Exploring the New Wave of Employment Assessments

However, modern assessments now consider a broader range of skills, including emotional intelligence, adaptability, and collaboration, to evaluate an employee’s capabilities comprehensively. With the advent of technology, assessments have also become more efficient and data-driven, enabling organizations to make informed decisions about promotions based on objective criteria. This episode explores assessments, their development, and what we need today.
