Talent management provider SHL has been named HR Assessment Company of the Year by Human Capital Management at the Annual Human Resources Awards 2011 – 2012 in Greater China. The Awards, currently in their fifth year, selected the winner based on proven results, positive impact and customer feedback.
Mike Tims, Vice President, Asia, Middle East and Africa, SHL commented, “Winning HR Assessment Company of the Year is a significant accomplishment, and great recognition of SHL as the leader in talent measurement and a global authority on the science of people in the workplace. We will remain committed to transforming the way talent is assessed, hired and managed.”
China has made economic transformation a national strategy from 2011. As a key step of transformation, national talent strategy provides a huge growth potential for the talent assessment sector, and also brings the talent assessment sector under the spotlight. According to the National Program for Medium and Long-term Talent Development (2010 - 2020), there will be 42 million business management talents by 2020. The enormous demand for developing business management talents is gradually promoting talent assessment from being a branch of HR development and putting it back into the mainstream.
