Skills Assessment for Leadership and Employee Development
Oftentimes our clients are interested in increasing the skill level of their current talent. In other cases, there is a need to develop skills and bench strength for future jobs (e.g., succession planning) or in order to meet long-term strategic objectives.
Whether selecting or developing a group of managers, it is important to identify their strengths and areas for improvement. We have helped clients in a variety of industries obtain meaningful information about the skill level of their personnel to improve their ability to complete training and succession planning to meet current and future strategic objectives.
Using validated tools and techniques that provide participants with meaningful behavioral feedback, we can help you manage your talent better.
We evaluated a wide range of personnel, including directors, managers, supervisors, internal consultants, call center representatives, and sales people as a precursor to implementing individual, team, and department-wide training and development efforts.
Assessment Centers
Our Assessment Centers (ACs) offer multiple exercises that evaluate an individual’s skills, abilities and personal characteristics in a variety of work-like situations. We use simulations and role plays to evaluate participants on a number of competencies. ACs can be used for leadership development or as part of a pre-employment testing program. To get more detail on the exercises we offer, please click here.
360 Feedback
360 Feedback provides leaders with perspectives on their behavior from direct reports, peers, and their boss. It measures an individual’s skills and abilities on up to 30 competency areas.
