Assessments
Our evaluation process follows a two-pronged methodology that encompasses the study of key skills and professional behaviors.
Career analysis, achievement analysis, personality reviews (personal characteristics and working methods); Profile adequacy assessments for open positions; Analyses of motivational factors, social and professional behaviors, and psychological capacity.
Examples
Facilitating the decision-making of a Human Resources Direction in the context of mobility with several internal candidates.
Validating professional behavior before appointing a business expert to a managerial position.
These are often matters of allowing behavior observation on the spot, in direct connection with the frame of reference of the company. These role-playing scenarios can be individual or collective, such as:
– Presentation of personal accomplishments
– Strategic vision exercices
– ‘In basket’: handling of complex situations with priority management facing multiple people
– Management of difficult issues face to face
– Group role-playing
These results allow a broader assessment of the reactions of a manager (or expert) from distinct perspectives:
– Intellectual (development and adaptation of strategies, curiosity and innovation, critical thinking and risk management…)
– Relational (listening, observation, assertiveness, leadership…)
– Emotional (stress control, emotion management, resilience…)
– Operational (steering, adherence, change management, uncertainty management…)
Board Advisory
Governance advisorySetting up a remuneration committee
Help in defining Executive Committee duties
Planning and leading management seminars
Example
A company’s compensation systems needed to be streamlined, following the arrival and integration of new staff from different environments.Compensation procedures had not evolved and suffered from significant disparity in performance indicators. To handle such issues, the ACPR (France’s Prudential Control and Resolution Authority) recommends setting up a compensation committee.
We defined the committee’s duties, its role and responsibilities, as well as its composition and operating procedures. Subsequently, we also identified and assisted in sitting two independent members on the committee, as required for its proper operation.
Compensation Studies
Ideal partners for communicating trends and providing market information, we conduct targeted studies and advise companies looking to review their compensation systems and associated governance structures.
Example
Acquiring a clearer view of market practices outside the traditional “fixed salary and bonus” paradigm and framing those practices into actionable insights and advice for the Management Board.
