Trained Assessors are a crucial requirement for the
success of Assessment and Development Centres. Good assessors are
not only well versed in the competencies and Behavioural
indicators but also skilled at objective observation and
evaluation.
A good pool of trained internal assessors has several advantages.
Some of these have been short listed below.

Training of line managers as internal assessors results in a
more comprehensive stake building - crucial for the success of
HR processes including recruitment, development and
performance management. |

The intensive skill building that takes place in the
Assessor training workshop helps in other areas beyond the
conduct of Assessment Centres. It brings more objectivity and
openness in day to day dealings at meetings and other
interactions. Practice and understanding of objective
evaluation helps improve the quality of on-the-job performance
appraisals and feedback. Besides this, experience as an
assessor helps get a more objective understanding of one's
personal areas of strength and weakness and also the
expectations created by the organisational competency model.
