IBM today announced the software-as-service (SaaS)-based IBM Kenexa Talent
Suite that allows Chief Human Resources Officers (CHROs) and C-Suite
executives to gain actionable insights into the deluge of data shared
every day by their workforce. As a result, organizations can now
streamline, modernize and add precision to hiring practices, increase
workforce productivity and connect employees in ways that impact
business results.
Organizations around the world today are on a mission to identify and
hire top talent. By hiring precisely the right employees and then
arming them with powerful social tools, businesses can more effectively
manage and develop their workforce and put them into the position to
succeed.
With the IBM Kenexa Talent Suite, HR professionals can
look at large volumes of employee data – such as work experience, social
engagement, skills development and individual interests – to identify
the qualities that make top performers successful. Organizations and
teams can then use those models to pursue candidates through additional
targeted social marketing on social recruiting sites, where job seekers
matching the profile are automatically connected with opportunities
matching their skills.
Customers can accelerate the onboarding
and the integration of new hires through IBM Connections capabilities.
This helps employees share information and find the right experts to
accelerate learning and increase productivity and engagement, while at
the same time providing a way for leaders to more effectively manage
their teams. Through analytics and reporting, line of business leaders
can better understand emerging employee trends and more effectively
manage each individual's career path in areas like skill attainment,
performance appraisals, compensation, succession planning and more.
"We
know people are the lifeblood of an organization, and business success
on today's stage requires not just talent but social capabilities that
can energize, empower and nurture each team member so they can reach
their full potential," said Craig Hayman,
General Manager, Industry Cloud Solutions, IBM. "By combining social,
behavioral science and analytics in the cloud, we give businesses a
clear path to empower their most valued asset – employees."
Interested customers can complement the Suite with Watson Foundations, a comprehensive, integrated set of Big Data and Analytics
capabilities that enable clients to find and capitalize on actionable
insights. Watson Foundations provides the tools and capabilities to tap
into relevant data – regardless of source or type – and apply a full
range of analytics to gain fresh insights in real-time, securely across
an enterprise.
Using Watson Foundations customers will be able to
conduct a deeper level of analysis on key workforce-related data,
identify trends within the workforce, predict future trends and
proactively take action. Executives can also look at the profiles and
work performance of their top employees and determine the appropriate
type of rewards needed to keep them engaged.
According to an upcoming IBM C-Suite study
that surveyed 342 CHROs representing 18 industries, many businesses are
not taking full advantage of the insights delivered by workforce big
data and analytics. The study found that just over half of organizations
are using workforce analytics, with far fewer applying predictive analytics
to optimize decision making and outcomes in areas such as sourcing and
recruiting (7 percent), employee engagement and commitment (9 percent)
and talent development (10 percent), retention (13 percent).
The
CHRO study also found that human resources executives are in the early
stages of applying social approaches within the organization. Currently,
66 percent are regularly using social for their recruiting efforts, but
only 41 percent are using it for learning 31 percent for knowledge
sharing.
Today leading businesses such as AMC
are benefiting from IBM talent management software. AMC, one of the
world's premier entertainment companies, uses recruitment technologies
from IBM to gain a deep understanding through data analytics of what it
takes to succeed at the organization. AMC then uses that knowledge to
attract candidates who are more likely to succeed once they're hired.
"Harnessing
the power of data gives us a better picture of what top talent looks
like in our industry. IBM's talent management solutions allow us to use
data in new ways so we can make better informed decisions that have a
greater impact on our business," said Heather Jacox, Director, Diversity, Recruitment & Development at AMC.

- Talent Acquisition: Includes recruitment, skill and behavioral science-based assessments and onboarding. These integrated functions are designed to provide a deep understanding of what the best talent looks like and then how to attract, hire and engage them.
