Burning Questions: Won’t This Take Forever To Roll Out?
As part of our on-going Burning Questions series we’re diving into the topics, concerns, and questions that we hear about most commonly when we speak with HR professionals and leaders who are embarking on skills management initiatives. This week we’re wrapping up the series by taking a look at a question we get a lot when talking to prospects, “Won’t This Take Forever To Roll Out?”
At some level everything comes down to time. So asking how long a skills management initiative would take to roll out is a natural question; especially if you have first-hand experience with the type of manual and labor-intensive skills management initiatives that have been commonplace at organizations over the past two decades.
Well, lucky for you, that’s exactly the problem that Visual Workforce set out to solve. We feel your pain and know just how hard skills management can be with the traditional tools that organizations have been forced to rely on for years. When it comes to manually collecting and analyzing skills data, we have been there, done that, and we never want you to have to do it again.
With Visual Workforce, skills management initiatives don’t need to be year-long or even six-month projects. Organizations can leverage out-of-the-box skills libraries, a powerful survey engine, and pre-built visualizations so they can collect and catalogue data about their employees’ skills and proficiencies and start generating valuable insights about their workforce in days, not weeks or months.
Start With a Leg Up
Leverage industry-specific skills libraries to quickly build out desired skill sets for different positions. Our skills libraries cover dozens of industries, hundreds of job roles, and thousands of unique skills and can give any organization a head start when it comes to skills management. Whether you work in consulting, advertising, retail, engineering, or anywhere in between, we have skills libraries that will help you get the ball rolling.
Spend Time on What Really Matters
Eliminate the manual work required to track and catalogue individual skills through our powerful survey engine. Survey thousands of employees with just a few clicks, quickly collect employee and manager assessments, and send reminders at the touch of a button. All so you can spend more time finding insights and running your business and less time updating data in Excel.
Transform Data into Powerful Insights
Get answers in seconds through powerful, pre-built visualizations that automatically populate as data flows into the system through the survey engine. Our intuitive visualizations are designed to help you answer tough, real-world questions about your people, and are built with managers and HR professionals – not data scientists – in mind.
Embracing skills management and workforce visualization has never been more important than it is right now. As organizations continue down the path of digital transformation and remake their business to compete in the global economy, clear insight into the skills, capabilities, and proficiencies of their people will become a central piece in nearly all strategic planning discussions. This data has the power to transform the way that decisions are made across the enterprise and impact the way everyone operates on a day-to-day basis.
