Simulation exercises reproduce real life workplace scenarios and are used to assess demonstrable competencies required for successful job performance. They are often assessed in Assessment or Development Centres.
The basics
Simulation exercises highlight the strengths and development needs of a candidate in a highly visible way and can be applied for selection purposes, promotion or development.
Competencies such as Persuasiveness, Team Working, Innovation, Action Orientation and Decision Making can be difficult to directly assess without simulation exercises. It is when these (and other) competencies are of critical importance that simulation exercises can add most value.
SHL provides a variety of simulation exercises to suit different job levels and contexts, including:
- In-trays
- Group exercises
- Analysis presentations
- Fact finding exercises
- Role-plays
