Of course if a person is redeployed i.e. moves or is allocated to a different position, use, or function; then it will leave a vacancy in their part of the business. However, there are still major benefits for the organisation – increase in staff retention and satisfaction to name but two. The individual also potentially gains, they could be re-invigorated and bring immediate inside knowledge of the company and its ethos.
From an HR perspective, looking after employees, recruitment, retaining and developing staff as well as meeting the skills needs of the business is a constant challenge. Most individuals who are recruited or who are existing employees have other skills which perhaps they don’t need for the current role but which could be useful in another role. However how do we get to know what our staff are capable of? How can we catalogue their skills? Or another way of putting it would be how do we test their redeployment potential?
The solution from Recruitment Assessment, Aspirant, enables any members of staff, who wishes to, to access a personal testing centre. Here they can select any / all of a number of pre-configured online multi topic tests.
These results then form part of their competency portfolio where they can demonstrate their prowess. These results might have no relationship with their current role or skills that were assessed when they joined the company. The test takers scores are anonymised in a database.
Managers who have a vacancy can easily search the data set against several different criteria. Via the HR department, they can then make contact with any candidates that have the requisite abilities / aptitudes and let them know about their roles and see if they are interested in knowing more about the position.
