What can assessments do? They can diagnose performance problems and evaluate the effectiveness of solutions, such as training. For example, a team is having problems meeting deadlines and the quality of its work is poor. The company administered a pretest for teamwork to determine whether examinees knew how to behave in different teamwork situations. The test verified that the team members knew how to be good team members. As a result, the company was able to focus its resources on why the team members were not motivated to exhibit good team member behaviors on the job.
