Each of LRI's video assessment programs uses employer-validated video simulations to measure an individual's effective soft skills and to determine where additional development of interpersonal skills may be needed.

LRI programs are used to assess a single person or small or large groups. The only limitation on the number of people who can be assessed at one time is that all must be able to see the video.

Demos of two different assessment programs are available on-line; they can be accessed in the left-hand column of this website.

Workforce Readiness Skills (WRS) assesses three groups of interpersonal skills that are required of a wide range of entry-level, typically low-paying first jobs: personal qualities, customer care and listening.

Managerial Skills (SMS) assesses five broad interpersonal skills that employers require of leaders and managers in typically 'white collar' jobs: Team Building; Situational Style of Interaction; Influence; Initiative and Analysis and Problem Solving. (A separate assessment program exists for 'blue collar' positions.)
