Payoff from Assessment Centers: A Corporate View

AFNI’s goal is to develop their entry- and middle-level managers for roles with greater responsibility, and have realized that figuring our where they currently stand is the first step before deciding where they need to go.  They have implemented assessment centres and gained great insights in their staff’s skills and areas needing improvement.  This presentation will outline the process used and demonstrate how their new ability to “develop with focus” improved their managers’ performance.  They will also discuss how they are looking to continue to expand the use of assessment centres within their company, and how they are seen as an integral investment in their workforce.
