Meridian Assessment Services

Meridian provides the right assessments to measure the right things.

Our assessment data enables individuals, teams, and organizations to develop strategies for leveraging strengths and targeting opportunities for improvement.

Assessments for Increasing Self-Awareness and Improving Self-Management:

• FOUNDATIONS™ 360 Degree Collaboration Assessment – No matter where you are in the organizational structure, your ability to succeed collaboratively is powerfully impacted by how you are perceived by others. There are certain behaviors we exhibit that we simply cannot see in ourselves. They are blind spots, and we all have them. FOUNDATIONS™ allows you to see those blind spots as they’re revealed through an assessment of how others view you—a view that establishes the basis for how others interact with you—for better or worse. With the FoundationsTM data, you can leverage that information to achieve powerful results.
  
  FOUNDATIONS™ is a unique 360° web-based assessment tool that provides a rare opportunity to see yourself as others see you and gauge your ability to collaborate effectively.
  
         
  
  
• Keys™ Value Clarification Process –Meridian’s tool provides individuals and teams with a vehicle for examining the role of values in the workplace.  It also provides groups with a process for articulating group norms and needs.  Keys is a highly interactive tool, promoting dialogue and values clarification.
  
  
• Myers-Briggs Type Indicator™ (MBTI) – The MBTI helps individuals and teams identify their preferences on how they prefer to interact with their environment and the people in it.  This tool is highly effective for developing awareness of individual and team preferences, and how they influence communication in the workplace.  It provides clear explanations for our differences and creates a level of awareness that facilitates a constructive approach for managing human differences.
  

Assessments for Team and Business Unit Performance Improvement:

• Insight™ Internal Customer Assessment –Meridian’s tool is specifically designed for use by Support Units such as Human Resources, Accounting, and Facilities, etc., which support the activities of the Operational Units.  The results identify the needs of the Operational Units, relative to the services/products supplied by the Support Units, and measures how well they are performing.  With this data, Support Units can better target their services, improve their level of service, or innovate new delivery mechanisms.
  
  
• Workbench™ Business Unit Assessment –Meridian’s tool assesses the performance of business units, large and small, along eight dimensions: Organizational, Management, Job Satisfaction, Team Commitment, Team Roles & Responsibilities, Team Communication, Team Conflict Management, and Team Decision Making.  The information is collected in face-to-face interviews and written surveys, and provides business units with valuable information for improving productivity, increasing job satisfaction, and reducing stress and burnout.
  
  
• TAP™ Team Assessment Profile –Meridian developed this “team mapping” tool to help groups better understand their collective strengths and challenges as they work together as a team.  Whether you are on a special team assignment, or on a permanent work team, TAP will help your team understand the dynamics of your team and help you develop strategies for resolving differences, collectively solving problems, and making better decisions.

Training Assessments & Plans:

• Needs Assessments – Before you invest your training dollars, identify the training needs from an organizational, strategic, and individual needs perspective.  Training is a sound investment in building productive capability. 
  
  In fact, you will get a better return on your investment from training than almost any other capital investment, and taking the time to identify specific needs will improve your results and give you the best return on your investment.
• Training Assessment Tools

• Level I – Learning Evaluation:  This evaluation tool allows you to measure the participant satisfaction regarding content, format and instructor value.
  
  
• Level II – Learning Evaluation:  This evaluation tool allows you to measure whether the participants learned the stated training objectives.
  
  
• Level III – Behavior or Skill Application Evaluation:  This is an evaluation technique that allows you to measure whether the participants are using the acquired skill and/or knowledge in the performance of their jobs.
  
  
• Level IV – Impact Evaluations:  This technique allows you to measure the impact of the training in the ability of participants to “add value” on the job.  It is generally designed to yield a cost/benefit analysis.
