59% Turnover Reduction: “Character measurement produced tremendous turnover reduction. We totally integrated the Simmons Personal Survey into our Human Resource procedures, using it specifically at three levels. After job applicants were narrowed down to three, all were given the Survey. We used it for every position, from entry level throughout management. Since we originally began by giving the Survey to all of our existing management, we could see how the Survey scores related to success in our stores. We knew what we were looking for in an applicant, and could choose the one who would fit best. We also used the Survey to help us know which employees were really ready for promotion. Within 18 months, the Survey was the key to reducing turnover from a crippling 172% to a manageable 70% . ” Pat Sumpter, Management Consultant.
