A SHL Case Study
The Adecco Group, a Fortune Global 500 HR solutions company, faced a challenge in its leadership development and internal hiring. Their process was overly subjective, leading to a mismatch between identified talent and actual promotions and a higher-than-desired rate of external hiring. To address this, they partnered with vendor SHL for a more objective, data-driven approach.
SHL implemented its context-based Leader Edge Solution, which used the SHL Occupational Personality Questionnaire (OPQ) to assess leaders against the specific challenges of their roles. This provided precise data on skills and readiness, allowing for tailored development plans. As a result, the Adecco Group gained greater confidence in promoting from within, significantly reduced the risk associated with external hires, and increased the success rate of internal leadership placements.
