Last month (June, 2009) Aberdeen Research confirmed the TOP 5 Uses of Web 2.0 for Human Resource professionals in its enlightened research piece:  HR Executive’s Guide to Web 2.0 – Cracking the Code for Talent Management.   The “Best in Class” Talent Managers have adopted and leveraged these tools far more often in 2009 with significant growth in the areas of:  Recruiting (105%); Onboarding (35%) and Learning and Development (35%).

The survey focused on 220 organizations that utilized at least one Web 2.0 technology in 2008 and 2009.

Aberdeen used three key performance criteria to determine the Best in Class; Industry Average and Laggard organizations in leveraging Web 2.0 tools for talent management

 

1.    Time to Productivity (defined as the time it takes an employee to reach desired level of competence in a new role)

2.    Employee Retention / Turnover

3.    Percentage of employees who indicated that they are highly engaged (as of most recent employee engagement surveys)

 

The results are astounding and speak to the need for companies to adopt a TOPYX-like solution for their organization as quickly as possible.
