1. SQI System Introduction

SQI SystemTM provides an assessment of the suitability of a person—the probability that he/she will succeed in a particular position if he/she is eligible for that position. Thus, it is still vital that eligibility is also assessed. That is, both eligibility and suitability must be assessed in order to hire, promote and retain employees who will perform effectively.

The Success Quotient Intelligence (SQI) System is a diagnostic and prescriptive tool to draw out the best in an individual such that the individual can experience his/her best to achieve top-level performance.

Five areas that SQI System provides detailed diagnosis & prescriptions:
 
1. Hiring Management: recruitments & selections of new hires; retain / redeploy existing staff; setting benchmarks
for future hiring decisions & actions
2. Talent Development: personal SWOT awareness, counseling for mind-set developments and mentoring for job specific competency developments; setting benchmarks for future development decisions & actions
3. Succession Planning: retain & grow top performers; coaching; mentoring & development benchmarking for future succession strategies
4. High Performing Teams: learning & growth developments, bonding strategy developments and benchmarking
5. Culture & Values: Leadership developments, effectiveness & influence, people management and organization developments benchmarking
 
 
SQI System measures 58 suitability factors relating to six major areas:
 
1. Beliefs Inventory
2. Emotions Inventory
3. Behavioral Tendencies
4. Task Preferences
5. Work Environment Preferences
6. Role & work personality fit
 
A person who is suitable for a position tends to choose to perform the different tasks that are required; is very interested
in the work areas; has a high tolerance for the type of work environment; comfortable with the type of interpersonal interactions and decision-making required for the position; and have much less unsuitable traits that could hinder his/her productivity. In order to accurately assess suitability, a thorough analysis of the position is necessary. The following questions should be asked:
 
What types of tasks need to be done?
What types of work environment does the person need to work in?
What types of interpersonal interactions are required?
What type of decision-making is required?
What types of traits should be avoided for the position?
 
These should be thoroughly reflected upon and listed. Requirements should be placed in order of importance. This process creates the basic ingredients for a job template that can be used to compare a person to requirements. By using a comprehensive analysis of a position and the SQI System questionnaire completed by a person, employers can gain insight into the suitability of the person for the position. They can also use an employee’s SQI System profile to encourage his/her personal development. They can likewise analyze it to understand an employee’s work preferences so that they may adjust his/her responsibilities in such a way that he/she is more likely to enjoy the work. However, it is NOT recommended that they use profiles for disciplinary procedures or for making decisions on possible employee termination. This is so because
it is a tool to assist decision-making in hiring management and development NOT for employee termination.
