Using data to make decisions in the workplace; especially in recruitment, selection and promotion, allows for objectivity in the decision-making process. This results in an elimination of biases and ultimately, a more effective decision being made. In a digital age where we have the tools to make effective, data-driven decisions, it is surprising that gender representation in the workplace is still a problem. Companies should take advantage of tools like the Predictive Index Behavioural Assessment™, delivered by PI certified partner Predictive Success. The Predictive Index Behavioural Assessment™ is a software that can use data to objectively identify behavioural traits in candidates that will fit with the role and the company’s organizational culture.
