Here's how we're hoping to use the BEST in workplace situations:  

To collect baseline data and measure progress if a) length of course of
instruction warrants such and b) if state AE funds are being used to pay
for services (contact hours are important to formula funding)

For the employer and employees, however, we advocate using multiple
alternative assessments that can measure changes in work-related
performance and behavior.  Sandra Fugate, TN uses one of the same
resources we are using here in Texas;  it contains many examples of
alternative assessments.
