Great article in BusinessWeek.com entitled The Web, Now Just for You. Some highlights and how this pertains to HRMS, HR, HCM and Talent Management technologies:
Tools that connect users together based on similar interests. THIS IS A POWERFUL FEATURE OF SOFTWARE AND PORTALS IN THE HR/HCM SPACE INTO THE FUTURE. * Recommendation tools such as "if you like this content, you might like this as well". THIS IS THE FUTURE OF THE PORTAL/INTRANET FOR EMPLOYEES AND MANAGERS. BEGIN THINKING HOW YOU CAN DO SOME OF THIS TODAY. * The Engagement Quotient is all about how long someone stays on a site. Now, we dont want employees hanging out on the site, but we do want them to find that they are looking for. I would call this for HR, THE RELATIVE ENGAGEMNET QUOTIENT. * Filtering tools are designed to only show users information relevant to them. THIS IS HR/PORTAL 2007 STUFF. START THIS NOW AS IT IS THE FUTURE.
HR has spent the last ten to fifteen years automating transactions. It is now time to take those automated transactions and wrap them with intelligent content and prescriptive information to drive a new age of employee experience.
Another infusion of knowledge..
