Case Study: Nationwide Building Society achieves data-driven leadership transformation with SHL

Nationwide Building Society saves 74% on executive assessing with SHL

Nationwide Building Society, the world's largest building society, faced the challenge of remaining relevant in a highly competitive market. To achieve this, it needed to empower its people and transform its organizational culture, requiring a shift in leadership focus from operational to visionary. The company partnered with SHL, utilizing its Occupational Personality Questionnaire and Motivation Questionnaire as part of a standardized assessment approach for senior executives.

Working in partnership with SHL, Nationwide co-created a solution that provided deep insight into its leadership population through custom reports and bespoke data dashboards. This analysis revealed leaders' strengths in strategic thinking and highlighted areas for development, enabling more informed people decisions. The solution delivered significant results for Nationwide, including a valid data view for 45% of its executive leaders and a 74% saving from the co-designed, in-house delivery of executive assessments. SHL's work helped Nationwide identify leaders who were two times more likely to apply "big picture" thinking.
