About this title

Synopsis

While technology is enhancing every aspect of an Assessment Centre (AC), it remains a real art and skill to design and implement an AC. Assessment Centres: Unlocking People Potential for Growth is a complete 'how to' book that focuses on practical execution. In addition, it includes numerous case studies as examples of the principles discussed. It unpacks the adapted AC Design Model and, in addition, addresses topical issues around ACs, including:

- the different purposes that ACs are used for;

- what AC practitioners should consider when using ACs;

- why strategic positioning of an AC is important;

- the business case for ACs in organisations;

- the Code of Ethics for ACs;

- assessment Centre Policy;
