Situation/Scope

The client recognized that in achieving its vision- its people are its most important assets. To achieve the same-they had been regularly putting its junior- middle level talent pool through a full day development centre experience before they take on critical leadership roles. The requirement was that SHRM reviews the existing competency framework for comprehensiveness and usage in the assessment centre and take ~ 78 candidates to go through a development centre. The mandate was that candidates needed to be provided with an immersive assessment experience.

SHRM Approach

• Create feedback reports for participants highlighting the strengths and development areas 
• Create a group assessment performance report for each role after every 40 assessments completed managers

• Created clear individual development plans for all participants in the assessment process Identified clear learning needs for all participants 
• Implemented a clear process to segregate and differentiate talent which could be used as a template by the client
