Client Overview

The Government of Ras Al Khaimah (RAK) is committed to excellence in governance and organizational development. The HR department of the RAK Government sought an effective way to identify and nurture high-potential employees (HiPots) to strengthen their workforce and leadership pipeline.

Challenge

The RAK Government HR department needed a reliable and validated method to identify HiPots within their workforce. With 21 employees selected for evaluation, the department also aimed to benchmark Discover Assessments against their internal tools to ensure alignment and accuracy in identifying top talent.

Solution

Implementation

  1. Assessment Rollout: The Discover DISC assessment was conducted on 21 employees to evaluate their behavioral tendencies, strengths, and potential for higher responsibilities.
  2. Internal Validation: The assessment results were compared with the outcomes of the RAK Government’s internal tools for identifying HiPots. This benchmarking exercise ensured consistency and validated the accuracy of Discover Assessments.
  3. Integration Across Departments: Following the successful validation, where Discover Assessments matched internal selections in 20 out of 21 cases, the DISC tool was adopted for identifying HiPots across all departments in the RAK Government.

Results

  • High Accuracy: Discover Assessments achieved a 95% match with the internal identification process, demonstrating its reliability and scientific rigor.
  • Streamlined Identification: The DISC tool provided a consistent and objective framework for identifying HiPots, reducing the reliance on subjective evaluations.
  • Organization-Wide Adoption: Based on its proven effectiveness, the DISC assessment is now used across all departments to identify and nurture high-potential employees.
