Traditional employee profile applications have promised much, but delivered very little business value to the organization.
According to analyst Leighanne Levensaler from Bersin and Associates: "While profile management may seem like just another "bell or whistle" feature set promoted by marketing teams, we believe it is a critical aspect of this juggernaut called integrated talent management... Profile management is a key system feature to support integrated talent planning and management." She says "Halogen customers will not have to worry" about the current problems with existing employee profiles; Halogen "does a great job!"
Halogen’s next generation Talent Profiles that ship standard with eAppraisal™ Financial Services now provide:
- Flexible, configurable profile categories so you can capture any data that’s important to your business – not just standard preconfigured fields.
- Unlimited options for how profiles are viewed in your firm. Highly secure and customizable views allow the right individuals to see/edit the right information.
- Superior, intuitive searching and comparison capabilities.
Get a Complete Picture of Your Employees' Talents
Unlike other employee profile offerings on the market today, you can configure Halogen's next generation Talent Profile categories to gather any and all data that is important to your financial organization, including things like:
- Career goals
- Work history
- Past appraisals, talent assessments, learning and compensation history (content is pulled from the Halogen suite)
- Language skills, formal education, and professional certifications
- Hobbies, interests and volunteer activities
- Relocation preferences
- Photos
- And anything else that's relevant to your business!
Engage Employees and Keep Their Talent Profiles Up-to-Date
Employee profiles should be more than just a static collection of data that is incomplete or quickly out of date. Get the current information you want and need.
- Include a task in your performance appraisal or talent assessment process, or create a separate process, requiring employees to regularly update their Talent Profiles
- Send automated email reminders to anyone who hasn't completed the task on time
- Easily track the status of updates
Employees get an easy to use interface where they can record their capabilities, career aspirations, preferences and more. HR, managers, team leaders and decision-makers get centralized access to useful, up-to-date information when making vital decisions about talent.
Give Useful Access While Maintaining Confidentiality and Security
Security limitations with traditional employee profile systems mean they typically provide only two profile views: a “public view" that is very limited because it is searchable by all employees, and an administrator/manager view that shows detailed, but confidential employee information. This severely limits the usefulness of your talent profiles.
Halogen eAppraisal Financial Services' highly robust security architecture allows you to:
- Create any number of customized views
- Define exactly which data categories each role or individual can search, view or update
- Extend the value of your talent profiles to project leaders, succession managers, mentors, hiring managers, various levels of administrators, etc.
- Preserve the confidentiality of the employee data
Identify the Best Internal Candidates Every Time
Launching a new project that requires special knowledge or skills? Dealing with language or culture issues with an important customer? Trying to identify the best candidate for an open position? Assembling a touch football team for a team building event?
Halogen's superior, role-based search functionality lets you easily search Talent Profiles for a match.
- Use basic keyword search criteria
- Easily conduct more advanced searches using particular fields or categories to narrow results
- Compare results side-by-side for individual profiles or groups of them
