 Dealing with performance issues Abeceder associate Sue Heward explores the reasons for the under-performance of individual employees and describes the process of bringing their performance to that fulfils their full potential.
 Testing Times…Taking Psychometric Tests - a guide for candidates If you are currently applying for managerial or professional roles, then chances are that you’re going to be taking some form of psychometric test. However, there is very little common understanding amongst the general public about what exactly psychometrics are, how they work and where they fit into the general recruitment process. In this article Abeceder associate Jane Addy looks at some of the frequently asked questions about testing and hopefully will put your mind at rest.
 Do you know how much the lower paid section of your workforce really costs you? Business concerns expressed about retaining employees typically centre on specialist skills and key senior jobs; but, asks Abeceder Associate Linda Ryan, what about the lower graded section of the workforce, is this being managed as cost effectively as it could be? Employees at the lower end of the pay scale are key to business profitability, and employment policies designed to retain this group can generate real benefits.
 What is a Probationary Period For? Abeceder managing director Michael Millward, answers a question from an Abeceder® member about probationary periods of employment and how they should be used.

I will describe the model and outline why it is useful to your business and how you can use the model to improve decision making in your business.
