Assessment of employees’ competencies is one of the first steps in an individual development journey within the company – an opportunity to get an overview of their level of competencies, and to set development-related goals for each employee.

Our aim during the assessment process is to:

  • Identify the main strengths and areas for development for each participant/for the group of assessed people
  • Help participants to create clear individual action plans.
  • Help company create development plans on a group/company level

Prior to conducting the assessment center, we help our client to:

  • Create a career path for employees within the company, click here for more information;
  • Define the goals of the assessment center;
  • Define competencies to be assessed;
  • Effectively communicate the goals and other relevant information to their employees.

After the assessment center is conducted, we are able to provide:

  • Coaching feedback to each participant with the aim to understand results and draft an action plan.
  • Ideas and resources for development specific competencies on a group or individual level, click here for more information.

ASSESSMENT CENTRES AS PART OF CANDIDATE SELECTION PROCESS

In order to support clients to make decisions regarding hiring easily, as well to enhance their candidate selection process, we often suggest organizing assessment centers as part of the selection process for various positions.

Assessment centers provide a good opportunity to get an insight into how much the candidate really fits into organizational culture, but they also give the opportunity to candidates to experience that organization and to assess by themselves whether they would be a good fit into such surroundings. With the help of a well-organized assessment center, we can make a better prediction of future performance and progress than if we only use interviews.
