		<description><![CDATA[ Time is money, as the old saying goes, and companies today can ill afford to waste either when it comes to bringing a new hire up to speed. Learning plays a critical role in transforming the onboarding process from an exercise in efficient tactical execution to an experience that accelerates performance, builds engagement, and fosters a sense of connection between new hires, their managers, and their team. This Insight will examine how learning in the onboarding phase of the employee lifecycle can improve time-to-productivity and set the stage for long term excellence.

		<description><![CDATA[ Getting talent right is getting business right. Aberdeen's Human Capital Management (HCM) research has continually shown that in order to meet business challenges, grow the organization and keep customers happy, the right talent must be hired, retained, deployed, developed and engaged. This study of nearly 300 organizations, conducted in November and December 2011 looks at the key strategies, technologies, and capabilities deployed by Best-in-Class HR and talent management practitioners, and the positive impact those activities are having on business performance.

		<description><![CDATA[ In a competitive global economy, HR needs to take a new look at talent, creating a “talent first” culture which prioritizes employee engagement through the entire organization. Aberdeen's HR Executive Agenda report, found that Best-in-Class organizations are deploying integrated talent management technology to achieve this goal--technology that encompasses recruitment, onboarding, performance, succession, compensation, learning and development.

		<description><![CDATA[ Over the past six months, Aberdeen has surveyed 131 organizations to understand their video conferencing usage patterns, deployment strategies, and perspectives on business value associated with these solutions. In this process, they looked at companies where all employees had access to some form of video conferencing (n=47) and compared them to companies where some employees lacked access to video. By comparing both of these groups to Best-in-Class practices for video conferencing identified in the September 2011 benchmark report Enterprise Video Collaboration , Aberdeen was able to determine how companies gained value from making video conferencing ubiquitous. This report shows how the challenges, solutions, and value propositions associated with high levels of video adoption and relate to improving employee productivity and business outcomes.

		<description><![CDATA[ How can HR leaders build a productive, engaged workforce for the long-term when employees feel dissatisfied, disengaged and unappreciated?

Among respondents who stated they plan to search for a new job this year, only 24% are satisfied with the level of recognition they receive at work. Conversely, 63% of employees who have no plans of leaving are satisfied with their level of recognition. Frequent, specific and timely recognition is a powerful means to communicate to employees that what they do is valued and appreciated.
