Goal of the Supervisory Potential Assessment Tool
Louisiana is making great strides in its Statewide Workforce Planning
initiative. Workforce planning is a long-range view of staffing and
training needs. More specifically, it is a systematic process for
analyzing the current workforce, predicting future needs, identifying the gap
between present and future and implementing programs that bridge that gap and
allow organizations to accomplish their mission.
Predicting future workforce needs is an important element of workforce
planning. One of the gaps that we will face in the future of state
government will be replacing employees at the supervisory level. Our goal
with the Supervisory Potential Assessment Tool is to provide employees with
information to identify areas of strength and areas of weakness pertaining to
development in the supervisory area.
What is the Supervisory Potential Assessment Tool?
The Supervisory Potential Assessment Tool is designed for state employees who
are not currently in a supervisory level position but are considering growth in
this career area. The results from this tool will provide an employee
with information concerning supervisory skill areas that the employee excels in
as well as those skill areas that the employee needs additional development.
This tool is a self-assessment and is designed to assist those employees
that complete it with opportunities for growth and development.
The results of this assessment do not need to be shared with a supervisor
or agency personnel unless the employee chooses to do so. The results
from the assessment will not affect job classifications or pay grades. It
is to the advantage of the employee taking this assessment to answer each
question as honestly as possible in order to gain productive results in
assessing individual supervisory potential.
