What looks good to you, doesn’t look good to me – and I’m objective
Assessment is great when it works well. The strength of good assessment comes from the fact that it is objective. The only time we really compromise on an assessment process is when we introduce humans into the mix – unfortunately we all do and we have no other alternative but to have one of us give a candidate an ‘objective’ (as possible) a rating.
So how do we address the inability of humans to be objective and for them to put aside their physiological or psychological moods? The truth is, we simply can’t. However, what we can do is minimise the risk of this subjectivity by giving our assessors some training. This training helps to make assessors aware of potential subjectivity pitfalls, provides them with a process and a platform within which to work in order to minimise this risk. Finally it helps them base their ratings on objective pre-defined behavioural criteria, and not on what they ‘think’ is good.
We have numerous solutions to serve everyone’s needs, from train-the-trainers (TTT) to webinar-based methods, and we are also extremely flexible to accommodate any of your requirements.
