Test Center:

Whether you have a large team or a small one, your products and their applicability continues to evolve over time. And the skills needed for effective sales continues to change. How do you ensure that your team is prepared and able to deal with this effectively? How do you encourage people in your teams to keep themselves abreast of issues and information relating to their jobs? And how do you do this in the context of what your organization needs? The mechanism you probably use is a periodic assessment of employees via expensive questionnaire-driven processes. Questionnaires are a great way of assessing people's interests, attitudes and knowledge, particularly if they can be built based on a growing database of questions specific to your organization. And they can be very cost-effective if you can do that internally, with a software-driven system that helps you record questions, build questionnaires, assign them and track responses. These are the kinds of features large e-learning systems have, though, so that may be too complex or too expensive or most non-tech companies. With Impel, you can now do all this in a simple, integrated manner.

Impel's Test Center includes the following features.

• Build a question-bank of questions in various languages, categories, types and difficulty-levels and assign a score to each question.

• Set up answers for each question in a multiple-choice model, marking the right answer(s).

• Set up a questionnaire that includes multiple sections, each section being filled either manually or automatically.

• Assign a time-frame for the questionnaire to be available and the duration, in number of minutes, that a respondent has to complete the questionnaire in.

• Select a language for the questionnaire, so that it is rendered in the appropriate language for the user when s/he takes it.

• Choose and add questions from the question-bank into the manually-filled sections and identify difficulty levels and categories for auto-filled sections.

• Assign questionnaires to specific users in the organization, identifying whether they need to take the questionnaire themselves or forward it to others who report to them.

• Take a questionnaire and complete your responses online, within the duration defined.

• Report on scores across departments, groups of users, etc.

• Assign permissions to specific users to be able to contribute and manage the question bank, questionnaires, etc.

With this set of features, you have a whole human-resource-assessment mechanism built right into your on-demand solution. That saves you money and makes people more effective than before - the core benefit that Impel provides.
