The Assessment & Development Centres (ADC) are an important HR initiative in this competitive business scenario, which assess the competencies of the employees in an organization through their demonstrated behaviors and utilizes that information for crafting development needs and development initiatives for the employees.

Although the Assessment & Development Centre's method is popular, it has been widely criticized as to whether it predominantly measures the dimensions it is designed to measure. Thus, testing of its effectiveness is very important for establishing its validity. An exploratory type of research work, focussed on a fortune 500 company, aimed at establishing the effectiveness & relevance of Assessment & Development Centres specific to the Company. The research makes use of Simple Random Sampling Method (without replacement) and a Structured Feedback Survey Questionnaire as the basis for the Data Collection & Graphical Presentation as the mode of Data Analysis.
