Employee performance management (EPM) has long been a mainstay of most organizations, yet remains fraught with imprecision and dissatisfaction. Rather than serve as an opportunity for providing direction, growth, and alignment, employee performance management is most often viewed as a necessary evil. While over 600 individuals responded to a recent survey (and 95% reported regularly conducting performance reviews), only 11% indicate that they are very satisfied with the current process utilized by their organization. There is clearly a disconnect between the concept of employee management and a successful execution. This report is a roadmap for companies who desire to increase user satisfaction and utilization through Best in Class use of employee performance management.
A generational and skills gap, due in large part to the mass of retiring babyboomers, is forcing companies to view talent acquisition as an organizational priority. This report, by Kevin Martin, is a compilation of responses from more than 600 organizations and provides a roadmap for companies who desire to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of talent acquisition through Best-in-Class strategies and pursuits.
Hiring and retaining top talent is the driving concern of human capital management (HCM) professionals today. This research report, Retaining Talent: Retention and Succession Planning in the Corporate Workplace, is sponsored by Profiles International, Inc. and is the latest in Aberdeen’s continuing study of workforce management and the business processes involved in the employee lifecycle.
Employers use skill tests and behavioral assessments to ascertain the ability of the applicant and the likelihood of his or her success in both the organization and the position itself. This research report, Pre-employment Testing and Assessments: What is the State of the Art?, sponsored by Profiles International, Inc. is the latest in Aberdeen’s long history of research on hiring management. The report explores the use of testing and assessment as part of the hiring process today and companies’ plans to use it in the future.
