We are thinking about using some form of assessment to measure critical thinking/reasoning skills. Does anyone have a recommendation or are using something like this?

Here are two recommendations.

The Hogan Business Reasoning Inventory (HBRI) report measures critical reasoning in a business context to predict occupational success. The report evaluates qualitative and quantitative reasoning for selection and development purposes. The Hogan tool can be used in conjunction with the other Hogan personality tools, so I would recommend it over the Watson Glaser.

The Watson Glaser critical thinking test is a unique assessment that provides a detailed analysis of a participant’s ability to think critically.

Yes - we are using a tool for Care Coordinator roles that assesses those skills and others; it has heled us improve time to fill and reduce the number of recruiters supporting those roles.

We’re exploring changes to our performance management approach by introducing a mid-year check-in and a year-end evaluation. At the same time, we already run an established Talent Review process mid-year, though employees are not informed of their placement. We’re mindful that managers might see these processes as repetitive. How do you handle this in your organizations? What approaches have worked well for you?

Curious to benchmark how organizations manage/support their job architectures/career frameworks, meaning who "owns" and is responsible for the framework itself, the enablement of it, job descriptions, etc. I've mostly seen it in Total Rewards (compensation) but we know Talent Management is a key stakeholder. Would love to hear how you all govern it and where the hand-offs/touchpoints are between those groups?
