Insights

Situational Judgment Tests

Podium's Situational Judgment Tests (SJTs) present scenarios based on real world workplace occurrences. Participants are presented with action options which they would choose or rate as most appropriate or effective in the presented situation.

Results are therefore related to the good judgement and good decision making capabilities of the test taker. When the scenarios presented are chosen for their relevance to the client or user organisation they become an effective behavioural assessment and can be highly effective in evaluating relevant leadership competencies.

Horizons

Career Guidance & Development

Horizons is based on one of the most widely accepted models of career themes today: the Holland model of general career themes. As a career guidance tool, it provides individuals with insight into their interests and potential career paths.

Career guidance can help individuals find more satisfying careers as well as understand what they need to equip themselves with in order to pursue their career of choice.

Pulse

Well-being and Engagement

Isolation is one of the most common issues raised by remote workers and can lead to lower levels of job satisfaction. Pulse survey is designed to help organisations survey employee well-being and identify issues that impact their well-being and engagement while working remotely or during times of abrupt change.

The Pulse survey measures eight scales related to personal and work adjustment, and potential determinants of adjustment specific to remote working.
