SHL, a world leader in objective assessment,
is launching its successful partner programme, the SHL Partner Network
(SPN), in the UK. With over 230 partners registered worldwide, SPN
provides independent psychologists, HR consultants and specialists
with privileged access to SHL products and information to enhance
the service they can provide their clients.
Independent psychologists and HR consultants play a key role in
the market for assessment products, often providing in depth sector
or local market knowledge that is invaluable to their clients. In
response to feedback from this community SHL has created the SHL
Partner Network to offer them more information and better access
to SHL products in ways that support their own businesses.
The SPN provides members with access to a range of support materials
including white papers, product information, norms and validation
studies. All of this is available via a password-protected website.
Nigel Thomas, director of alliances and channels, at SHL, commented; “We
have created the SPN in response to feedback from the marketplace
and we hope that it will be a win-win for all parties. Independent
psychologists and consultants can enhance the services they offer
with simple to deploy SHL assessments, whilst SHL benefits from partnering
with local and industry-experts that have strong relationships with
organisations around the country. The SPN is also rapidly becoming
a global community that helps local specialists reach and work with
their peers around the world.”
Charles Rowett, managing director of Pragmatis, a specialist change
management consultancy and SPN member: “As independent consultants
we must ‘punch above our weight’ and the SPN provides
us with opportunities to extend our relationships with large corporate
clients, especially with regards to leadership and organisational
development. The association with SHL and the world-wide reputation
of their products will help us to continue to grow our business nationally
and internationally.”
Elizabeth Battle HR Manager at TAC Europe, a technical recruitment
specialist who recently joined the SPN, commented “The hiring
of a new employee is one of the most important decisions a manager
is called upon to make. TAC Europe in partnership with SHL has the
tools to ensure that our clients are equipped to make the right recruitment
decisions – first time.”
