Collaborative technology helps align workforce skills with business strategy

Nottingham, United Kingdom – (22/08/2012) – Studies have shown that talent management and business execution software can improve the performance of an entire business. A recent SuccessFactors survey found that 61% of organisations using collaborative technology found that employees were well or very well aligned to the corporate strategy and goals.
 
In the war for talent, technology holds the key. Workforce analytics and learning technologies can be instrumental in helping to establish the risk of a shortage of skills within your business and subsequently to develop the skills within your business in order to plug any gaps.
 
SuccessFactors also recently completed some research into employee perspectives on skills . Results show that with a skills shortage looming – you need to protect and nurture the skills you have within your business. As a result of rapid technological development, an ageing workforce and misaligned education structures – there will be some skills in your business which are in high demand.
 
The research revealed that 58% of employees would consider leaving if they were not offered training and development.  With some key skills being increasingly in demand due to a shortage in supply, can you afford not to assess the risk and put effective learning strategies in place?
 
Since organisations vary greatly, it is important for business leaders to understand the worth of talent management technology on their workforce’s capabilities. They can do this by taking a 90 second benchmarking test to see how their company compares to others. Immediate recommendations on what you can do to improve and where to get guidance on creating a winning talent management strategy are made.
