ADVANCE - THE SHL RESEARCH PARTNER PROGRAMME
Advance is a client research partner program that matches new products to organisations’ needs. Programme participants get early access to new assessments and experience first-hand their impact on business outcomes in return for feedback and data. By taking an active role in the development of assessments, our partners get the opportunity to shape the tools they will use in their talent programmes.
Key partnership benefits
The Advance program includes:
- Free business outcome / validity study – Receive a free business outcome /validity study that measures the degree to which the assessment predicts relevant business metrics.
- Input and feedback – Have input into the design and creation of the assessment product.
- Try before you buy – Preview the latest assessments before they are released for sale.
- Local norms study – Receive a local norms study which describes the distribution of assessment scores observed with your employees.
- Employee feedback – Assessment scores may be provided to employees who participate in this research. This type of feedback can be used to help identify strengths and developmental opportunities, and allows your employees to gauge their skill level in various areas.
