Assessment and Development Center

Competency, aptitude management, succession, individual development! These are concepts that have found increasing acceptance. However, their realization seems difficult and requires a proper and realistic understanding of the status quo of the organization’s manpower. 

How can one reach to such an understanding? If it is necessary, the special characteristics of individuals and groups active in the organization should be analyzed and assessed. However, how do we go about this task so that it does not take on the aspect of interrogation and criticism?  Or does not lead to the organization’s human resources becoming concerned about lay off? Or on the other hand, assessments do not roll back to the emptiness of a few superficial tests of psychology and personality recognition? 

The answer is “Assessment and Development Center.” In these centers behavioral simulation is used for recognition of the individual’s actual characteristics and potential capabilities in this manner that volunteers are observed both as individuals as well as in group and as a member of a group. Their conspicuous behavioral traits in the general, specialized and occupational spheres are compared with the benchmark and superior indicator.

“Recognizing’ individual capacities and “acknowledgement” of strengths and improvability characteristics is a big preliminary step. This recognition takes place at the “assessment” stage and corresponding to it the most optimal programs and teachings with a high probability of success can be supplemented with it.

Implementation of assessment center in simple language

The assessment center is a short experimental course. It is a one to three-day program in the course of which 4, 6, 8 or 10-person groups of volunteers (managers, employees, recruitment registrants or eligible applicants) is organized. Individuals and these groups are exposed to various methods and tools of assessment. On the basis of the individual’s performance in different parts of this program, a report is compiled concerning the merits, strengths, psychological characteristics and requirements of successful performance.

The assessment center’s experience in the organization’s environment

We have created an environment in which there is sufficient and equitable opportunity for actualization and manifestation of capabilities and talents of individuals.

Our specialists in the assessment and development center have initially described the assessed merits and behavioral instances and have chosen various types of tools appropriate for assessment. These instances are then observed and assessed in individuals by making use of behavioral simulation and designing diverse tools (primary and secondary). A secure assessment atmosphere has been designed for volunteers and actual conditions have been prepared. Moreover, efforts are made to implement the center in the form of a pleasant, cordial and informative experience for volunteers and applicants.  “Judgment” is a rational tool of the assessment center that ought to be undertaken professionally and be removed from bias and partiality. Thus, throughout the center’s implementation process, our independent and professional assessors assess the individual according to calibrated standards and tools. The result of all these efforts is reliable, analytical, unbiased and explicit reports about the individual’s characteristics, capabilities and psychological conditions – that are prepared in interaction with the individual and by taking into consideration his wants. This report determines his roadmap to growth, individual development as well as his professional and managerial progress.  It needs to be explained that the path to his individual development and merits are in line with inherent characteristics including personality traits, motives, interests, values and individual perceptions.
