"The reason for choosing a partner for us, for such a demanding 360° Feedback project, is purely the many years of experience that the Evalion-SHL company has, the scientific staff it has, the tools it uses and the human-centered approach it has followed all these years. After all, I have my own experience of other projects in the past, how they came to fruition, the degree of acceptance by colleagues and the value they added to the organizations."
