The human arsenal has always been a little on the loaded side, and yet it has never possessed anything more significant than that desire of ours to grow on a consistent basis. We say this because the stated desire has already brought the world some huge milestones, with technology appearing as a rather unique member of the group. The reason why technology’s credentials are so anomalous is based on its skill-set, which was unprecedented enough to realize all the possibilities for us that we couldn’t have imagined otherwise. Nevertheless, a closer look should be able to reveal how the whole runner was also very much inspired by the way we applied those skills across a real world environment. The latter component was, in fact, what gave the creation a spectrum-wide presence and made it the ultimate centerpiece of every horizon. Now, having such a powerful tool run the show did scale up our experience through many different directions, but even after reaching so far ahead, this prodigious concept called technology will somehow continue delivering the goods. The same has turned a lot more evident in recent times, and assuming one HRM-themed partnership ends up with the desired impact, it will only make that trend bigger and better moving forward.
Betterworks, the leader in modern performance management solutions, has officially finalized a partnership with Visier to let HR leaders leverage deep people insights and gain a better understanding of how to optimize their workforce. According to certain reports, Betterworks will integrate Visier’s analytics engine into its offering, Betterworks Advanced Analytics. Once the stated integration is completed, the resulting power-packed solution will be able to assist users in regards to developing targeted strategies for improving performance, engagement, and realizing holistic organizational success. But what shape these benefits are likely to take on a more practical note? Well, both Betterworks and Visier will apply a deep comprehension of the factors that enable or inhibit employee performance and engagement. Markedly enough, the idea behind using such factors isn’t just about improving performance across an immediate future, but it should also be of huge utility when trying to retain talent over a longer period and reduce employee turnover. Anyway, the integration further makes a point to reveal differences in career coaching, developmental opportunities, performance ratings, and other activities for different groups, thus ensuring parity around stuff like employee performance enablement and career advancement. Of course, given the whole development is materializing within a business environment, the partnership will allow you to create a platform where you can observe the business value of different earning and development (L&D) initiatives.
“Betterworks Advanced Analytics enables companies to uncover hidden patterns by unlocking the wealth of data they have around employee goals, feedback, check-in conversations, performance ratings, calibration data, and much more. We are thrilled about our partnership and investment in a robust platform like Visier in this next phase of Betterworks’ analytics journey,” said Arnaud Grunwald, chief product officer at Betterworks
The collaboration provides an interesting follow-up to The State of People Analytics 2022-23 report, which revealed that only 29% of HR professionals believed their organization is good at making positive changes based on people analytics. The reasons for such a dismal percentage touch on a sheer lack of integrated data, considering many companies have their datasets stored in scattered silos. Then, there is also an inconvenience of complex tools. You see, while there are umpteenth data analytic tools available at our disposal, most are hard to implement alongside your existing workflow, thus rendering the issue unresolved.
Surely, Betterworks’ technology and its experience in serving industry leaders like Colgate-Palmolive, Intuit, Freddie Mac, Asurion, Udemy, Vertiv, HCSC, and the University of Phoenix will be useful in making this partnership a success, but mind you, Visier’s role won’t be any less crucial. Founded in 2010, Visier is best known for generating in-depth people insights so to enhance the operation of people-driven businesses. So far, the company has served more than 25,000 customers, and it has done so across 75 countries. Among the clients Visier has serviced, we also have some big names like BASF, Bridgestone, Electronic Arts, McKesson, MerckKGaA, and more.
“What Visier is best at is connecting data on people into the insights that improve business outcomes,” said Dave Weisbeck, chief strategy officer at Visier. “With Betterworks, there is an amazingly rich set of engagement, performance, and skills data that comes from their modern approach to performance management, and so we couldn’t be more excited about being an embedded partner with Betterworks so that we can help them unlock those insights for their customers.”
