Whether conducting a job analysis, a psychometric evaluation of a survey, or analyzing survey results, Dr. Kuehler enjoys not only sifting through data, but also working with people to obtain and interpret the key data points that drive positive change. Since serving as a teaching assistant for a graduate level statistics course, Dr. Kuehler has used his statistical know-how to explain complex analyses and results in an easy to understand manner. He keeps his statistical edge by tutoring statistics students of various levels from entry-level through doctoral students.

Dr. Kuehler has designed various employee surveys including employee engagement, 360° assessment, and training needs assessment.

The design, administration, and interpretation of quantitative psychological evaluations, known as psychometrics’, is a strong suit for Dr. Kuehler.

Not only a “numbers guy”, Dr. Kuehler has a creative side as well. He has designed day-to-day employee recognition platforms and enjoys creating interactive dashboards that visually display the data. When creating a product or data visualization, he seeks to create ‘aha’ moments with end users and ultimately put the data in their hands, enabling data-driven decisions.
