"Our
people are our most important assets". More and
more organizations are awakening to the fact that
they can no longer ignore this crucial resource. The
belief being that "satisfied employees"
ensure "satisfied customers".An
Assessment Center is one of the tools used as aids
of employee enrichment. Even though it may seem that
too much money and time is involved in implementation
of as Assessment Center, the benefits of such an exercise
far outweigh the perceived drawbacks, in the long
run.
"The
King shall thoroughly investigate all the qualities
of anyone whom he is considering for appointment as
a minister. Of these qualities, nationality, family
background and amenability to discipline shall be
verified from reliable people (who know the candidate
well). The candidate's knowledge of various arts shall
be tested by experts in their respective fields. Intelligence,
perseverance and dexterity shall be evaluated by examining
his past performance, while eloquence, boldness and
presence of mind shall be ascertained by interviewing
him personally. Watching how he deals with others
will show his energy, endurance, ability to suffer
adversities, integrity, loyalty and friendliness.
From his intimate friends, the king shall find about
his strengths, health and character (whether lazy
or energetic, fickle or steady). The candidate's amiability
(absence of a tendency to hate) shall be ascertained
by personal observation."
