 |  |  | |  Testing Times... Using Psychometrics (A guide for managers)
The term “psychometrics” is becoming more common amongst the HR community and also within recruitment as a whole. However, there is very little common understanding amongst general managers about what exactly psychometrics are, how they can benefit a company and how they should be used. In this article Abeceder associate Jane Addy looks at the whole area of psychometrics, taking in both the frequently asked questions and then looking at how psychometrics can contribute in a wider role outside of pure assessment and selection.
Assessment Centres Assessed
While the use of assessment centres is on the increase (according to a recent CIPD survey, 34% of employers surveyed had used them), the importance of adopting good practices cannot be over-emphasised. Assessment centres aim to provide ‘accurate’ assessments but this can only be achieved through careful and effective design and implementation.
In the third of several articles on competencies, Abeceder Associate Gayna Deacon takes a look at the purpose of assessment centres, as well as the ‘pros’ and ‘cons’ to using assessment centres for selection as part of a wider competency-based recruitment and selection process.

Force Field Analysis
Force Field Analysis is a problem-solving and decision making tool that allows an individual, or a group of people to examine all the forces for and against a proposed plan, to weigh up the particular strength and importance of each force involved and then to decide on what actions to take. It is, says Abeceder associate Sue Heward helpful when introducing major change into an organisation in identifying factors that support the change and the strength of potential resistors.
This article will describe what Force Field Analysis is, why it is an important tool for you and your business and how to use it.
