Philadelphia, PA - It took over 25 years for the founders of The Gabriel Institute (TGI) to create a completely new technology that predicts how a person will ‘team’ with others to solve problems or achieve common goals, and now the business benefits are gaining recognition. Preferred Sands, a fast-growing mining company that began using TGI’s technology two years ago, has been announced as the winner of the Constellation ‘Supernova Award’ in the ‘emerging technology category.’ Almost immediately after implementing TGI’s Role Based Assessment (RBA) for hiring and team diagnostics, Preferred Sands saw its turnover rate fall from 30% to zero – where it has remained for over a year.
Improvements in ‘quality of hire’ and employee retention were not the only gains. “The time and costs associated with the hiring process are also reduced. Now, before we invest in face-to-face meetings, we screen for the kind of team-players who are the right fit for the job, for a specific team’s mission, and for our culture,” said Mike O’Neill, Preferred’s CEO. Asked what he would recommend to other firms seeking similar results, he added: “Whether you have hiring quality problems, or team performance problems, or any other people-related issues or challenges, stop paying so much attention to ‘talent,’ and focus on finding the right team-players.”
