3. On-line assessment
On-line assessment is included into the process to ensure that we have right participants on the board.
On-line assessment consists of tests (inductive and deductive thinking, verbal and numerical reasoning) and personality questionnaires.
Results of the tests are interpreted by psychologists during on-line meeting: 30 minutes for a participants and 30 minutes for your manager and HR.
Why assessment?
- during interpretations you can get a very good insight about yourself and also get topics that can be discussed during your mentoring sessions (e.g. fear from conflict, lack of persuasion skills, self confidence, etc.)
- it shows that this type of external mentoring is not the best development tool for more junior colleagues or for people without defined topic for discussions. That´s why we want to identify who is this tool good for.
4. Mentoring
- Femme Palette will do their best to match you with a mentor who will have required experience and you will have a chance to approve the choice during chemistry session
- in 99% cases mentoring sessions will be on-line (most probably lecturers will be either from different city/town or different country)
- It can happen that there will be no available mentor in your country but there will be a mentor with required experience in other country. So please don´t expect, that mentors have to be from your country.
