Lana has extensive experience with psychometric assessments, working as a Psychometrist and Consultant in various organisations for over 11 years. Lana is an Associate Consultant with Ann Turner & Associates. She works locally in KZN as well as nationally. “I have a keen interest in the ethical use of psychometric assessments within organisations to improve the effectiveness of employees and in turn to make overall improvements to the organisation. I am interested in determining core competencies that are aligned with organisational strategy and carrying those competencies down through the organisation via the recruitment and selection strategy as well as the performance management processes to ensure that the overall strategy of the organisation is implemented by the employees and does not only remain an idea at the executive level.”

In addition, I believe that assessments can assist with building stronger teams if people understand each other better. Most of our time is spent in the work environment and I am strongly of the opinion that people need to be content and happy in their place of work, despite the general stresses that they face daily.

“Love what you do” is a saying that resonates with me. If people enjoy what they do and where they work, they will put in more than expected thus improving productivity and business performance. However, the employer needs to understand their employees and the employees must feel respected and valued.
