Thomas International Announces Launch of Flex Assessment Platform

Upgraded platform provides Canadian and U.S. clients with intuitive navigation and expanded assessment capabilities

Toronto, Canada (PRWEB) September 24, 2009 -- Thomas International, a global provider of objective management systems and work based assessment tools, has released the fourth version of their online assessment platform to the Canadian and U.S. talent management markets.

Thomas’ Flex platform allows for more intuitive user navigation and the addition of three new tools to its collection of assessment solutions. A solution for both SMB and Enterprise companies, it enables organizations to align the use of various propriety assessment solutions with their business strategy. The intuitive nature and single page navigation of the Flex platform allows quick deployment and end-user adoption for both HR professionals and line managers.

In addition to its behavioral and aptitude assessments, Thomas complements these solutions with three new assessments. Thomas’ enhanced Team Audit report enables an organization to measure groups of individuals, with the goal of aligning teams to business strategy. It’s ideal for building virtual teams, ”breaking down silos” on existing teams, and fits seamlessly into team building (http://www.thomasus.com/teambuilding.htm) sessions. Also inserted into Thomas’ lineup are 360 assessments for both leadership and sales functions. The 360 assessments work well with Thomas’ existing self-referencing behavioral assessment, allowing an organization to not only gather feedback from multiple raters, but quantify that feedback through a valid and reliable behavioral assessment. In partnership, these two tools create a new dimension to the multi-rater feedback process.

Finally, Thomas rounds off its Flex platform with the first and only behavioral reports that can be fully customized by the user, with no time-consuming integration or expensive development costs. Thomas’ Customized Reports help users create their own behavioral reports from a library of 10 million words of text. Billions of possible report permutations enable users to develop reports that align with their specific talent management initiatives, including pre-employment testing (http://www.thomasus.com/preemploymenttest.htm), on boarding, leadership development (http://www.thomasus.com/leadership.htm), and succession planning.

“Talent is now the primary concern for CEOs who recognize their workforce as an appreciating asset and a competitive advantage,” said Merle Ballaigues, president of Thomas Canada and USA. “With the deployment of our Flex platform and enhanced assessment capabilities, our North American users are provided greater resources to deliver on their CEO`s talent management mandate.”
