The Research

The Management Competency Assessment™ was originally designed from a content analysis of a myriad of research articles and studies into effective management practices by the author Bob Selden. It was then refined through focus groups of various managers across industries and later field tested with specific targeted managers.

How do I use it?

The Management Competency Assessment is primarily used as an input to a Management Development Intervention, either workshop or structured training program.

The person being assessed needs to provide a list of the people they wish to have as their raters, along with the relationships of those raters to themselves (Self, Manager, Peers, Direct Reports).

Emails need to be customised for the organisation and organisationally specific introduction and privacy screens also need to be developed prior to implementing the process.

Once this is done, all raters are invited to respond and are given, individual, secure access codes to access the system to complete the questionnaires.

The facilitator can review the status online at all times.

The system automatically reminds people who have not responded within the project timelines.

When all raters are complete, the facilitator can either print a hard copy at their own desktop, or flick a switch to enable the person to view their own reports

The reports show the currently rated performance as well as an indicator as to whether the Manager should do the same amount, more, or less of this activity.

It is an insightful reporting mechanism.

Elect to administer the project yourself or have HRworkbench do the administration on your behalf.
