Case Study
Hayleys Group

Forté has consistently facilitated the Assessment Center for Management Trainees at Hayleys Group since the year 2018. Using a mixed methodology of activities, psychometrics, and reflective tools, Forté has supported the organization in identifying and recruiting MTs who are not only skilled, but also are an attitudinal and culture fit to the organization, with good success.

The assessment center was tailor made to suit our requirement. The reports of the candidates were comprehensive and easy to interpret.

Case Study

Forté was commissioned by the Asia Foundation Sri Lanka to conduct a Development Center at the Family Rehabilitation Center (FRC). In this project, Forté built on and expanded the organization’s competency framework, and designed and facilitated a series of activities to assess existing staff members’ competence with expected standards. Following the assessments, recommendations for personal and professional development were shared with the individuals and organization both.

I myself found the engagement to be very useful and insightful for my own growth and this was mentioned by a majority of our staff themselves. The recommendations provided will help us to see what actions we can take in the next phase of strategic change at FRC
