Dr. Booth provides expert witness testimony in cases involving testing and discrimination. The tests which the BOOTH RESEARCH GROUP develop and administer have rarely been challenged in court. As a matter of fact, we pride ourselves on the fact that we often come into very hostile and litigious environments such as organizations with long histories of test challenges, and yet it is extremely rare for any of our tests to be challenged.
Nevertheless, Dr. Booth has provided expert witness testimony for numerous clients across the United States. He is a noted expert in the areas of recruitment, personnel selection, promotional testing, adverse impact, and discrimination against protected classes.
If your organization faces litigation in these matters, we can offer advice, counsel, and expert witness testimony to win your case.
Employee Development
The assessment center is a remarkable tool, not only for employee selection but also for employee development. We offer a number of different plans, and like all of our work, these plans are custom designed to fit our clients’ needs.
The most basic plan involves administering a custom designed assessment center to your employees. Each employee is confronted with a series of problems in realistic settings which allow insights into the employee’s abilities in areas such as Problem Solving, Interpersonal Skills, Customer Service Approaches, Decision Making, and many others.
Once the process is completed and the information is analyzed, a psychologist from our firm meets with the individual employees and discusses their strengths and weaknesses. We provide information on how the employee can improve in the areas of weakness while maintaining and enhancing their strengths. We reinforce the mission and direction of the organization, and assist the employees in realizing ways in which they can contribute.
Our more advanced plan involves the development and administration of a diagnostic assessment center as noted above. We then develop individualized employee development programs based upon the employees’ strengths and weaknesses. We monitor these programs over a specific time frame. At the end of this period, we bring all of the individuals through a final assessment center to gauge their improvements.
Finally, we offer presentations on Decision Making, Strategic Planning, Performance Evaluation System Development, and Testing. Regardless of whether your organization wants to develop its first line supervisors or its higher level executives, our custom designed training plans will assist you in that endeavor.
At the BOOTH RESEARCH GROUP we strive to provide the highest professional consulting to address individual client needs. At times, our clients have needs for certain types of consulting which we do not provide. We do, however, have several close associates who can often provide the type of consulting which is being sought. As such, we have provided links to these other consultant web sites.
We should note that we have worked with these other consultants and know that they bring the same values as our firm to their work. They have consistently provided excellent value for the investment, and we encourage you to speak with them.
