Every business owner, HR professional, and manager knows the math on turnover. The cost of replacing a single employee, factoring in recruiting, onboarding, training, lost productivity, team disruption, adds up quickly. And yet, most organizations are still making hiring decisions based largely on resumes, gut feel, and a handful of interviews. The result is predictable: mis-hires, early exits, and a constant churn that drains both budget and morale.

That's the problem PXT Select employee retention strategies are built to solve. By measuring how well a person actually fits a specific role before the offer is made, PXT Select helps organizations hire smarter the first time, reduce turnover, improve hiring metrics, and develop people in ways that make them want to stay.

A Smarter Way to Hire and Keep Great People

PXT Select Hiring Assessments help organizations select, hire, evaluate, coach, onboard, and develop their most valuable resource: their employees. Rather than relying on a single dimension like personality or skill, PXT Select for employee retention is a comprehensive, "full person" assessment that measures how well an individual fits specific jobs in an organization by evaluating the qualities required to perform the job successfully.

Cognitive Ability, Behavioral Traits, and Interests.

This is what makes PXT Select one of the most trusted talent assessment tools available. It provides a scientifically validated and legally defensible approach to hire, manage, and retain productive employees with confidence. And unlike many assessments on the market, PXT Select employee retention is validated every year by the U.S. Department of Labor, achieving the highest rankings for assessment validity. For HR professionals who need to defend their hiring decisions, that level of credibility matters.

How Job Fit Drives Better Retention

The core of the PXT Select assessments to reduce turnover and improve hiring is a concept called job fit: the degree of compatibility between an individual's behavioral characteristics and those required for a specific job role. The closer the fit, the more likely an employee is to thrive, stay engaged, and stick around long term.

PXT Select performance models have been built through a combination of the U.S. Department of Labor's ONET database and hundreds of people who have had successful performance in those positions. In practice, this means that by using the PXT Select employee retention program, an organization can evaluate a candidate relative to the qualities required to perform a specific job successfully and uncover potential gaps before they become a turnover statistic.

It's a powerful tool not only for hiring and selection, but also for:

• Lateral moves and internal promotions
• Succession planning
• Onboarding new hires more effectively
• Coaching and skills development across the workforce

This makes PXT Select an end-to-end solution for both reducing turnover, improving hiring and supporting workforce development.

13 Reports That Go Far Beyond Hiring

One of the strongest elements of any PXT Select employee retention strategy is just how much you get from a single assessment. Every PXT Select assessment includes 13 total reports at no additional cost, used for selection and for developing employees to perform to their full potential. Each one also includes a coaching session with a Certified PXT Select Coaching Professional.

The reports fall into three core categories:

• Selection Reports: Including the Comprehensive Selection Report, Leadership Report, Sales Comprehensive Selection Report, Multiple Candidates Report, and Multiple Positions Report. These help organizations make confident, evidence-based hiring choices and even compare candidates side by side.
• Onboarding and Development Reports: Including the Coaching Report, Sales Coaching Report, Manager-Employee Report, and Team Report. These tools support strong onboarding, manager-employee communication, and ongoing team development long after the offer letter is signed.
• Participant Reports: Including the Individual's Feedback Report, Sales Individual's Feedback Report, Individual's Graph, and Performance Model Report. These give employees a clearer view of their own strengths and preferences, supporting growth and career conversations.

The same assessment that helped you hire someone continues delivering value through their entire career with your organization, which is exactly what long-term employee retention strategies require.
