Develop Talent and Build Culture With the Power of Birkman
Read how Southwest Electronic Energy Corporation increased average employee tenure to 15 years by using Birkman.
Challenge
In the early years at Southwest Electronic Energy Corporation (SWE), the recruiting process for new hires primarily involved matching resume experience with job responsibilities and the interviewer's connection to a candidate. This recruiting process led to an extremely high turnover rate that was not conducive to the company's healthy culture and long-term growth.
Action
The Chairman and CEO of Southwest Electronic Energy read an article on The Birkman Method and was curious to see how insight from the assessment could transform the hiring process. SWE administered The Birkman to all potential hires before conducting face-to-face interviews. Using the information the assessment offered, a list of personalized questions allowed interviewers to determine a candidate's fit within the organization and their ability to handle stressful situations.
Result
Since implementing Birkman in the organization, SWE benefits from extremely low turnover rates. The longevity of employees averages 15 years. SWE places new hires in roles aligned with their interests, producing motivated employees who engage in its mission, vision, values, and culture. Engaged employees strengthen interpersonal dynamics creating loyalty and greater retention.
