Peoplefluent Changes Enterprise Collaboration and Engagement Landscape with Launch of Breakthrough Social HCM Product Suite
New Suite Unlocks Intellectual Assets within Organization by Creating People-Centric Social Platform to Accelerate Workflow and Increase Productivity
HR Tech's "Awesome Product" Winner Leapfrogs Existing Social Apps with Comprehensive Product Redesign, Deep Social Layering and Compelling Personalization
CHICAGO, Oct. 8, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Peoplefluent®, a leading human capital management technology company, today announced its updated Social HCM Product Suite. With an enhanced end-to-end Talent Management suite, the Company is delivering a first-of-its-kind Social HCM Platform designed to dramatically accelerate collaboration workflow, increase productivity and inspire expanded employee engagement. Moving away from current social models, which are often siloed or isolated within groups or functions, Peoplefluent's Social HCM Suite delivers a comprehensive and interactive enterprise social networking strategy to organizations that enables new Human Resources solutions that interact with knowledge resources across the organization.
"The Human Resources team is taking a leadership role in transforming individual knowledge into corporate wisdom to inspire innovation and to accelerate the profitability and success of organizations around the world," said Gerry Murphy, President and CEO of Peoplefluent. "We have listened to our customers, we have studied market dynamics and demographics, and we have taken our time to create a fully differentiated HCM solution for the Social Enterprise. With today's news, we redefine Social HCM by delivering a dynamic enterprise 'brain trust' through a social platform, woven throughout all Talent Management disciplines, that is focused more on people than on process. We are deeply committed to unlocking the intellectual assets and advancing the innovation inherent, yet untapped, in our customer organizations around the world."
With a heritage of innovation, recognized most recently with selection as a top HR product of the year by Human Resource Executive®for its mobile applications and selection for the "Awesome New Technologies for HR" session at the HR Technology® Conference & Expo for its newest Social HCM Suite, Peoplefluent has, again, built a product from the ground up, which brings to life a social, mobile and visual analytics experience to meet employees when, where and how they want to engage.
"Enterprise Social Networking has become a mainstream priority for the majority of organizations and has completely replaced the stagnant environment delivered by the corporate Intranet. Employers are realizing quickly that connecting people, processes and information into live 'knowledge hubs' fuels and nourishes idea flow and helps workers share, update and collaborate faster and more effectively," said Jim Lundy, Founder and CEO of Aragon Research. "The new Social HCM Product Suite delivered by Peoplefluent is a productivity strategy focused more on what employees know and how they can apply their knowledge and experience to advance the business than on their user ID and departmental silo."
Peoplefluent's Social HCM environment intersects with and enables all elements associated with an employee lifecycle providing engaging, robust and collaborative experiences with onboarding, ongoing performance management, real-time compensation analysis, and continuous learning opportunities. Powerful analytics and data, video and content resource libraries, social networks, collaborative workspaces, corporate news feeds, workflow analysis, and dynamic and ongoing user interaction accelerate knowledge transfer and enable dynamic and deeply informed decision-making. Specific product applications portal features will include:
Portal Applications
-- The Enterprise Profile - an employee's single profile that contains both
talent management data (including work history, education, imported
learning data and performance) as well as social data (including
conversations and tags).
