If your company is like most organizations, you have invested in quality training and development resources, yet may not be receiving the full benefit from your investment. The problem may lie, not in the training itself, but in transferring the specific needs of individual employees to real job performance.

To ensure success, performance management programs must accomplish three key tasks:

1. Accurately diagnose the performance needs of each employee
2. Prescribe development opportunities that target employees’ individual performance needs
3. Provide a comprehensive plan for skills development and improved performance
   

Career Prescription's innovative approach automates these tasks, helping you achieve accelerated performance results and maximizing your return on investment.

How does CareeR_x differ from traditional performance management programs? A few key distinctions are listed below.

Traditional Performance Management
Uses a one-size-fits-all approach   Is based on self-report or peer evaluations   Requires investment in new training and development resources   Separates learning from working	Takes an individual approach   Is based on an accurate, objective assessment of job skills   Maximizes existing training and development resources   Provides timely learning at employees' fingertips

CareeR_x personalizes performance management.  Not every individual needs the same development activities at the same time or in the same sequence. CareeR_x ensures that each employee focuses on developing the skills he or she needs to maximize performance and to succeed on the job.

CareeR_x is based on a proven assessment of job skills.  Unlike programs based on peer evaluations or self-surveys, CareeR_x provides an objective, validated assessment of job skills directly related to success on the job. CareeR_x accurately diagnoses each employee's performance needs and provides specific performance solutions.

CareeR_x links to existing training and development resources.  CareeR_x links performance to training by organizing existing resources into a matrix of learning opportunities. CareeR_x helps you tailor learning to the unique needs of each employee. Instead of buying more training, CareeR_x maximizes your existing training.

CareeR_x helps employees learn while they work.  Traditional training separates learning from working. CareeR_x recognizes that real differences in performance are acquired on the job while working. The CareeR_x software includes learning activities employees can do on the job that will improve their performance and ensure their continued success.
