		<description><![CDATA[ Many organizations initially underestimate the time, effort and expertise required to successfully roll out eLearning locally or globally. This can lead to ineffective training, wasted dollars and disgruntled employees. Content as a Service (CaaS) solves these problems by removing the need for organizations to manage the technology, infrastructure and administration, allowing them instead to focus on the effectiveness of the eLearning itself. Learn how CaaS enables: Reduced administration and infrastructure costs, with improved end-user experiences Scalability without needing to add headcount or develop internal expertise Ability to purchase multiple titles from multiple vendors all through one contract Download Plateau's white paper, The Benefits of Content as a Service: Smarter SaaS , to learn how the strategic components of CaaS enable organizations to free themselves from the burden of content management and delivery and instead invest that time and effort into training their employees.

		<description><![CDATA[ This report, based on data of more than 160 organizations, builds on Aberdeen's previous research by examining how Best-in-Class organizations enable their decision-makers to leverage core HR data to drive business results. Analysis of survey data, collected in July and August of 2010, builds the business case for automation, integration and self-service. Best-in-Class organizations are able to balance the need to manage the costs of HR service delivery with the need to improve employee satisfaction with HR and relieving the administrative burden placed on HR personnel. The study also shows that collaborating with business managers and monitoring the effectiveness of these functions are differentiating top performers.

		<description><![CDATA[ In this summary you will learn: Why your organization's new strategy will fail if your employees are not engaged with it What six obstacles impede employee engagement What are the six best ways to engage employees Why "strategic engagement" is a process, not a series of separate, stand-alone actions Why you should read The Art of Engagement Organizational leaders spend considerable time and effort carefully developing strategies to advance their corporate goals. However, they often fail to communicate these strategies compellingly to their employees – the people who must execute every step. Therefore, it is no surprise that most such strategies fail. Management consultant Jim Haudan recommends a strategy-sharing approach using visuals, metaphors and stories to engage employees. He offers tactics for getting them on board to execute your strategy and organizational directives. One negative: Many of the illustrations (reductions from original table-size artwork) are busy and even fuzzy. Some feature tiny text, which illustrates – in the breech – Haudan's point about using clear visuals to communicate and engage. Otherwise the book is superior, very insightful and nicely written. Haudan uses case studies to demonstrate the effectiveness of his employee engagement process. getAbstract believes leaders can benefit from learning his tactics for communicating strategies so employees understand them, support them and actually implement them. About the Author Jim Haudan is co-founder and CEO of Root Learning, a management-consulting firm.
