Winslow Behavioral Assessments

Most organizations understand the significant costs of making a bad hiring or promotional decision. The fact is most resumes contain exaggerated, subjective information, and strict employment laws make it nearly impossible to obtain useful information from prior employers. Promotions are made with the best of intentions, however often a strong independent contributor does not have the skills to manage people.

SDEA has a special offer for members to help you hire the best for your organization—Winslow Behavioral Assessments. The Winslow Assessments will help you hire the best available applicants for every position within your organization, enhance the performance of current employees; and retain your valuable human resources. The Winslow Assessment is a web-based assessment that can be given to your applicants at the time of an interview for immediate results.

Why Should You Choose the Winslow?

It Exceeds Legal Requirements for Hiring. Only properly validated assessments can be used in hiring which are only those instruments that compare the person to a clear set of job requirements, and those that are not solely used to measure the person in the abstract. This assessment can be used for both selection and development to provide consistency of information. Once hired, this same assessment may be used as a development tool to indicate training needs and managerial effectiveness.

The Results Are Valid. Research shows that 30% of all assessments are not valid. There is no assessment other than the Winslow that refuses to print a repot if the participant’s answers lack objectivity and accuracy. Those participating in the Winslow Assessment will be required to retake the assessment if they do not demonstrate accuracy and objectivity.

The Technology Allows Ease of Use. Having profiles available via the Internet allows participants fast and easy access to take the assessment in one hour while providing employers with instantaneous results the next. Companies have access to a system of components in order to compare the individual to various positions, to their manager, or to their team members.

For most organizations, the cost of assessing an applicant with a Winslow Assessment is less than one day’s wage for that applicant—an insignificant amount when compared to hiring and training a person who will fail.

The Winslow is available in three levels of assessments. To find out which assessment best suits your hiring needs, or for more information, email info@sdea.com or call 858-679-7332. You can also go to www.winslowreports.com to take a sample assessment.
