Your partner in transformation
The aim of Organisation Development (OD) is to enhance organisational effectiveness and health to the benefit of all. Its aim is therefore to anticipate change, to assist organisations to adapt to it so as to ensure sustainability and growth.
" Never before in history has change been so fast and dynamic; and never again will it be this slow (Anonymous)"
Our skilled consultants, guide and support organisations, teams and individuals to face the unique challenges of todays volatile business environment. We make it our business to understand your business and what influences effectiveness and health across the whole system. This can include strategy, structure, leadership, culture, teamwork, development interventions and diversity. Our work is anchored in our values of respect, engagement and integrity.

Psychometric Services and Assessment centres.
We at Treetops have a practical and holistic approach to Psychometric Services and Assessment Centres. Our assessments and assessment processes are transparent, culturally fair and conforms to the South African legislative and professional requirements. We also stay abreast of the latest international development best practices and trends.
OUR PROCESS
Assessment Centre can be defined as:
"a variety of testing techniques designed to allow candidates to demonstrate, under standardized conditions, the skills and abilities that are most essential for success in a given job" (Coleman, 1987).
"Some sort of in-basket exercise which contains contents similar to those which are found in the in-basket for the job which is being tested. Other possibilities include oral exercises, counseling simulations, problem analysis exercises, interview simulations, role play exercises, written report/analysis exercises, and leaderless group exercises" (Coleman, 1987; Filer, 1979; Joiner, 1984).
"Assessment centers allow candidates to demonstrate more of their skills through a number of job relevant situations" (Joiner, 1984).
Our Assessment philosophy is one that “believes that people are defined by their unique strength” as these are the reason for their success. Strengths need to be applied to the unique requirements of each position and to align candidates’ strengths with positional requirements. We have an extensive library of Job Profiles. The Assessment Centre consists of practical case studies, interactive exercises, interviews and standardises psychometric instruments.
The duration of an assessment will depend on the position, but can range from 1.5 hours to a full-day.
The most important step in any assessment process is feedback to the individual, his/her manager and the organisation. Here assessment centres are not only used for the group and selection purposes but for development purposes as well. Each individual’s report is complemented with a 2-year Development Plan.
360° ASSESSMENTS
Besides our Assessment Centres, Treetops also facilitate 360° assessments and feedback. 360° assessments is a process whereby staff, peers, managers, internal and external clients give feedback to their managers on their performance and leadership skills. This process is managed confidentially and all results are supported by integrated development planning and one-on-one coaching.
Benefits:
Creates a space for no-nonsense and personal feedback to managers around their performance from their staff.
Feedback is facilitated in a confidential manner through an objective third party (Treetops Consultants).
Complements existing performance management processes and performance reviews.
Creates a sound platform for further coaching and development.
Gives managers the opportunity to request feedback on issues, performance and growth they have questions about.
Creates a measurable baseline perception of performance against which change and growth can be measured in future.
Makes the distinction between leadership intention and observed behaviour visible for managers.
Can be used as a powerful follow-up to Assessment centres (1 to 3 year timeframe).
Training and Development
Treetops is committed to help individuals discover themselves, their own strengths and their potential. We actively involve people in their own learning and ensure that newfound skills are transferred to life and the work environment. Our action learning, interactive and the whole person training methodologies make our work exciting and fun.
Are you maximising your training investment?
When you choose a Training Service Provider, you do not only buy into the services, but also a philosophy and a way of doing. The Treetops way of doing is to focus on you – the client- and your unique requirements. We do not believe in generic or ‘off-the-shelve” packages, but in customising our programmes.
