Corporate role play – what is it?

Corporate role play is widely used on training courses and assessment centres offering a powerful tool to develop and assess communication, management and interpersonal skills.

We supply professional role players to Training and HR Managers, Training Consultants and Assessors. Our diverse team of role players can play a wide range of characters and types to create realistic scenarios and personnel reflecting your company profile. Our role players can learn complicated business briefs in advance or improvise to work with delegates’ issues on the training day. Feedback is a key component of training and our role players are selected for their ability to offer sensitive and constructive feedback. We can supply one role player for one day or several role players per day for weeks or even months.

Using professional role players for training:

• Delegates gain practical experience implementing the theoretical skill set learned on a training course.
• Working with professional role players delegates can focus on their own performance and learn from their mistakes in a safe training environment.
• The skill of our professional role players allows any workplace scenario or personality to be convincingly replicated.
• Our role players are skilled at giving unbiased and constructive written or verbal feedback.

Using professional role players for assessment:

• Our role players can consistently repeat the same performance to provide a level playing field for assessment and promotion candidates.
• A professional role player can start each session with the same character and scenario but respond differently to each candidate’s performance.
• Role play offers assessors an opportunity to observe at first hand candidates’ real interpersonal and management abilities
