IBM launches talent practice to improve organizational performance

IBM has announced new cloud-based solutions and a talent and change consulting practice to enable organizations to use analytics and workforce science.

This practice identifies top talent, deepen employee engagement and manage transformational change to provide differentiated client experiences.

The new offerings are delivered through IBM's Smarter Workforce initiative and draw upon the company's 25 years of workforce science expertise, a discipline that helps clients apply proven behavioral science, statistical analysis and psychological principles to improve employee engagement and organizational performance.

The offerings are supported by more than 100 behavioral scientists dedicated to helping clients use social, analytics and digital experience technologies to identify top performers, evaluate workforce readiness, and guard against future talent attrition.

The practice gives clients access to organizational change management methods, tools and expertise gained from thousands of client engagements and IBM's own transformation initiatives. It addresses four key areas; Organizational Change, Talent Analytics, Employee Experience and HR Cloud - with an overall focus on helping clients use cloud to deploy, manage and access their HR solutions and assets to drive business results.
