BizTools™

We have been giving free consultation and professional advice to our clients for over 35 years. Deciding not to break with tradition, we are offering our website visitors a FREE consultation in the form of BizTools. These are special evaluation tools that provide information and guidance in a number of human resource management areas.

We cannot meet face-to-face with everyone who registers with us. So we developed these online calculator tools to give you timely answers to some of your questions. We hope that the feedback you receive from these instruments helps you address some of your human resource management challenges.

This is how most of our BizTools work:

  • You provide information in response to certain questions.
  • We use your answers to perform a number of calculations.
  • You receive one or more scores or ratings and an explanation of these.
  • If possible, we offer some suggestions for taking corrective action.

Not sure which BizTool you need?

If you’re not sure which BizTools you should complete first, just use our BizTool Finder to save yourself a little time. This special tool will help you prioritize issues and will tell you which of our free business tools will be of greatest benefit to you right now.

What are your biggest needs, issues, and concerns? This tool will help you find the best BizTools in our toolbox for meeting your current objectives. Keep in mind that you may use this tool as often as you want, especially as we develop more tools and your needs change over time.
