Psychometrics, Assessment & Development Centres

The Need for Assessment -  Leadership & Team Building

The use of instruments and exercises other than personal judgement are critical to select the right person for the right job. This is true whether we are appointing a new person to the organisation or selecting existing people to fulfil new roles.

What is central to this process is accuracy and precision - can we align the person to the demands and constraints of the position?


Psychometrics : Tool in Team Development & Coaching

We find that psychometrics has a special role in team developing and building a coherent team.  This is especially so when team members work together but spend a great deal of time apart in different geographies and regions.


Increasingly, in today's demanding environment we have to be sure that the individual selected can speedily start delivering bottom line results. Effective selection is critical.

Psychometrics

We can develop instruments ranging from 360 appraisal to team development questionnaires - from motivational audits to using standard aptitude tests. We also use the following standard instruments for team building, personal development, coaching, selection and Out -  Placement.

  • Occupational Profile Questionnaire 
  • Myers Briggs Type Indicator 
  • 16 pf 
  • Firo Series

Assessments/Assessment Centres

How can you ensure that we make the right choice? Depending on the context of the position, we can apply existing or even design specific instruments, exercises and business simulations to enable the right candidates to stand out from those lesser suited to the position.

Development Centres

In times of re-structuring you may want to consider an existing group of staff and provide them with an opportunity to 'self select' their role in the organisation. Development Workshops are so designed as to enable participants to rate themselves against core competencies that are essential for their evolving role within the business. Once they can assess where they are 'currently' they can then commit to those areas that are ripe for personal development for the 'future'.

Out - Placement

Staff taking on this responsibility will be looking for opportunities to excel, and those who are not as keen in the process may highlight their willingness to look elsewhere within their specific area or even outside their current organisation. Whatever the consequences, we can help with Out - Placement advice and support.

Contact Philip Atkinson for more details about how he can support you.  As well as driving major transformational change initiatives Philip is a certified Occupational Psychologist who is licensed to use all personality profiles used within the UK, Europe and the USA.
