Overview

The Inbox (Day in Life) Simulation is an experiential simulation that reconstructs the “In-Tray: Out-Tray” assessor-led intervention & measures core managerial competencies.

Participants assume the role of a manager/leader and are expected to achieve business objectives, manage team performance and conflict, drive process adherence, and manage client escalations within the allotted time via a simulated email inbox.

The Inbox Simulation is available in 2 versions – auto scored and assessor scored (where the email responses are evaluated by assessors through Jombay’s Assessor dashboards.) It is also available in 8 industry variants – contextualized to the specific industry and talent challenges.

The Inbox (Day in Life) Simulation delivers results custom to your most critical business goals. When your business pivots, you can see how your leaders’ skills stack up in the new environment and obtain a clear view of how your leadership teams stack up.
