Ecoembes, as part of its 24/27 strategic plan, has relied on Psicotec for the implementation of the Ecoembes – Psicotec Development Project (Assessment + individual development plan), applied to the group of Coordinators. There are a total of 31 professionals from the different departments of the company: communication and marketing, technology, technology and innovation, finance, external relations…
Objectives of the Ecoembes Assessment and Development Project – Psicotec
Within the strategic plan, the objectives to be achieved were defined. Specifically, the following goals were set for this project:
- Work on the development of each individual, according to their Leadership Model and through individual coaching programs.
- Increase the engagement and motivation of the participants.
- Know individual concerns and expectations.
Phases and Methodology
When designing the phases and methodology of the project, the main objective of individual development has been taken into account. On this basis, the following roadmap has been proposed:
- Individual Assessment sessions. Focused on 6 critical competencies previously defined by the Ecoembes Leadership Model. The duration of each session was approximately 3.5 hours, with all the individual Assessments of this phase being carried out over a calendar month.
- Design and development of the selected techniques. For this project, a questionnaire of professional competences, a series of situational tests (presentation exercise and role play), a motivational interview and an EIB interview have been launched. One of the differential values of this phase is that each and every one of the selected tests have been entirely developed by Psicotec and validated from our R+D+i area, all in accordance with the highest international quality standards (ISO 9001 and ISO 10667), which ensures good practices in the evaluation of people, groups and organizations.
- Cabinet Work. Focused on the analysis of results and extraction of the conclusions of the Assessment.
- Feedback. Just as important as the Assessment itself, individual feedback provides high value to the participants. In this case, individual feedback sessions were proposed with the Managers, the People and Organization department and the participants. In addition to offering a global and detailed vision of the strengths and areas for improvement, they served as a starting point for the implementation of the Individual Development Plan.
- Reporting and delivery of individual reports. Several different reports are designed, each of them with a different purpose and which seek to be useful in decision-making. In addition to the individual reports for the company and the participants, there is an online group report based on data analytics that is presented in a customizable dashboard .
- Individual Development Plan. It was carried out through Coaching sessions with the focus on the areas of development identified in the individual Assessment sessions and that were key to the personal and professional development of each person.
Factors that have contributed to the success of the Ecoembes – Psicotec Assessment and Development Project
Communication and trust. The excellent partnership between the People and Organization department of Ecoembes and Psicotec has contributed to the success of the Project. Transparent communication and full alignment with the purpose, as well as accurate internal communication about the objective and phases of the Project.
Team and experience. The Psicotec team assigned to the project has been made up of Consultants, specialists in People Assessment, with more than 1000 hours/evaluation/year, for the individual Assessment phase, in addition to 3 Coaches with accredited training and more than ten years of experience in coaching.
Scalability and globality. Psicotec is a national and international benchmark in the evaluation and development of professionals. The company conducts more than 2000 assessments per year, of which more than half have a development goal.
