New Features and Integrations Drive Pervasive Learning throughout Company Culture to Develop and Secure Top Talent.
SumTotal Systems, LLC, a Skillsoft company and a leading provider of next-generation HR solutions, today announced its latest Talent Expansion® suite enhancements, which feature new ways for organizations to proactively engage, develop and retain employees so they can continue to differentiate and compete in today’s rapidly evolving business world. The company will showcase its new Talent Expansion capabilities and future innovations – including smart watch technology, user-generated mobile video content and new role- and event-based talent dashboards – at the 2014 HR Technology Conference, which kicked off yesterday in Las Vegas.
A 2012 McKinsey Global Institute report projected that the global labor market will face a deficit of nearly 85 million skilled workers within the next five years[1]. Organizations will be challenged to address this crisis if they rely solely on traditional HR approaches and recruiting, and they must shift their focus to identifying and developing talent from within their workforces to stay competitive.
“More than 25 years ago, Peter Senge, a lecturer at the MIT Sloan School of Business and founder of the Society for Organizational Learning, stated that the rate at which organizations and individuals learn may well become the only sustainable competitive advantage. This has never been truer than in today’s hypercompetitive, virtual and increasingly mobile world,” said Humair Ghauri, senior vice president of engineering at SumTotal. “Today, business success is based on our ability to rapidly acquire and apply new knowledge and cultivate an evergreen source of talent. Velocity is achieved through pervasive learning, and leadership in the market is earned and sustained through workforce adaptability. This is the Learning Age, and it demands a learning-centric approach to talent development and management that delivers tailored learning experiences designed to increase employee skills and readiness.”
The latest enhancements to SumTotal’s learning-centric Talent Expansion platform enable customers to drive learning to the core of their company culture and provide managers and employees the tools and information they need, when and where they need them, to develop and become tomorrow’s leaders.
