Assessment and Development Centers (ADCs)

Assessment and Development Centers (ADCs) are centers set up by an organization for continuous assessment of the competencies required to perform current, future or higher-level roles. They involve simulation of ‘near to actual’ work situations, observation of individual reactions and identifying strengths and areas that need working upon.

ADCs use Multiple Assessors, Multiples Competencies & Multiple Exercises

Assessment Centers use trained Assessors or Observers normally chosen from within the Organization. They are trained through intensive ‘Assessor Training Workshops’ in ORCE-Observation, Recording, Classifying and Evaluating.

Assessment and Development Centers help organizations move towards a competency-based culture. They are increasingly used to identify top talent or fast trackers and develop leaders/competencies for the future. They provide the organization with valid data for Potential appraisal, Selection, Job Rotation, and Promotions. ADCs have become even more important in current conditions where opportunities for promotion are few and yet many individuals who perform their existing roles well need to be encouraged to see the future in terms of development without obvious promotion.

The Assessment Center (AC) developed by TVRLS for us is being used in our Operators selection process. The tools designed are very beneficial for us to identify the prospective employees who are aligned to our company philosophy and most importantly have the desired competencies.
