Talent Management Software “To Go”

The next generation of talent management software has arrived with the mobile revolution. What if you could access cloud-based talent management software anytime, anywhere, from the convenience of your mobile phone? Thanks to the record spread of smartphone and tablet technology, truly mobile talent management has become a reality. With no download required, it’s easier than ever to search and review user profiles, complete 360 surveys and selection assessments at your convenience. More and more users everyday are handling critical job functions on the go. As a result, mobile support has become a must-have for any cutting-edge talent management solution.

BYOD Holds the Key

According to a 2012 survey by the Coalfire IT security firm, almost 85% of today’s employees are on board with the “Bring Your Own Device” trend in the workplace. They regularly blur the line between work use and personal use on their mobile device (even if that means bending the rules and tweeting on the clock). It’s time for talent management solutions to start taking advantage of these trends. 

Imagine being able to deploy talent management software that’s not just web-based but truly accessible from anywhere. Participants can receive an invitation on their smartphone from HR, log in securely at their convenience and complete the assigned task. In short, because users already have (and are familiar with) the necessary hardware, increased user adoption and acceptance of talent management software are likely benefits.

Mobile 360 Surveys

The 360 review is an example of a performance appraisal tool that is ideal for mobile. The collaborative and social aspects of this type of review mesh perfectly with the way most people already use their smartphones and other web-enabled mobile devices. So, offering an opinion about a coworker’s performance will seem like second nature as well.
