IBM solutions help organizations with workforce transformation

BANGALORE, INDIA: IBM announced that Bharti Airtel, HCL and Tata Motors are using IBM's cloud-based talent management software to improve productivity and efficiency and drive impactful business results.

By using Kenexa's employee engagement survey, which gives accurate measure of employee opinions, Airtel is now able to understand manageable factors that cause employees to be more productive, stay with the company for a longer period of time and care more deeply about the work they do. As a result, leadership is able to use this feedback to change management strategy, align it with key cultural factors and ultimately improve business performance.

Working with IBM, HCL replaced its home grown Smart Recruit candidate/requisition tracking system with a new Talent Acquisition solution that automates its entire recruitment process.

Tata Motors teamed up with IBM to study job fit within the organization by using an online system that also had the ability to screen candidates for the right position. The goal was to select candidates on various parameters such as those, who provide great customer service. Once Tata's pinpointed these characteristics, the company refocused its efforts on assessing and selecting the right people for open jobs.

IBM's Smarter Workforce initiatives help businesses capture and understand data and use these insights to empower their talent, manage expertise and optimize people-centric processes. It includes IBM's 2012 $1.3B acquisition of Kenexa's talent management, recruitment, compensation, engagement, leadership and assessment offerings.
