Re-organisation

When restructuring a directorate or department, or constructing an entirely new team, it is important not only to get the decisions right and ensure they are robust, but also to be sensitive to the anxieties that internal candidates will be feeling. By developing a thorough and objective assessment process based on best practice principles, not only can you be sure that your decisions are as accurate as possible, but that candidates will feel they have been treated fairly. Our assessment team has a great deal of experience of working in situations like this and knows how to handle them appropriately.

Applying GatenbySanderson's leadership assessment package in re-organisation situations will give you a fair and accurate way to make decisions about placing internal candidates into new posts. By ensuring that the assessment process is aligned to competencies, such as the NHS Leadership Qualities Framework, the process is defensible and transparent. We can advise you on rigorous methodology for conducting any technical or professional knowledge-based evaluations. Our assessment team can then provide valuable insights into important leadership qualities, rather than relying solely on past performance data or appraisal ratings.

In these situations we offer all internal candidates face to face feedback. This enables them to make the most of the process they have been through, irrespective of the outcome, and can encourage them to make better informed decisions about their future career direction.
