Learn.com and Taleo Join Forces to Support Comprehensive Employee Development
Alliance Allows Companies to Engage and Develop Employees through Social and Formal Learning Methods
Sunrise, FL, September 17, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Learn.com®, today announced it has been selected by Taleo (Nasdaq: TLEO), the leading provider of on-demand talent management solutions, as its premier learning management system (LMS) partner. This alliance will integrate with Taleo Development, a new development planning application which is part of the Taleo 10™ talent management solution, also announced today.
Taleo Development™ allows employees and their managers to build development plans that are linked with their goals, performance reviews and career plans. This connection ensures that these development plans are well thought out and frequently revisited. It also improves the connection between development plans, management expectations and the employee’s career objectives.
Taleo Development includes employee development plans for building competencies and “social learning” fostered by peer-based learning activities such as coaching, mentoring, and experiential learning. Additionally, through its partnership with Learn.com, Taleo will also offer customers actionable, competency-based formal learning activities.
Taleo and Learn.com will tightly integrate Taleo Development with the LearnCenter LMS. This integration will allow Taleo Development to link directly to training courses managed by Learn.com. Communication will be two-way so that learning assessment scores can be uploaded to Taleo Development, allowing management to evaluate the employee’s proficiency against each development activity.
By linking actionable development activities from the LearnCenter LMS to individual development plans, Taleo customers will be able to:
· Boost employee engagement and retention by showing employees a clear career development plan and what it will take to achieve the plan
· Improve their development plans, which will, in turn increase employee productivity
· Enable real-time talent development by dynamically aligning employee development plans with changing goals and business strategies.
As part of this partnership, Taleo and Learn.com will jointly market end-to-end talent management solutions to customers and prospects. Together, they will offer a single source for a tightly integrated talent management solution.
“Our latest research shows that employee development is one of the most vital elements in a high-performing organization today,” said Josh Bersin, CEO of Bersin & Associates, a leading industry research and advisory services firm. “Taleo’s partnership with Learn.com now enables the company to offer a complete solution for corporate learning management.”
Taleo helps companies create a performance-driven culture by better understanding, engaging and developing their pivotal talent. Taleo is the only talent management solution that aligns an employee’s development activities within the LMS with other talent processes such as recruiting, performance and succession.
“Our alliance with Learn.com allows us to boost the Taleo 10 talent management solution with content, coursework and competencies from Learn.com,” said Al Campa, Chief Marketing Officer at Taleo. “Ultimately, this is a win-win for our customers, as it will allow them to drive better company innovation and growth by empowering enhanced individual development.”
