Then, he emphasized that every leader in the organization has a role and responsibility in HR management and development. The HR management function is not only the responsibility of the work unit in charge of HR but is also the shared responsibility of all leaders throughout the organization. Therefore, every leader at all levels of the organizational hierarchy should have an understanding and skills in HR management.
The following material was on competency assessment techniques and assessments and interviews using the BEI (behavioral event interview) method delivered by Vittria Tattiana, S.Psi, psychologist, CHA. He currently serves as Corp. People Development Dept Head, PT Indocement Tunggal Prakarsa Tbk. In his presentation, he said that BEI is an interview technique for gathering information about a person’s behavior. BEI will encourage the individual to tell stories logically about experiences through behaviors carried out. The structure of BEI questions uses the STAR Model (Situation-Task-Action-Result). In this session, a competency assessment interview simulation was carried out by dividing participants into several small groups, and at the end of the session, representatives of 2 groups of participants carried out interview practice. The participants seemed enthusiastic about carrying out simulation practices and interview demonstrations. (UGM/Adi) (Translated version by SDM/Rista).
