Saba Customers Transform Employee Development Experience in EMEA
Talent Management leader helps customers meet changing employee expectations and fuel business growth through modern talent solutions and strong partnerships
BRACKNELL, United Kingdom, Jan. 11, 2018 /PRNewswire/ - Saba, a leading provider of people-centric talent management solutions, today announced continued customer success and partner momentum across the EMEA region.
Employers throughout the EMEA region are facing skills shortages and lower employee engagement and retention, and are searching for new ways to balance the changing expectations of employees and company business needs. According to a recent CIPD Employee Outlook report1,more than a quarter of employees in Europe want more opportunities to learn and grow, yet within the past year, a mere 41 per cent of employees received feedback and recognition on their performance.
Saba customers throughout the region are successfully using Saba's talent platform to transform the employee development experience, increase employee engagement, and strategically align talent programmes to their business goals.
Transforming the Employee Experience
"Using Saba is helping elevate performance and learning conversations to become a constant dialogue between line managers and their employees, rather than the previous annual development conversation," said Jason Flynn, Global Learning Director, GfK. "This is helping us build a more vibrant internal talent pipeline with more vacancies eventually being filled by internal candidates. We are developing our employees by improving their skills, thus enabling better talent acquisition and retention."
