This is the age of the empowered employee. A smarter workforce not only saves time for the company, but it also reinvents the way word done, doing much more than a mere job.
Helping companies identify their best talents and engage them better than before, IBM has unveiled new cloud-based solutions and a Talent and Change consulting practice. These offerings are available to clients through the company's Smarter Workforce initiative.
IBM is not new to employee engagement solutions. The company has been working in this domain for more than 25 years. The company brings in a powerful combination of behavioral science, statistical analysis and psychological principles to understand and improve employee engagement and the overall performance of the company.
IBM's new dedicated Talent and Change consulting practice helps companies to build a smarter, more connected workforce. This gives clients access to countless client engagements and the company's own transformation initiatives. IBM Talent and Change consulting practice primarily targets four key areas such as Organizational Change, Talent Analytics, Employee Experience and HR Cloud.
“Most successful organizations already view people as their most important differentiator in the market, yet many still struggle to unlock the true potential of their workforce," said Debbie Landers, General Manager, Smarter Workforce and Kenexa, IBM. "The new offerings give clients a more holistic, data-driven approach that uses workforce science to predict the best fit for an individual or team across a number of personal and organizational traits. They are designed to complement the expertise of business leaders and HR professionals.”
IBM analytics has been used for many other useful purposes. Recently, the company partnered with the Zambian Ministry of Health to offer citizens with improved access to 200 life saving drugs. This is an important development as public health sector in Zambia registers 100,000 deaths annually due to preventable and treatable diseases.
