Perhaps you’ve arrived at this page because of serious insights derived from a Leadership Snapshot. Or, perhaps you find yourself with vast marketplace opportunities. Maybe you recognize serious conflicts between your team members or excessive turnover of new employees. Whatever the staff-related issue, we have a Business Solution for you.
Winslow Personality Profiles: An incredibly high percentage of career failures are directly attributed to some aspect of human behavior. When individuals fail, it’s infrequently because of a lack of education, experience, training, or skills. On the contrary, they often fail because their personality is incompatible with the behavioral requirements of their job.
The Winslow Development Reports explain why some people function well and why others perform unsatisfactorily. The Reports enable employees to capitalize on their personality assets and control behaviors that are limiting or preventing success. This proven program is a valuable aid in achieving and maintaining optimum personnel performance.
Performance Coaching: Our profile will identify immediate growth opportunities for each relevant individual. Our performance coaching will offer transformational solutions for any individual who needs this service.
Training & Certification: Winslow University offers a number of courses to promote the value of professional development. Building on the foundation of these courses, we provide certification programs in three categories: Certified Coach, Certified Leadership Specialist, and Certified Selection Specialist. This approach brings performance coaching and sophisticated hiring processes in-house. Additionally, an organization can easily offer continuing education, which differentiates our clients firms from their competitors.
Management Consulting: Our Leadership Snapshot often discovers subtle and glaring gaps in the management processes of our client firms. Upon request, Winslow Solutions designs and offers management consulting services to those firms. We are known for proposing and implementing valuable processes that solve problems quickly and expand a client’s value proposition.
At other times, executives notice subtle market opportunities which require sophisticated, scalable staffing & management systems to enable rapid growth. Strategic planning and succession strategies are often needed in such circumstances as well.
In addition to these four opportunities, Winslow Solutions is preparing to offer forums and Apps for areas of Staff Development.
The Winslow Staff Development Program is designed to enhance the performance of all your current employees. The Winslow Profile measures the personality, behavior, and attitudes of each team member to a precise degree. Our Reports provide feedback on each participant’s behavior and compares it to the behavioral requirements for their specific position. The user-friendly system enables management to administer their assessment portal and to retain control over the process. For an additional fee, team members can become certified as described above.

The Profile requires 30-60 minutes to complete. It contains special control questions to determine if the participant’s answers are both accurate and objective. The System will not produce a Report when results are invalid. Note: Approximately 30% of the participants will have invalid results on their first assessment and must retake it. This occurs when participants provide answers they think will generate desirable results. Other individuals unintentionally exaggerate their answers.
All three Winslow Reports, Executive, Manager and Participant, are available immediately when the participant has accurate and objective assessment results.
Color-coded overlays present the results of the Position Analysis in a user-friendly format. They are coordinated with the Personality Profiles in all reports and indicate the desirable and undesirable scoring ranges for every behavior relevant to success in each position. These profiles can help dramatically when trying to make an effective Employee Development Plan.
Composite profiles are prepared for any groups of participants you desire. Group Average and Distribution Profiles enable management to identify the strengths and synergies of groups of personnel, and are valuable in managing groups as teams.
Color-coded overlays are provided for each Group Profile to facilitate comparisons between participants and groups, managers and groups, and one group to another. This component also allows your managers to make correlation between behavior and performance.

The user-friendly system enables organizations to administer their assessment activity and have total control over the process.

The Winslow Internet System enables you to purchase Profile Passwords online using a bank account or any credit/debit card. Discounts are offered when quantities of Passwords are purchased. When purchases are made, the Passwords are immediately placed in your “Available Passwords” account.
When you want to assess an applicant you go to the “Activate Assessment Password” function on your Winslow Website. Basic information is entered to identify the Participant. The PCS Position of the applicant is selected. The System sends a form to the printer with the participant’s name, password and directions for completing the Profile. An email with this information can be sent to the applicant.
To make certain the applicant is the person who completes the Profile, applicants should be monitored in the client’s offices. The Profile takes less than one hour to complete and contains special control question to determine if the participant’s answers are both accurate and objective. The System will not produce a Report when results are invalid. Approximately 30% of the applicants will have invalid results on their first assessment and must retake the Profile. This happens because some applicants give answers they think will provide desirable results. Others unintentionally exaggerate their answers because of a strong ego.
Reports are available immediately to management when the applicant has accurate and objective assessment results. There are four versions of the Winslow Reports. The Executive Report contains a Personality Profile displaying the 24 trait scores and a Position Compatibility Form. When applicants are hired, the Manager’s Report is given to the manager of the employee and the Participant’s Report is given to your new employee. The PCS Summary Form is placed in the applicants file. (Please refer to all versions of the Winslow Reports).
The Position Compatibility Summary (PCS) Form presents the assessment data and behavioral requirements for each applicant on one color-coded page. The PCS Form compiles the results of a comprehensive, sophisticated assessment system into an easy to interpret document that simplifies the selection process. Management can then establish the cut-off” point on qualifying scores to determine whether applicants should be offered a position. The four major considerations are the “Participant’s Net PCS Score,” the number of “Concern Trait Scores,” any negative “Trait Group Scores,” and the “Key Characteristics” score.
