About AIMHIRE® Tools
The SuperStar Employee, Team Building and Training Program

AIMHIRE® is a Turn-Key internet based program that will help you to be very effective in selecting SuperStar employees. A SuperStar has the natural ability to do the job that you are hiring them for. You want to hire a SuperStar because you know from experience that your business will function more smoothly and employee productivity will be much higher if you hire the right person for the job.

“There is no question that employee turnover costs a lot of money and the cost of employee turnover is, in general, a lot higher than most people think it is.” — Ron Wilkinson, Founder of AIMHIRE®

AIMHIRE® will help you to control and to dramatically reduce your turnover expense. Nobody benefits by the costs of turnover. It is money that is completely wasted. Obviously, you cannot hope to completely eliminate employee turnover... Employees will change jobs. But you can pragmatically reduce needless employee turnover.

Although a great deal of study, evaluation, and planing has gone into creating and understanding the AIMHIRE program, For you the business owner, It can be as simple as red, yellow, green and blue. You can simply compare colors on a graph, and leave the details to the experts.

You will want to begin by creating a separate profile for every position in your company. Every position is different and every profile will be somewhat different. You'll need to thoughtfully consider what is really important in a job position and what basic skills do the candidates need to have? Validate this information by comparing it with the current SuperStars who are working that job position. Keep in mind that this is the real key to success with the AIMHIRE® Employee Selection System: You can validate the accuracy immediately by comparing the results with the "scores" of your current employees who you know are SuperStars.

Focus On SuperStars!

If you hire the correct person in the first place it solves a lot of other problems. You need to prepare yourself to hire a SuperStar employee for each position. You need to study and learn the procedures so that you will be knowledgeable about the process. "The better you are, the easier it will be to hire a SuperStar." Many times a manager is more interested in hiring someone who will be a good "follower" instead of a SuperStar performer who is a good "leader." While this strategy may appear to solve a short-term problem it will hinder the long-term growth of your company. Stretch yourself and hire the very best employees. Focus on SuperStars.

Higher Performance by SuperStars

We've studied high-performance SuperStars for the last 25 years. We know what job knowledge, work skills, abilities, and work habits that they possess. We know all about the SuperStar. We understand what it is that enables them to perform at such high levels. We are using this information to help you identify and select a SuperStar from the applicants who are applying for work at your business.

One of the reasons that we can identify high-performance SuperStars is that we have learned how to determine if they have the right aptitude.

How can you determine if the employee has the right aptitude for the job? Aptitude is a natural ability to do the job. Because you naturally enjoy doing the job, you perform from your strengths and when you perform the job you receive a high level of satisfaction.

The job comes easily to those with the right aptitude. They learn very quickly. If you catch on quickly to something, you're likely to be very good at it. If you have the right aptitude, everything comes naturally. You will perform a task or activity without any conscious awareness of the steps involved in the activity. You do an excellent job. Everything happens like clockwork. You perform unconsciously, relying on your strengths. You excel beyond your expectations. The correct aptitude is the ultimate indication of a strength. Positive experiences will build your self-esteem and shape your confidence in yourself and in your job.

Employees need to have the right aptitude to do a particular job. They will then complete the tasks involved subconsciously, without thinking about them. They will be very good at what they do. They are SuperStars.

Team Building and Training

There are very few solo heroes out there. Most of what we accomplish in life is done through teams and the help of others. That makes the function of team building and communicating vital to our success. No matter what your objective is —financial betterment, family solidarity, professional success—you will need to work through others to achieve your goals.

And yet we are not all equally skilled at organizing people for action. Selecting the right kinds of team players, EMPOWERING them, and working with them in the context of training, sharing, communicating, delegating, rewarding-all of these are functions that require focused attention and practical experience if they are to be done well.

This Action Guide gives you some practical advice for team building based on characteristics typing and characteristic preference. This approach is currently very popular in corporate America, where putting together the rights kinds of management and leadership teams is utterly indispensable to business success. In corporate America, the initial analysis of characteristic among the top players is typically accomplished through evaluations like the AIMHIRE® Management-Style Profile and the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (using the psychological approach) or the Herrmann Brain Dominance Instrument (using the neuro-physiological approach). And there are any number of other characteristic evaluations that are in service in personnel departments.

The rationale behind these tests is to determine what an individual's preferred style of management is when it comes to learning, making decisions, planning, solving problems, relating to others, dealing with stress, and so on. Knowing this preferred style of management ahead of time may is a key ingredient in the process of building teams.

Putting people into teams

For the individual player, understanding one's preferred style of management is vital tosuccess. The reason for this is threefold:

• First, it is important to understand that it is okay to have a preferred characteristic style, and that these preferences are more or less innate and to some extent unchanging, and therefore constitute a unique personal-'edge!' that can be capitalized on.

• Second, by knowing what these basic preferences are, the individual can learn to become more effective in other styles of operation that are important to a given task, plus the individual can choose partners and helpers who are strong in areas that they may be weak in.

• Third, by viewing projects and missions in the framework of characteristic preference, the individual will better understand that all four major styles of personality are needed in each and every undertaking of life. Thus a person can take steps from the very beginning to make sure all points of the characteristic compass, and all of the activity functions relating thereto, will be part of the master plan.

Those of you who are accustomed to characteristic preference theory are very likely able to detect in others these kinds of preferences. If you have completed our AIMHIRE® Management-Style Profile, you will already know how to look for certain clues that relate to the four major functional preference categories. To make matters more memorable and fun, each of these four categories or styles is assigned its own color.

Here is a summary of the four color-styles, with a set of key words that describe in general terms the orientation of each style. As you review this summary, keep in mind that every individual is a mixture of all four styles, but with accents, usually in the form of one dominant color and one sub-dominant color.

• BLUE — VISIONARY

Creativity, long-range planning and strategies, "big picture" clarity, future orientation, imagination, feelings, independence, concepts and ideas, innovative solutions. A dreamer.

• GREEN— SCORE KEEPER

Detail orientation, systems, measurements, precision, security, objectivity, accountability, facts, traditions, control. A bean counter.

• YELLOW — TEAM BUILDER

People orientation, team work, sensitivity, understanding, intuition, interpersonal skills, fun, coordination, empathy, diplomacy. A motivator.

• RED — GO GETTER

Take charge, results oriented, problem solving, practical, impulsive, leadership, confidence, overcoming barriers and challenges, marketer-type, operates in a present orientation. Get's the job done now. A doer.

A guide to keeping your employees happy and helpful

Your most important resource is not the materials you use to make your products, but the people who make everything possible. Your employees are the greatest asset you have. Sometimes employers forget that. They forget to take proper care of employees and the employees end up spoiling or going sour just like milk left out of the refrigerator. Employers need to remember to take proper care of employees to prevent them from going bad. Included in this material are some suggestions of things you can do to make employees feel important, useful, and rewarded. Monetary rewards are only part of it. Most employee compensation can be accomplished with a positive attitude towards employees. While raises are necessary and important, money alone will not keep employees satisfied. Your goal is to discover ways that you can meet the underlying needs of your employees.

You should establish a generous compensation program for employees so you can keep them fresh and happy. Set up a program for yourself so that you remember to treat them right. Using the Training Evaluation Chart as a guide will help you establish a performance-based compensation plan.

Give employees goals to work for. Then, reward them when they achieve those goals. Keeping employees fresh and happy should be one of your foremost concerns.

Employees pay attention to what's happening in your company in direct proportion to it's value to them!
