Director of personnel
Instructions
A management meeting takes place, chaired by the Director of Personnel. There is one item on the agenda: Progress report on the Assessment Center; members' views.
Working in groups, play the roles indicated below. At the meeting, give your reactions to the Director of Personnel's progress report.
Start by giving a progress report on the Assessment Center. Be positive. The Center has been a great success and is popular with executives. It is particularly useful in identifying staff who can fill higher management positions. It has given staff the opportunity to look at their careers, and to plan their future in the company. In your opinion, all executives must attend the center.
You are not so happy about the Assessment Center as you used to be. The report and paperwork connected with it take up a lot of your time. The Director of Personnel and the Training Manager seem to spend most of their time at the Center - they never seem to be available when you want them. Some executives have criticized the Center privately. They hate doing the psychological tests.

You think that the Assessment Center is an excellent training facility, although you have never had to attend it personally, for obvious reasons. Try to find the opportunity during the meeting to praise the Director of Personnel for his marvelous idea.
