Behavior assessment is an effective tool that facilitates organizational cost reduction spanning different levels. Take the example of DISC assessment, a popular behavior assessment tool, which aids calculative pre and post recruitment analysis of every employee. How does this benefit an organization? Truth is that it saves an organization from huge losses in terms of employee turnover and bad hiring.
How Behavior Assessment Reduces Costs
Here are some ways in which behavior assessments reduce costs:
- Promoting effective communication is how these assessments help to reduce costs. In Sun Tzu’s “The Art of War,” it cited parallels between an organization and a hierarchical military organization. It highlighted effective communication as the core strength of any successful organization. It leads to improvement in interpersonal communication. It minimizes unnecessary conflicts and scapegoating. Transparent communication results in multiple cost benefits.
- Better employee selection is another important benefit as employee turnover is a costly affair. On an average, the cost of replacing an employee ranges between 70% and 200% of the salary. This cost spans recruitment costs, opportunity cost of lost productivity and training expenses. Thus, it reduces chances of hiring an inefficient candidate and costs are saved in terms of bad hiring and turnover.
- It facilitates improvement in performance, productivity and team spirit.
- It is useful for training, accurate role allocation and retention of employees.
