Assessment Centres: Identifying Leaders
A well designed Assessment Centre is the most effective tool available observing and systematically measuring how people actually perform in the context of the actual job role that they are being considered for. Human Factors Assessment Centres represent a rigorous approach to selection or development of executives and managers in an organisation.
Participants are immersed in a highly interactive and intensive work simulation that will test all aspects of their abilities, work styles and capabilities including group decision making and problem solving, presentations, interviews, in-box simulations and case studies. Whether you choose pre-written Assessment Centres or have us tailor make a centre specifically with your organisation or business sector in mind, our consultants are available to offer any advice or assistance that you may require.
