Companies must constantly compete to find and keep the most qualified people to maintain an effective workforce. For most organizations, winning that competition can mean the difference between strategic success and average performance. PDRI has a history of successfully helping clients recruit and retain employees that contribute to the achievement of organizational goals.

We accomplish this by:

• Examining business and leadership practices that lead to recruiter productivity, and providing organizational design recommendations based on those findings.

• Identifying the characteristics of high performing recruiters and developing valid predictors to screen and select among candidates for those positions.

• Understanding the causes of attrition and recommending tools and interventions to overcome them, reducing turnover and increasing retention.

• Studying job satisfaction, motivation, and morale, and developing objective measures to assess them. This enables us to recommended changes in policies and procedures that result in more effective organizational functioning.

• Designing employee surveys for understanding the attitudes, opinions, and beliefs of people in the organization. Using advanced sampling, survey design, and data analytic techniques, PDRI ensures that survey results are reliable, valid, and relevant.
