The Personnel Assessment Department of the JSC Russian Railways was estab-lished at the Russian Railways Corporate University. The Personnel Assess-ment Department is a methodological and methodical center of development and implementation of modern standards, technology and corporate compe-tence assessment tools. Specialists of the department develop a program of personnel assessment evaluation in accordance with the Russian Railways corporate competences model.
