 |  |  | |  HR professionals changing to meet the needs of business leaders
Michael Millward, Abeceder Managing Director describes how the role of HR professionals has always been dictated by the needs of business, and examines how as organisations, of all kinds, strive to be more entrepreneurial their role will again have to adapt.
Assessment Centres Assessed
While the use of assessment centres is on the increase (according to a recent CIPD survey, 34% of employers surveyed had used them), the importance of adopting good practices cannot be over-emphasised. Assessment centres aim to provide ‘accurate’ assessments but this can only be achieved through careful and effective design and implementation.
In the third of several articles on competencies, Abeceder Associate Gayna Deacon takes a look at the purpose of assessment centres, as well as the ‘pros’ and ‘cons’ to using assessment centres for selection as part of a wider competency-based recruitment and selection process.
The A-Z of Employment Practice
Michael Millward, Abeceder managing director takes a look at the revised edition of The A-Z of Employment Practice by David Martin and finds a book that delivers straight-forward solutions to complex issues.
Testing Times... Using Psychometrics (A guide for managers)
The term “psychometrics” is becoming more common amongst the HR community and also within recruitment as a whole. However, there is very little common understanding amongst general managers about what exactly psychometrics are, how they can benefit a company and how they should be used. In this article Abeceder associate Jane Addy looks at the whole area of psychometrics, taking in both the frequently asked questions and then looking at how psychometrics can contribute in a wider role outside of pure assessment and selection.
Creativity Role Models
Brain Clegg, author of the book Crash Course in Creativity, explains to Abeceder why what appears to be a model of creativity is actually something quite different.
By using examples from very different organisations he shows that creativity is not driven by a process, but is the result of a mindset.
The European Foundation for Quality Management: What is it? How does it affect business?
Abeceder associate Paul Gaut takes a look at the European Foundation for Quality Management (EFQM) model explaining what it is and how it can benefit any organisation regardless of its size.
