...1) When should employers reassess the assessment methods they use in hiring? Assessment methods should be reevaluated if organizations desired goals and expected outcomes of hires are not achieved. Business and staffing strategies will differ and may require multiple methods of assessing to accomplish staffing objectives. Methods provide effective and/or efficient means to identify applicants/candidates ability to be a successful hire. Factors employers should consider in determining if assessment methods may require evaluation; • High employee turnover rates • Poor performance related to new hires • Low applicant rates • Declines in organizational productivity • Screening of applicants effectively • Identification of competencies requirements (Person-job fit) • Identify development needs and/or capacity to obtain knowledge • Organization and cultural fit (Person-organizational fit) • Talent and HR philosophy alignment to business strategy • Other attributes; personality, attitude, motivations, teamwork and interests (Person–group fit) and (Person-vocation fit) • Validity/reliability and accuracy of method to achieve staffing goals • Minimize adverse impact, ethical and legal concerns • Maximize ROI/costs of hiring • Candidates reaction (fair, consistent and objective) Source: Strategic Staffing 2nd edition – Phillips and Gully.

...Assessment Centre > Introduction | Assessment Centre has a variety of definitions and these are based on its methodology of assessing a candidate’s performance and aptitude. Trained Assessors observe a group of candidates performing a variety of aptitude diagnostic procedures which provide specific information on the abilities and developmental capacity of each applicant. An Assessment Centre is actually a process applicants take part in and is not specific to any one location. Its popularity is also evident in staff growth plans where it is usually known as a Development Centre. These procedures are designed to ensure employee investment is maximised for both the organisation and the individual. Whilst the general process is very similar to Assessment Centres the subtle difference is that at a Development Centre you will be given feedback immediately and work with the assessor to agree a future plan. Many organisations use the expertise of an HR consultant to design the exercises to meet their specific role requirements and then to conduct the actual testing and assessment of candidates. These services come with a significant cost and that is why you will increasing face testing through an Assessment Centre as you apply for higher-level strategic and technical roles. The length of an Assessment Centre will vary from half-a-day to two full days and may be held on the employer’s premises, often within their own training facilities or on the premises of the organisations Human...

...Opinions, good instincts, and creative thinking are not enough when it comes to brand analysis. Brand analysis involves sizing up a business situation and deciding on a strategy. Two major concerns of brand analysis are the industry and the existing competitive conditions. These assessments are necessary essentials of brand analysis. They ensure the availability of long-term direction, establishing appropriate objectives, and essentially crating an effective strategy. Brand analysis includes knowing what a specific industry’s dominant economic features are. Also, brand analysis examines what existing industry competition is like and how strong each of the industry’s competitive forces is. Effective brand analysis is achieved through an analytical sequence of strategic appraisals of a business’ external and internal environment, to establish issues, evaluate alternatives, and create a strategy. If these crucial assessments are not executed, a business may find that the brand it developed does not fit well with the environment of its intended industry and will not be capable of establishing and maintaining a competitive advantage for the business. Brand analysis requires a strategic evaluation of a business’ ecosystem. Any decisions should be based on sound analysis of a business’ external and internal structure. In order to successfully establish a business’ brand, an evaluation of dominant economic features in an industry must be carried out. Industry, in this...

...Assessment 1: Discuss the ways strategic human resource management (SHRM) could contribute to organisational performance in the next five years. Human resource management (HRM) is the function within an organisation that focuses on its most valued asset – its personnel. HRM is one of the most important functions in any business and is detrimental to the company’s overall success. It has taken quite a while for HRM to be adopted into the business strategy as organisations were unwilling to accept or change their ways. Their focus was on economic growth for the company. However researchers such as Hezberg, Maslow and Lewin revealed that employee performance was influenced by their social and emotional needs and their desire for interesting work. This is when the shift began for companies to not only focus on economic growth, but to satisfy the needs of their employees in order to improve performance and productivity which will bring greater success to the company. Human resource management has a number of key policy areas including recruitment and selection, job analysis and design, workforce planning, performance management, training and development and career planning. It is through these policies that we can understand the concept of strategic human resource management (SHRM). SHRM explicitly links these policies, practices and systems to enable the achievements of an organisations strategy and goals. In my understanding, SHRM represents an attempt to methodically manage...
