The challenge
The Greek team of Bausch + Lomb sought to enhance the development of its workforce through a structured and reliable assessment and development program.
The need was twofold:
- To accurately capture the potential of the Sales Representatives.
- To establish a process that would strengthen self-awareness and lead to targeted development plans.
The solution
Evalion-SHL took on the design and implementation of a Development Center, specifically tailored to the structure and needs of the Sales Department. The methodology was based on internationally recognized tools, ensuring both validity and depth of analysis.
The tools and methods used included:
- SHL OPQ (Occupational Personality Questionnaire)
- SHL MQ (Motivation Questionnaire)
- Role Plays & Case Studies
- Validation Interviews
Through this process, the skills, leadership capabilities, and future potential of each participant were assessed. Individual feedback sessions followed, during which personalized development plans (IDPs) were created and a shared “language of development” was established within the team.
