Talent Review process mid-year, though employees are not informed of their placement. We’re mindful that managers might see these processes as repetitive. How do you handle this in your organizations? What approaches have worked well for you?
