Abstract:
This article compares assessment centers features in South Africa, Western Europe, and North America. The current assessment center practices are evaluated in terms of professional recommendations and trends over time are identified. More specifically, the paper focuses on the main objectives of the assessment centers, the methods for job analysis, the types of job requirements being assessed, the kinds of exercises and simulations used, the method for data integration in the final assessment center stages as well as how and when feedback is delivered to the participants and what the feedback is about. Suggestions for improving the assessment center programs overall and per region will be made.
