Assessments & Psychometric Testing
High performance corporate entities benefit tremendously by employing objective, thorough and standardized assessment tools in order to make better decisions vis-a-vis recruitment, promotion, employee development, career planning and reward management. These decisions are helpful to organizations in meeting current workforce needs and in planning for future aspirations.
CGS offers different combinations of assessment services to cater to specific client needs, based on their unique requirements. These tools have been acquired and adapted or developed in-house through research and our industry experience, ensuring a high level of validity and objectivity.
Our Assessment Resources
Company definition and behavioral indicators
We have developed some universal competencies based on research of existing company structures and our own experience in various industries through different assessment, recruitment and development activity. Further, we have defined behavioral indicators in order to measure these competencies for the purpose of assessment.
Assessment center and development center
Depending on clients' specific requirements, we design and deliver Assessment or Development Center solutions which typically involves a one or two-day intervention. The design/content of an assessment or development center may differ depending on the objectives and purpose. Our methodology ensures that each competency is measured in multiple exercises / tests and each participant is observed by multiple assessors to ensure a consistent high quality and objective assessment. In addition, an assessment or development center may also employ Behavioral Interview, Psycetric tests and Feedback Sessions.
We emphasize on the use of behavioral interviewing techniques with a view to minimize subjectivity. The focus is on past behavior that may be used to infer and predict future behavior of the employee. Interviewing as an assessment technique may either be employed as a stand-alone technique or may be coupled with other assessment techniques, depending on the client's requirement.
One to one discussion and interviews are also used in client engagements requiring work relationship counseling, stress counseling, career counseling and motivational counseling.
Psychometric Testing
We believe that Psychometric Tests are a powerful and versatile assessment tool, and we subscribe to their increasing use by organizations for enhancing the quality of assessment and development of employees. Our in-house psychologist are trained and qualified to identify, administer and interpret psychometric tests and we keep ourselves abreast of emerging additions to the battery of tests available in the international market.
Over the years, clients have engaged us to conduct different personality and ability tests on existing and potential employees. The increasing frequency and volume of test administered has now prompted our in-house team to focus attention on developing culture-based norms which may be more relevant in the local context in situations requiring us to predict job performance on the basis of local norms. Our team is in the process of developing these norms.
Executive Search
In Business Process Reengineering (BPR) a 'holistic' approach is employed that combines people, process and technology to achieve breakthroughs in business performance. Typically, such assignments involve a radical redesign of business processes, which in turn may require restructuring the organization, upgrading information systems, as well as, a shift in corporate values and mindsets. These assignments normally involve following steps;
• Planning and Preparation for Re-engineering As-Is Study of business processes
• Mapping and Analysis of As-Is Process
• Designing of To-Be Processes
• Development & Software coding of To-Be Process
• Implementation of Re-engineered Process
• Training of Human Resources for Re-engineered and Newly Developed Process
• Post Implementation Review & Audit
Our approach for reassessing, realigning and reengineering business processes is based on the tools and techniques of Focused Quality Management (FQM). The reason - tightly focusing on quality initiatives produces desired business results. As a basis for our approach, we use a three-tier Activity Matrix that serves as a guiding principle and backbone for implementing change management. This activity matrix revolves around three fundamental components - people, processes and technology - and these are reassessed across a three-tier change spectrum - refine, redesign, and reengineer. This approach helps assess which specific components of a business process need to change and the extent of change required in each one of them.
Compensation & Reward Management
Employee compensation issues typically dealt with by Human Resources Practice address questions such as:
• Are compensation strategies and policies in line with competitive trends and responsive to domestic and cultural needs?
• Are allowances, benefits and perquisites and the retirement plans sensitive to the corporate objectives and their realization?
• Are compensation practices competitive and cost effective and yet responsive to corporate goals and philosophy?
• Are compensation packages responsive to the advantages and benefits conferred by the tax law for optimization of tax benefits?
• Are employment contracts and documentation of retirement schemes designed in a manner benefiting the business enterprise and the employees?
The Compensation Management services provided by the HR Consulting Practice of CGS can assist clients in ensuring that clients' compensation structures and practices are consistent with market norms and trends and are internally consistent across functions and at various hierarchical levels.
