Development Center

Ergo's Development Center

The Development activity uses the results that emerged from the assessment center to define self-development paths and targeted interventions, aimed at strengthening the skills and improving the professional performance of employees.

The tests used during this procedure are in fact not only intended to evaluate, but also to provide employees with opportunities to test themselves in real contexts, adopting any correctives from an operational and motivational point of view.

The goal is to support each individual through a concrete and structured growth path, creating the conditions to fully exploit their potential and promote their evolution within the organization.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Development Center (or "DC") is a structured methodology of assessment and development of personnel oriented to the enhancement of human capital within an organization. An effective tool to support self-development paths and resource growth plans.

Unlike the tools used exclusively for evaluation purposes, the Development Center is designed to actively support people's professional growth, promoting awareness, learning and continuous improvement.

Its main objective is not limited to noting the current level of skills, but to identify the potential for individual development and foster the strengthening of the capacities needed to address more complex roles, responsibilities and organizational contexts.

Through the development center activity, it is possible to prepare resources to face more complex roles, responsibilities and organizational contexts.

During the Development Center path, the participants are observed through exercises, simulations and behavioral evaluations similar, by methodology, to those used in the Assessment Centers.

However, the tests used during this procedure are not exclusively intended to make evaluations, but also to provide concrete opportunities for employees to test themselves in real contexts, with any correctives.

The substantial difference lies in the purpose: the Development Center is not limited to measuring the profile of the resource, but aims to identify strengths and areas for improvement to strengthen and promote the development of new skills.

While the Assessment Center is mainly oriented to the selection or identification of the most suitable resources for a specific role, the Development Center is focused on the development of people already integrated into the company, with the aim of helping them strengthen their skills and express their full potential.

The Assessment Center is therefore a tool mainly for the use of recruiters, while the Development Center can be used independently.
