Our Philosophy: Right Fit, Better Performance
Safe Employee in the right job lead to the best performance and highest ROI
Project Management Office Services
- 33% reduction in turnover when employees are properly matched to roles
- 21% increase in productivity with strong person-job fit
- 40% fewer quality defects when employees are engaged
- 59% less absenteeism with high psychological capital
We put employee job fit and well-being at the forefront of our employer services. Studies in organizational psychology show that when a person’s knowledge, skills, abilities, and personality align with their job, they are happier, less stressed, and more committed to their organization.
This strong person–job fit not only boosts individual well-being but also translates into better job performance and lower turnover intentions (employees are less likely to want to leave).
We also recognize the importance of psychological well-being at work. Employees who have high psychological capital – a set of positive psychological resources like hope, efficacy, resilience, and optimism – tend to be more satisfied and engaged in their work, leading to improved organizational outcomes.
