Emotional Intelligence in the Workplace
Is emotional intelligence (EI) an integral part of your recruitment strategy? If not, it should be!
Emotions influence our behavior, performance, and decision-making. When determining success in work and life, research shows that emotional intelligence is more important than intellect, experience, and background.
We also know that employees are 400% less likely to leave their jobs if their manager has a high EI.
With the Genos Selection Assessment, you can prioritize emotional intelligence in the workplace by including it in your recruiting and retention strategies.
What is the Genos Selection Assessment?
The Genos Selection Assessment is a validated emotional intelligence selection instrument. In other words, it’s a tool that helps you understand a candidate’s EI.
The Genos Selection model includes seven measurable and observable emotional intelligence competencies, including:
- Self-awareness
- Awareness of others
- Emotional expression
- Emotional reasoning
- Self-management
- Management of others
- Self-control
The model captures workplace skills and behaviors that manifest from emotional intelligence abilities. When combined with other selection best practices and processes, the Genos Selection Assessment adds another critical dimension of information to the hiring process.
