I think employee development is a really good idea. At Children's Healthcare of Atlanta they focus on development efforts on high-performing employees who have the potential to become managers. These employees complete a full day of assessment that includes personality test and participating in a business simulation in in which they take the role of managers. Each year they also attend five workshops, where they learn about leading change, developing a business strategy, and creating a personal vision. They work in teams to solve a practical problem affecting Children's and they receive coaching to help them set and achieve their own goals. I think this is such a good idea because it helps keep employees around if they feel like they have a chance to move up in the company and their hard work is being identified and rewarded.
I think taking the psychological inventory and skill/interest assessments are such a good idea to help you as an employer understand your employees more and as an employee to understand yourself and where you probably want to be.
What sorts of things should be covered in development training other than managerial aspects? What are some assessment tests you have come across that can help you develop your skills before you even enter your career or graduate?
