The PDP Behavioral Assessment® is a comprehensive personnel management system. Going well beyond defining the specific job traits of an applicant or an employee, PDP's® Integrated Management System provides managers a process to capture, structure and assess behavioral information. Not only does it exactly define employees and what motivates them, it can be used by managers to achieve better and more consistent results from their charges in their ongoing environment.

The five major components of PDP® System:

Pro Scan® - a predictive tool that defines the way a person functions naturally. It further defines the role that person feels a need to play on a day-to-day basis. It defines how the person will come across to others. And finally it defines satisfaction levels, stress level, energy levels, decision making styles, communication styles, and leadership styles. This is the key tool for the entire PDP® system and is used extensively throughout the other components of the system.

Job Scan® - defines the behavioral dynamics required for success in a job as specified by the job's manager & its top performers. That information is then used to measure applicants against the model that has been created. It can also be used to rank multiple applicants who are competing for the same position. Job Scan® is a particularly strong tool that can be used by small and medium companies in helping decide the true personnel parameters of a specific job.

Team Scan® - describes the composite behavior profiles of groups from 2 to 500. Used to analyze employee-to-employee & manager-to-employee interaction to develop a cohesive team. Use this system as a dynamic tool to identify and then resolve conflicts within any size group.

Pep Scan® - provides objective, constructive and easy-to-administer performance appraisals that are fair to both the company and the employee based on job values set by management and top performers.

Strategic Mapping (Strat-Map)™ - is an exciting new subsystem that provides managers with a precise tool to exactly quantify and qualify their employees and define how management can resolve their job related deficiencies. Working with the management segment of the Pro Scan® report, and their department budget, Strat-Map™ helps the manager compile exact costs associated with the resolution of specific personnel problems. There may be no better tool to defend a legal position than Strat-Map™ should the employer be confronted with an unlawful discharge action.

In using the PDP® behavioral assessment you will learn more about your applicant and employee than you ever thought possible. You will be able to measure each person's dynamics and then stimulate them to excel and succeed. Fully EEOC compliant, and with a confirmed accuracy rating of 93%+, the system is a tremendous tool to be put to use by the enlightened manager. The system can be used repetitively to continually gauge how personnel are changing within the Company atmosphere. When each individual is right for the job, able to perform at their best, understood and appreciated, the organization will excel and succeed.

The PDP® system is versatile and can accommodate the requirements of both the large and the small company. The system is perhaps best used when installed in-house, but it can also be purchased one report at a time directly from ERS. All training is handled by a certified training staff who must under go re-certification themselves once every three years. A client can choose to use parts of the system or the whole system as suits the needs of their organization.
