What Does HA Do?

HA assesses over 150 work preference traits, yet accomplishes this through a brief (less than 30 minutes) questionnaire and follow-up interpretation with high reliability and construct validity. HA also demonstrates high correlational validity with personality assessments such as the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) and the 16PF, meaning that you have a reliable, proven tool established according to world standards.

HA costs a fraction of other personality and behavioural questionnaires, for greater results. Given the costs of recruiting and losing good people, a consultation is a small investment that can profit you tens of thousands of dollars per person.

As a Work Preferences questionnaire, HA has the unique ability to forecast success of individuals and teams within specific roles with a high degree of accuracy AND to provide direction for HOW individuals can develop their skills and preferences to perform better. But unlike a large array of personality assessments, it does this without unduly pigeon-holing people.

"Since employing the services of Lamplighter Performance Consulting and standardising on the use of Harrison Assessments, National Corporate Training has been able to significantly lift the standard of new employees.  In addition the Behavioural Assessments also provide management with an insightful understanding of how best to manage individual employees to ensure high performance.   We have found Harrison Assessments to be ‘uncannily accurate’ as a predictor of human behaviour and are now more confident about the recruiting process in general as well as management of individual staff members.

The Interview Guide is extremely valuable as it can provide a quick check of ‘suitability for the role’, as well as providing tough interview questions specifically designed to elicit responses which will challenge your candidates (because the questions are based on their strengths and weaknesses).  We have also had positive responses from candidates themselves who see the Harrison Assessments as portraying a very positive and professional image which can help sell your company to them as well." - Michael Claydon, Managing Director, National Corporate Group

Benchmarked against thousands of samples of high performers in numerous roles, HA has a strong research basis and a practical bent. It is unique and it is the best single tool of its type that we have seen - that's why we're proud to be HA consultants.
