Assessment Centres - UK?



I'm interested in assessment centre activities in particular for Warehouse Operatives roles.

I would like to use a group discussion / consensus activity if anyone has any ideas?

Thanks

I'm a HR manager for a warehousing and manufacturing business and we never use assessment centres for our lower paid/skilled warehouse roles.

Normally, we would interview and ask them to complete a low level psychometric assessment as part of the selection process. At most, we may organise an assessment on a FLT with a trainer.

But if you were interested in such assessment centres and had the time to operate it, you could consider some team based activities etc. But it would really depend on the Person Specification for this role....i.e. if you need your warehouse operatives to demonstrate leadership qualities then a group assessment or scenario based role play/question could be a good way to test this. If, however, your warehouse operatives merely need to be able to drive a truck/case pick and operate other MHE then probably would want to test their experience of using MHE (i.e. licences, tests etc) instead.

Good Luck!
Hi im not too sure about warehouse ones but ive been to a few for business roles and they all have the same format. they will all include an interview, and then they choose a few other things. eg, a team activity like playing jenga with big gloves on and then you watch how each individual operates within a team and see what role they adopt. also, presentations are popular - usually get about 20 mins reading time 10 mins prep time on a particular subject. there are always aptitude tests which focus on basic maths skills and english skills.
