Case Study: Bristol-Myers Squibb drives culture change with SHL HIPO assessments and targeted development

Bristol-Myers Squibb uses HIPO assessments and targeted development to enable culture change

Bristol-Myers Squibb, a global biopharmaceutical company, faced the challenge of transforming its culture to become a more agile and innovative biopharma leader. To succeed, it needed to embed its core values of Passion, Accountability, Speed, and Innovation at every level and develop its managers to foster greater accountability. The company partnered with vendor SHL to address this need.

SHL implemented its high-potential (HIPO) assessments and a targeted, cloud-based development solution for BMS managers in Italy. This approach enabled on-the-job learning tailored to individual needs. The results were highly positive, with 99% of appraisers witnessing positive behavioral changes in participants. SHL's solution helped BMS drive its culture change, saved HR time, and provided a foundation for a more strategic HR function.
