Partner Newsletter Q1 2023: What's New for Our Partners, Automotive Industry Focus, Curated Articles & Events

🤝 What’s New for Our Partners, Automotive Industry Focus, Curated Articles & Events

A better candidate experience is at the core of our solutions, and we are committed to making the assessment process easier for your customers. We kicked the year off with the release of our third independent validation study. We remain EEOC/ADA compliant, and the assessment continues to be above the 0.80 standards for reliability. A better candidate experience means keeping up with language customs and user behavior. So, we modernized our behavioral assessment by updating several words from the adjective checklist. We also launched a quicker, easier, 3-part mobile-friendly assessment. Please reach out to your Omnia contact if you have any questions about these new enhancements.

Another exciting highlight has been the release of our second annual Talent Trends Survey Report: Amplify Your Organizational Success. We surveyed 380 companies from ten different industries to explore talent management issues impacted by the rising inflation and recessionary climate. The report provides insights to help you develop a resilient talent strategy in 2023 and beyond. Download your copy if you haven’t already, and we encourage you to share it with your customers as well.

We have been hosting in-house webinars and speaking at various partner community events. We judged the top intercollegiate sales competition Selling with the Bulls, presented at the Insurance Networks Alliance (INA) Conference on Mastering the Art and Science of Identifying Top Talent, and ran a session for insurance industry coaching and consulting specialist Craig Wiggins.

Besides the insurance, banking, and credit union industries, we have been actively involved in the automotive industry — which is rapidly changing, with consumers increasingly going online and considering EV adoption options. Ultimately, the emerging business models in the automotive sector have implications on talent requirements, and Omnia is helping partners stay effective with talent acquisition and development aspects.

In this issue, we are spotlighting our long-time partner Jim Ziegler, who is the authority in the automotive space. We hope you enjoy learning about him and his business.

See you on June 1st!

Curated Articles Just for You

We’ve curated a list of articles you can share with clients. We also write content for partner publications. If you’re interested in unique content, please contact Naomi.

1. Two Ways to Make the Most of Your Credit Union Talent: How can you draw out your employees’ underappreciated abilities and, in so doing, create a win-win for the credit union and its team? Learn how assessments can help you find and use your employees’ innate talents.

2. Leveraging Talent Within: It can cost up to six times as much to hire externally rather than build talent from within an organization. Also, a study found that internal hires outperform external hires during the first two years of a promotion. Find out how to formalize your internal mobility program.

3. Looking for Ways to Retain Your Team?: Employee retention is at the top of all business leaders’ minds. And the core of all retention programs is setting your people up for success. Take a look at six retention and development strategies leaders are focusing on this year.
