IN-BASKET TECHNIQUE

In-Basket Technique

The In-Basket Technique is a simulation exercise used to assess an individual’s ability to manage time, prioritize tasks, make decisions, and communicate effectively. It is commonly used in the hiring and selection process, but it can also be used for training and development purposes.

The In-Basket Technique in Action

Participants in an In-Basket Technique exercise are presented with a set of materials that mimic a typical day in the job role they are being evaluated for. These materials may include emails, memos, phone messages, and reports. Under a time constraint, participants must review the materials, prioritize tasks, and take appropriate action.
