training senior personnel in the finance and accounting department.

 Senior personnel training is a method many businesses use to build and nurture potential human resources. However, the nature of work differs from one department to another. Therefore, in addition to general training, businesses should provide detailed, structured training for each departmental position to achieve the best results.

The finance and accounting department is still considered highly important within a business. If the production department is where products are created, the finance department is where the company’s profitability is reflected. It does this by balancing income and expenses, invested capital and returns, depreciation over time, and the documents and records submitted to the business.

Because of this importance, businesses should not only ensure effective training for regular employees in the finance department; they should also pay attention to training senior personnel there.

Senior personnel in finance and accounting should have:

 In addition to strong professional knowledge, senior personnel also need to:

  1. Clearly understand the company’s culture, strategy, and direction at each stage.
  2. Understand their teams, including the strengths and weaknesses of each employee.
  3. Be flexible and perceptive when handling situations.
  4. Motivate and support employees in reducing workplace pressure.
  5. Be a pioneer in every project and a bridge between employees.
  6. In addition to financial knowledge, they need to understand the nature of work in other departments so they can promptly provide appropriate cost assessments and measures for each situation, avoiding waste or shortages.
  7. Have strategic thinking and a clear understanding of the business’s development stage in order to propose income and expenditure solutions and budgets suited to the company’s circumstances.

 What assessment criteria should senior personnel training be based on?
  1.  In addition to assessing employees’ current capabilities, businesses need to understand the work habits and tendencies of potential employees. How might these habits affect the nature of the job?

  3.  What helps them remain connected to the organization?
  4.  Measure employees’ working, negotiation, presentation, and other skills.
  5.  What is their role when participating in a team?
  6.  Do they have qualities that promote team development?
  7.  Are their personal culture and the corporate culture aligned?
How do assessment tests help businesses?

Skills and capabilities are things every leader can observe and assess directly, but in addition to skills, employees’ attitudes always need to be carefully considered. Because professional ethics in accounting are essential and extremely important.

For this reason, using leadership ability tests that focus only on assessing employee capabilities is not enough. They should be combined with measurements and diagnostics of employees’ psychology, attitudes, working styles, and even work motivation. This helps businesses identify who is suitable in terms of capabilities, working style, and level of commitment to the organization.

Which assessment tests are effective for businesses?

Depending on the company’s needs and development direction, businesses choose suitable tools to support human resource training and development—optimizing costs while maintaining effective assessment and training.

1. Uchida-Kraepelin (UK test) from Japan.

This is a highly effective tool for recruitment and for finding suitable personnel in Japan and other countries, including Vietnam. It is currently distributed by VienQuest Institute.

One advantage is that they can be administered to many people at the same time while saving costs. UK test provides a high level of screening and measures performance, capabilities, personality tendencies, and working style. Based on these factors, businesses gain a clear understanding of how potential employees work and can easily determine whether they are suited to the nature of the job or how they should be trained if training is needed.

2. Trait-map OD-TOOLs – Personality and occupational capabilities from Germany.

Unlike the UK test, Trait-map focuses on measuring personality in the workplace and in social activities, managers’ and leaders’ most fundamental skills, their roles within groups, and their tendencies when handling conflict or stressful situations. It also measures the risk of burnout among employees in each project, work shift, and so on…

Using these measurements, businesses can identify, train, and develop potential employees.

3. Motivation Questionnaire (MQ) – A motivation questionnaire from Germany.

The MQ test assessment is based on Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, one of the fundamental frameworks for understanding human needs. These needs are analyzed in detail into 16 different basic needs. Measurement is based on participants’ perceptions of their personal satisfaction compared with their expectations. What motivates a person at work and in life? This may include intrinsic motivation—mission, growth, excellence, learning, and so on—or extrinsic motivation—material benefits, achievement, job security, recognition, and more.

Most tools have their own distinctive strengths. Therefore, for important positions and departments, combining multiple toolsets helps businesses produce more detailed and accurate assessments from different perspectives. At the same time, measurement helps minimize workplace inflation and unethical behavior because people’s needs are addressed in a timely manner. Place the right person in the right position. Measure the degree of difference between personal culture and corporate culture, especially in senior and critical positions such as accounting management.
