Frequently Asked Questions

Work Dynamics provides integrated consulting psychology support across assessment, competency and skills frameworks, organisational development, change, leadership, performance, remuneration, employee research and digital diagnostics. We tailor the scope, methodology, governance and reporting to the organisation’s context and decision requirements.

Solutions may include psychometric assessments, competency-based interviews, assessment and development centres, situational judgement tests, case studies, role plays, 360-degree feedback, leadership assessments and bespoke screening tools. The methodology is selected according to the purpose, role requirements and evidence needed.

Yes. The WD Digital Platform supports online assessments, skills analyses, 360-degree assessments, surveys, bespoke questionnaires, participation monitoring and reporting. Blended or in-person methods are used where observation, facilitation or role simulation is required.

Personal and assessment information is managed according to agreed project governance, confidentiality requirements, POPIA and applicable professional and ethical standards. Access, reporting, retention and handover arrangements are defined for each project.

Yes. Work Dynamics designs selection processes that assess candidates against role requirements using appropriate, job-relevant and professionally governed methods. Depending on the role, this may include psychometric tools, simulations, structured interviews and integrated assessment evidence.

Yes. Development assessments identify strengths, potential, behavioural risks and priority development needs without reducing the outcome to a pass-or-fail decision. Depending on the purpose, the process may include psychometric assessments, competency-based exercises, 360-degree feedback, simulations and structured interviews. Participants receive professionally facilitated feedback and a practical individual development plan aligned with role and organisational requirements.

Duration depends on the purpose, role level, number of tools and whether exercises or feedback are included. We confirm the expected participant time and process requirements before launch.

Yes. Reporting may be produced at individual, team, business-unit or organisational level, subject to the purpose, data quality, confidentiality thresholds and agreed governance. We also facilitate executive briefings, feedback sessions, workshops and action-planning processes.

Yes. We develop bespoke competency frameworks, functional and technical libraries, role profiles, proficiency models, skills analyses, career pathways and related implementation tools. Each solution is aligned with the organisation’s strategy, roles, operating context and governance requirements.

Yes. We develop fit-for-purpose assessment solutions where off-the-shelf tools do not adequately reflect the role, operating environment or decision context. Situational judgement assessment design and validation is one of Work Dynamics’ specialist capabilities. We develop role-relevant scenarios and response options through job and competency analysis, subject-matter expert input and structured review, and then pilot and evaluate the tool using appropriate psychometric, validity and fairness analyses. The final solution is supported by administration guidance, scoring protocols, reporting and governance documentation.

Yes. We develop organisation-specific diagnostic instruments to assess constructs such as employee engagement, organisational climate, organisational culture, change readiness, leadership and team effectiveness. Our surveys are designed as diagnostic tools rather than generic questionnaires. Each instrument is grounded in a clear conceptual model and reviewed for content relevance, clarity and alignment with the intended construct. Where the project design and sample allow, we also examine reliability, response patterns and construct structure to strengthen confidence that the tool measures what it is intended to measure.

Feedback is treated as the starting point for action, not the end of the assignment. We help clients translate findings and recommendations into prioritised action plans with clear outcomes, responsibilities, timelines, success measures and governance arrangements. Depending on the engagement, we facilitate feedback sessions, action-planning workshops, leadership alignment and implementation support, and can monitor progress through follow-up measures or pulse checks. This helps ensure that insight leads to sustained improvement rather than remaining in a report.
