Human beings are known for a myriad of things, but most importantly, they are known for getting better on a consistent basis. This progressive tendency of ours has already enabled us to hit upon some huge milestones, with technology appearing as a major member of the stated group. The reason why we hold technology in such a high regard is largely predicated upon its skill-set, which realized all the possibilities for us that nobody could have ever imagined otherwise. Nevertheless, if we look a little bit closer, it should become clear 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 consequentially, kickstarted a tech revolution. This revolution, in turn, will go on to scale up the human experience from all conceivable directions, but even after achieving such a monumental feat, technology will somehow continue to deliver every right good in the book. The same has grown to become a lot more evident in recent times, and truth be told, a newly-launched platform can only make that trend bigger and better moving forward.
Gloat, the leading provider of workforce agility and the pioneer of AI-powered Talent Marketplace, has officially unveiled its new platform called My Team, which is designed to let companies manage their workforce in a more efficient and hassle-free manner. But how does it make the stated operation possible? Well, for starters, My Team delivers an avenue through which you can gain an insight into each employee’s skill-set and how it stacks up against their role and the wider industry standards. Apart from that, it gives management a view of the worker’s goals and aspirations and what things they must focus on, if they are to achieve those ambitions. As a part of the stated feature, My Team can also map out personalized career pathways for every single employee so to give the initiatives of developing them a much better chance at succeeding. Moving on, the platform even encourages employees to give themselves a rating and then compare it with what their manager feels is an optimal score. This is supposed to bolster transparent conversations and help every individual in conceiving a more honest view of their current capabilities.
“For the modern employee, their performance is more sophisticated than annual scores and ratings,” said Ayala Michelson, vice president of product and analytics at Gloat. “As the market evolves and new technologies and skills emerge, we need a better way to facilitate ongoing development conversations. Managers and employees should actually look forward to these meetings—not dread them. Our platform is building dynamic connection points that align to the unique strengths, interests and opportunity areas for each employee. My Team creates the structure and support needed to facilitate the varied and rich career paths today’s employees are looking for.”
My Team’s launch provides an interesting follow-up to one World Economic Forum report, which claims that nearly 50% of employees will need to be reskilled by 2025. This is mainly because of our outdated performance review procedures. You see, with things moving at a really quick pace under technology’s stewardship, it’s no longer viable for us to stick to those rigid and pre-determined performance frameworks. Hence, by letting companies monitor every employee in real-time, My Team will hope to usher the world into a whole new era of employee management.
