Combining world-class software with experienced global services, Softscape enables organisations to more successfully tap into its most valuable assets - its people. Softscape’s web-based solutions increase the productivity of your people, optimise resource planning and allocation, reduce operational costs, motivate employees and managers, align the workforce with business objectives, and drive overall business performance.
Softscape TalentNet is the social networking and Web 2.0 platform embedded into Softscape’s people management platform, Softscape Apex®. As social networking continues to move beyond consumer-
oriented applications to directly impact businesses, the use of these tools in the context of HR is poised for the largest growth (189%) among all people management technologies in 2009, according to a Softscape Research survey conducted in late 2008.
Unlike popular external tools such as Facebook, MySpace, or LinkedIn, Softscape TalentNet enables companies to maximise the value of social networking and Web 2.0 without the risk or liability of employees using external networks not within organisational control.
Key Features:
- Create Connections: Enable employees to create informal networks. These networks are proven to help employees connect to the right person faster, improving overall performance.
- Create & Join Groups: Enable employees to leverage the power of communities and groups. Groups can share information using wikis, blogs, and discussion forums, thereby facilitating collabourative learning and connection development (i.e., networking). These associations lead to significantly faster time-to-productivity and better employee retention.
- Self Publishing: All employees can publish content and ideas using their own wikis, blogs, and discussion forums.
- Learning Communities: Learning administrators can have participants automatically become part of a course group, enabling them to share stories and best practices on applying what they have learned.
- Group Directory: Easily view and search for groups and communities to join.
Key Benefits:
- Improve overall workforce performance and time-to-productivity by getting people on-boarded and connected faster
