Ramsay Corporation is a privately held human resources company that was established
by (Roland) Tom Ramsay in May of 1973. We have served over 4,000 clients, including one-third
of Fortune 100 companies. We have provided consulting services in these major human
resources areas:
Selection
Our selection projects have included content- and criterion-related validation studies
of tests, interviews, and in-basket exercises. One area of specialty is the staffing
of new or high-technology facilities. We have conducted information sessions at
the Board of Directors level concerning the cost benefit and value of selection
programs. We have successfully defended our selection procedures in all labor proceedings
and litigation.
Training
We have specialized in two areas - training of interviewers and counselors in interviewing
and counseling skills and training test administrators and managers in test administration
and use. Such training activities have been conducted in manufacturing organizations,
hospitals, and non-profit organizations. Included in our services are test scanning
or scoring services.
Compensation
Our compensation projects have involved development of compensation systems through
job analysis and application of evaluation principles. Nearly one-half of our tests
are developed for use in pay-for-knowledge or pay-for-skills programs.
Assessment
We have developed diagnostic and selection tests and performance assignments for
operators, technicians, and maintenance groups. Our assessments have included
attitudes, knowledge, management skills, and team membership qualities. We
have measured basic skills for entire staffs of manufacturing facilities.
Expert Testimony
Ramsay Corporation has provided consulting expertise in legal and quasi-legal settings
in more than 30 instances, serving both plaintiffs and defendants. In one instance
our assistance helped a client company receive more than $60,000 in attorneys' and
witness fees paid by plaintiffs (EEOC & Helen Sierra v. Datapoint Corporation).
We have supplied consultation and expert witness services in many human resources
areas.
Program Implementation
In program implementation we have written manuals, designed training modules, devised
policies, and instituted procedures and controls for new programs or developments.
We have conducted programs to ensure quality and competency in delivery of services
and products.
