About Workplace Assessment

As the demands of a Global economy test the ability of organisations to meet market demands, and the pool of talent becomes a scarce community, the Human Resource function, and indeed the CEO, needs to have clear knowledge about what competence they need to meet the business needs, what competence they have at their disposal, and the gap between those two vital statistics.

Workplace Assessment is a formal process of identifying what is needed, what is available and the gap.

What is the Workplace Assessment Business System?

HRworkbench's Workplace Assessment Platform is a structured, disciplined process for managing the assessment of competence in the workplace.

It is an online process that can be accessed from any Internet access point and operates using secure connections.

Workplace Assessment streamlines the process of workplace assessment and reduces the labour cost inherent in the process whilst providing some powerful analytical tools that can be applied to the assessment database.

Who is it for?

The Workplace Assessment Platform is designed for the HR Manager, or Consultant who is responsible for assessing workplace competence in the most cost effective manner, with the highest possible value add in analytical capability.

What solutions does the Workplace Assessment Platform provide?
