Personnel assessment is a procedure for systematically measuring and subsequently analyzing an employee’s professional competencies. It helps to make the right management decisions in the personnel management system and beyond.
Why is personnel assessment necessary in an organization?
Personnel assessment helps to understand the strengths and weaknesses of employees. Knowing these strengths and weaknesses allows you to form effective teams in which the weaknesses of one employee are compensated by the strengths of another. Understanding the weaknesses of each employee also allows you to develop an individual career development plan and draw up a corporate training plan.
Personnel assessment helps to reduce subjectivity towards employees on the part of managers and minimise the influence of likes and dislikes.
Personnel assessment provides additional information to justify personnel decisions: rotations within the company, career advancement, and sometimes dismissals.
A high-quality personnel assessment is also necessary before launching organizational changes, for the implementation of HR and any business strategy, and for strategic personnel management in general. It allows you to assess the company’s personnel potential.
It helps in the formation of the organization’s personnel reserve: it becomes clear who and how to prepare for key and managerial positions in the future.
