Intro to Talent Management Software, by Sarah White, HR Tech Blog
Talent management software according to a recent Forbes Magazine article by Josh Bersin, “has now become a mandatory part of corporate HR infrastructure.” In just a few years technology that was seen as a ‘nice to have’ or even ‘unnecessary’ addition to corporate human resources have become indispensable to Fortune 500 in today’s highly connected talent marketplace…
Most Important Function of the Future = HR, by Marc Coleman, HRN Europe
The most talented department of the future will (need to) be human resources. Organisations work fine, it is the people working in them who decide the outcome.
