Fritz Drasgow, Ph.D. Joins PI Worldwide to Host Webinar on Navigating the World of Talent Assessments

WELLESLEY, Mass., April 14, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- PI Worldwide, a leader in science-driven insights that help optimize the performance and potential of individuals, teams, and organizations, will host a webinar with Fritz Drasgow, Ph.D., titled, "Navigating the World of Talent Assessments: What Matters Most?" Webinar attendees will learn how to improve key business metrics through the use of talent data and analytics. The one-hour broadcast will take place on Tuesday, April 21, 2015 at 3 p.m. EDT.

Finding and keeping the best talent today hinges on accessing, understanding and applying predictive analytics that drive results. Today, Bersin reports that up to 70 percent of organizations are using assessments to measure skills, behaviors, cognitive ability and other workforce data (up from 30-40 percent just five years ago). However, with hundreds of assessments to consider, how can you cut through the complexity to select the right system that will deliver real results?

Dr. Drasgow, a renowned I/O psychologist, and professor and dean at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, will join Michelle Kozin, PI Worldwide vice president of learning and communications to provide an overview of the following:

• The rise of non-cognitive assessments for predicting job performance
• How HR can build a business case for talent analytics
• Why Best-in-Class organizations rely on these assessments for improving selection, retention, teamwork and leadership development
• Validity? Adverse Impact? A checklist of what matters when selecting assessments

This event is the first in PI Worldwide's three-part webinar series developed to showcase the benefits of using workforce analytics to solve many of today's business challenges.  Upcoming webinar topics and dates include:

• Millennials: May 6, 2015
• Talent Acceleration: June 4, 2015
