Our approach
We’ll help you to...
Our assessments will empower
you to transform the performance
of your teams and your individuals
– and deliver an immediate impact
on your organisation.
Spanning the entire employee
lifecycle, from recruiting and
retaining staff, to developing and
managing performance, our
assessments will give you a high
level of certainty in all of your
people decisions.

Why are successful executives
successful? They seek more
feedback on what they need to do
to improve and perform better

Recruit
The right hiring decision can
have a huge impact on the
performance of your team,
function or line of business.
Get it wrong and you’re looking
at a cost of up to 2.5 times the
individual’s salary. And the
disruption to your business and
your teams can be
considerable.

23-Corporate2011
Recruit
Our assessments
will help you:
Identify the candidates
with an ideal fit
Speed up your
recruitment process
Make your selection
decisions clearer
Hire people who will
stay with your company

23-Corporate2011
Retain
With one in four employees
stating they intend to leave
their employer in the next
12 months*, retaining staff is
critical to delivering success
in any organisation.
Get it right and you’re
delivering consistently on your
business targets with a happy,
loyal workforce. Get it wrong
and you’re investing cash in
new recruits, and dealing with
disruption to the business.

Develop
Employers say they need
to focus on leadership and
front-line people
management in order to
meet their business
objectives over the next two
years.*
But with training budgets under
more pressure than ever, how do
you make sure your learning and
development investment counts?

Manage
On average, 80% of
management time is spent
on poor performers*. But
with so little attention
directed at top and good
performers, how do you
ensure you’re investing the
right amount of effort to
get maximum results?

Identifying those with the most
potential to lead and who can learn
something differently requires
a unique measurement – one that
looks at learning agility

GIA – aptitude & ability
GIA measures a person’s
mental horsepower and gives
you a prediction of their
potential to grasp a new role
or respond to training by
answering questions such as:
Can this person think on their feet?
How adaptable is this person to
change?
Can they cope with the mental
demands of the job?
Could this person be a high flyer?
Is this person a problem solver?
To what extent can we develop this
person using training?

strengths and limitations?
Do they modify their behaviour?
How do they react to pressure?
Can this person control their
impulses when under stress?
Do they excel at developing
relationships?
How self-motivated and adaptable
is this person?
TEIQue tells you how well your
people understand their
emotions, react to pressure, and
manage relationships. It will

After introducing Thomas Job
and PPA into our recruitment
process we immediately saw a
better calibre of candidate at
interview and our churn rate
reduced by 50%.
Client testimonial
Bob Taylor
Managing Director
As a result of improved recruitment,
retention and management
practices, we have enjoyed good
company growth and stability. We
are regarded as a good company to
work with and for, and are well
recognised within our industry.

23-Corporate2011
Using Thomas GIA has made a real
difference to the quality of candidate
we recruit. At final interview we are
seeing candidates who have better
communication skills, understand
more quickly and are keen to learn.
Client testimonial
Sarah Benson
UK National Resourcing
Team
Our aim is to recruit candidates who
perform optimally within our
organisation and thus help drive
company profitability. Using GIA has
made a significant contribution to
that goal.

23-Corporate2011
The merger enabled us to
double our size, integration
and cultural transition were
the key words.
Client testimonial
Ed Moss
CEO
We wanted our people to make a
positive contribution to the business
and to do this we needed to bring out
the best in them and maximise their
potential. Thomas’ assessments
helped all staff in the Group to
understand the way they and their
team members worked, increased
their self-esteem and improved their
confidence.

23-Corporate2011
Emotional intelligence makes
the difference between good
and great leaders.
Client testimonial
Linda Watson
Senior Consultant
The key to great leadership is working
with and through people rather than
adopting a directive, finger pointing
style. I use Thomas’ assessments to
get a full picture of the individual’s
work based behavioural preferences
and emotional intelligence. This helps
pinpoint the areas that need attention,
gives the best possible service to our
clients and produces results quickly.

23-Corporate2011
The profiles are invaluable in
supporting the initial coaching
diagnostics and providing after
coaching ‘proof’ that clients have
actually changed.
Client testimonial
Joe McGrath
Management &
Technical Skills
Development
ManagerUsing Thomas' profiling as an opener to a
coaching intervention provides us many
benefits largely due to the profile accuracy
being around 95%. The benefits include
insights for both client and coach on coaching
topics as well as helping to develop the client’s
confidence in the coaching itself. The profiles
are invaluable in supporting the initial coaching
diagnostics and providing after coaching
"proof" that clients have actually changed.

23-Corporate2011
When we introduced Thomas
profiling in 2005 our staff turnover
was 29%, in 2008 it was 7% and we
feel this is a clear indication of the
success of Thomas’ profiling tools.
Client testimonial
Rupert Whitehouse
Senior Manager,
Customer Relations
FedEx Express Europe Inc,
Middle East, Indian
Subcontinent & Africa
Previously our recruitment success was, to
put it mildly, hit and miss...more miss than
hit! Managers used to feel they were the best
interviewers in the world, however it wasn't
until we really understood what made the
candidate tick and understood their profiles
that we were able to make truly informed
decisions on whether candidates would be
suitable for FedEx. I will continue to
recommend Thomas to anyone.

23-Corporate2011
We use Thomas Profiling in many
areas of business. It gives us a
broader picture of potential new
team members, allowing us to
make better recruitment decisions.
Client testimonial
Sue Davies
Head of Human Resources
We benefit by making more informed
decisions about candidate fit to our
business. We have also used Thomas
Profiling in coaching and personal
development and it has given us great
benefits in raising people's self-
awareness, which has improved our
managers' ability to lead teams.

23-Corporate2011
The Thomas tools help our people
to communicate more effectively
both with colleagues and clients…
Client testimonial
Sally Chacatte
Partner
Head of Human Resources
Working with Thomas makes our
recruitment process more robust and
objective but the benefits go far
beyond that. The Thomas tools help
our people to communicate more
effectively both with colleagues and
clients to form an important part of our
development programmes.

23-Corporate2011
We have seen an improvement in
the speed and quality of our people’s
development.
Client testimonial
Philip Youell
Chief Executive
We have used the Thomas Profiling to
assist us with the selection and
development of our senior people for
more than five years. In that time we have
seen an improvement in the speed and
quality of our people’s development.

23-Corporate2011
A very valuable product...
over the past year especially.
Client testimonial
Sarah Carter
Divisional Head
Thomas International PPA has
proved a very valuable product to
Austin Benn over the past year
especially, with proactive and
comprehensive advice and
guidance always at hand.

23-Corporate2011
Our experience using Thomas
Profiling is that they are vital tools for
supporting these processes.
The results are consistent…
Client testimonial
Chris Thorne
Commercial Director
Recruitment and staff development has always
been part art, part science. The instincts of the
interviewer or manager will always play a vital
part in decision making. Our experience using
Thomas Profiling is that they are vital tools for
supporting these processes. The results are
consistent and most often reassure us we have
assessed a candidate correctly. They help
equally with planned staff reviews and often
provide insight into issues that may otherwise
remain undiscovered and unresolved.
