Summary "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 is currently the only South African book on the market in this area. 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 in South Africa; " assessment Centre Policy; " AC case studies and the ethical implications; " the Assessment Centre Design Model; " why an AC needs to be grounded in a thorough job analysis; " the intricacies of simulation and centre development; " the importance of trialling simulations and piloting an AC; " the importance of confidentiality and the safe storage of material; and " an international perspective on current practices and future challenges around assessment centres. WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT THIS BOOK Assessment Centres: Unlocking Potential for Growth is an essential resource for those studying, developing, and implementing assessment centres, both in the South African context and beyond. --Deborah E. Rupp, Professor of Industrial/Organizational Psychology, George Mason University I have rarely held such a comprehensive, differentiated, and useful book on assessment centres in my hands - I am convinced it is a great choice for every reader."--Publisher's description
