Part of the solution was a combined project to standardise the manufacturing, Quality and PMO teams with a new organisational model to improve the quality and productivity of all employees globally. Alongside Thomas, a persona model was created to evaluate people from the perspective of technical skills and workplace behaviours. Using Thomas assessments, a job profile was created for each of the available roles to indicate which candidates were more suitable for a certain role. Using the PPA was a hugely important part of the project and Magneti Marelli trained approximately 200 people (2% of all personnel) in using the PPA on a technical level. This allowed everyone from HR to line managers and plant managers to use a consistent language when making recruitment and development decisions.
