Objective and fast
The ‘In Basket’ is one of the most frequently used simulation techniques for assessment and development centres. This technique is used to measure competencies relating to data processing and organisation of work. The Web In Basket is the ideal HR tool to optimise your selection process because it gives you a fast and objective insight in the way a participant deals with a situation in which problems need to be solved in a short period of time.
The automated system guarantees objectivity and it saves a lot of time, because the entire process is conducted digitally, all the way through to reporting.
Practically
The Web In Basket allows for the testing of the following competencies:
- Problem analysis (problem identification, relations between problems, the recognising of a logical order)
- Decision making (independent decision making, timely decision making)
- Initiative (sharing information, consulting, including others)
- Service minded (react in time upon questions or demands, offer the correct solutions)
- Planning and organisation (prioritising, planning skills)
- Delegating (delegating what, to whom and how)
The participant sits at a PC and takes on the role of the project manager in a realistic work situation. During about an hour he processes information, i.e. various emails from his ‘In Basket’. Along the way, new information is available that needs to be included in the process. The competency assessment is connected with the completeness and the quality with which the participant processes memos and tasks in the In Basket.
Thanks to the completely automated reporting, you dispose of a varied and thorough evaluation, including competency scores but also specific behavioural indicators.
The comprehensive presentation of the achieved results also support the feedback process.
The objective evaluation of the Web In Basket will become increasingly meaningful to you, because you can deduct a norm from the results. The Web In-Basket can be completely tailored towards the context and the specific needs of your organisation.
