Assessment and Development

Organisations often fail to recognise or understand their staff’s' motivations, strengths, weaknesses capability and potential. The consequence of this is that key staff may feel undervalued, demotivated and ultimately leave the organisation without you ever understanding why?

To help organisations understand their talent pool we help them assess and validate their people’s potential, motivation, strengths, and development needs against either their own standards of competence or external benchmarks.

The Benefits of our Assessment and Development Process

We can help you to:

  • Determine who your high potentials are. 
  • Select the right candidates for promotion or recruitment.
  • Provide structured development to accelerate their learning and performance.
  • Benchmark the performance of your staff against others.
  • Increase the self awareness of your staff and the impact that they have on others.
  • Identify specific issues within teams.
  • Ensure you maximise the business benefit from the time and money that you invest.

Our Assessment and Development Process

Our process consists of a mix of assessment techniques, that are put together to suit the needs of the organisation and your people.  Typically we run the assessments during a 1 day workshop or '‘development centre' and give the participants and their managers feedback shortly afterwards’. This allows them to jointly draw up a personal development plan to help them to achieve their performance potential.

Some of the techniques we use prior to or during the assessment workshop are:
  • Profiling instruments such as Myers Briggs, 16PF, ECI 360, OPQ 32, TMSi, Scheins Career Anchors, DISCUS and Thomas International.
  • Attainment tests such as: Watson Glaser Critical Thinking, and GMA or SHL Verbal, Abstract and Numerical reasoning.
  • Our own bespoke assessment techniques such as: business scenario case studies, leadership and group activities, creative problem solving activities.
  • Feedback questionnaires and climate surveys.
