The BestWork System – a Broader Perspective
I recently heard someone who has successfully used BestWork ask “What is the difference between BestWork and another instrument?” It reminds me of the classic fable of the six blind men and the elephant. Each one only recognized the part of the elephant they were touching. No one realized the reality of the elephant.
We have happy clients who only recognize the part of BestWork they first used. They are not aware that BestWork is a complete system for talent acquisition and talent management with dozens of applications at hand… all using the same DATA. The extraordinary results that clients have experienced came from the scope of applications they use. The redesign of of the client interface will help users to see all of the things they can do. In the meantime, the below piece will offer a snapshot of the various solutions that are available.
With a smile,

BestWork is an operating system for human resources. It combines talent acquisition and talent management into a suite of unique tools with critical information that enables businesses to make more effective decisions regarding their people.
BestWork measures the hard-wired personality traits and cognitive abilities of each individual. These are the strengths that each person has and which never go away. They are foundational to job performance, communication, collaboration, and anything that involves thinking, learning or behaving. The same DATA that is used for hiring, is used for training and managing. It is used for career planning and problem solving. It a powerful, game changing resource for any business.
The BestWork system includes:
Job Fit – Does the individual have the hard-wired strengths and abilities to perform a certain job? This is the primary question for hiring and for performance management.
Screening & Selection – BestWork screens out bad hires quickly without wasting time on unnecessary interviews. It provides behavioral event-based interview questions that help to select the best candidates for the job.
Onboarding & Training – Once they are hired, it is important to onboard properly and train them effectively so that they become productive as soon as possible.
Managing Performance – All employees require performance management to achieve their best results. Each person is different, and BestWork explains what is needed for each person.
Communicating & Collaborating – These are the lifeblood of every enterprise. BestWork offers tools for both individuals and work groups to identify and resolve blocks that can affect these.
Team Engineering – Using the BestWork system, any type of team or work group can be engineered for higher performance. A scripted workshop is available for clients to use with easy to use exercises.
Career Planning – BestWork can identify the most promising career paths for any employee.
Remote Working – Many companies are engaged in some level of remote working, yet almost half of the population will struggle or even fail in such situations. BestWork’s information can help a business to work with its employees’ capabilities in the most effective way.
