Assessment provides supporting information about an individual’s skills and abilities.

Predictions of the future success of an individual based on multiple sources of evidence gathered by Assessment have the highest statistical validity of any form of evaluation.

Whether used to inform recruitment or succession planning decisions, thorough Assessment is also of great symbolic value, as it confirms to the subject that the company wishes to afford them every opportunity to demonstrate their ability to succeed. Such levels of engagement ensure employees (both current and future) are more committed to their employer and to their own performance and professional development.

Assessment can take a number of forms, including:

• Psychometric testing
• Personality profiling
• Work sampling & simulation
• Case studies
• Burn-Out Barometering, stress screening
• Competency based exercises
• 360 degree appraisals
