What is an Assessment Centre?
When handled correctly, Assessment and Development Centres offer numerous benefits for both employer and employee. By exploring personality, intellectual capability and values, they allow employers to gain a detailed profile of an individual’s existing strengths and development needs.
Assessment Centre Experience
At Cubiks, we have a wealth of experience in designing and conducting Assessment and Development Centres. Whether you are trying to select a person for a role, enhance the skills of a group of high potentials, or accelerate the development of a specific person, we have the expertise and know-how to give you the insights you need.
We provide an assessment service that can deliver a clear and focused overview of an individual’s current ability, development potential and how this can link with an organisation’s business objectives. Our service can be adapted to assess small numbers of candidates for senior management positions or extended to cover the volume assessment of large numbers of staff.
As we are not a test publisher, we are not tied to using assessment tools from just one organisation. We will pick the materials that are most suitable for the client’s particular needs.
Our assessment centre reports summarise the findings from the process, and then synthesize the results to highlight any specific strengths and development needs in a language that is clear and easy to understand.
Assessment Centre Best Practice
It is crucial that any assessment or development
process used today is:
- Reliable, credible, and capable of withstanding close scrutiny
- Defensible, and recognised as being fair by candidates and other stakeholders
- Technically sound, highly robust and importantly, very secure
Cubiks’ occupational psychologists take great care to ensure that the tools and solutions we devise are fully compliant with all relevant employment laws such as disability legislation, equal opportunities measures and data protection legislation.
In all cases, we ensure that we discourage discriminatory practices and abide by all appropriate assessment guidelines.
