Most organizations agree that talent is their most important asset, and the critical importance of developing, engaging and retaining employees is nothing new to HR leaders. But the results of Saba’s 2017 State of Employee Engagement Survey reveal that most businesses are not in tune with their employees. For example, nearly two-thirds of employees don’t believe they have an effective platform to engage with the business and share their input. Just 22% of employees say their organizations are very effective in providing easy access to training and development. And over half of employees feel performance reviews are ineffective when it comes to improving their personal performance.
Reaching 1,800 HR leaders and employees across the
U.S. and the UK, the recent 2017 State of Employee
Engagement Survey conducted by Saba Software
highlights the challenges many organizations face in
capturing consistent employee feedback and accurately
assessing engagement across the organization. The
survey also warns of gaps between the perception and
reality of talent management program effectiveness, and
the impact on critical talent outcomes.
This report delves deeper into the survey findings,
providing insight organizations can use to close
potential gaps that exist between business leaders and
employees in critical areas, including feedback and
engagement, training, performance management and
career development.

And perhaps the most significant change that we’re all dealing with is that the work itself and the skills required everyday keep changing – in fact, 47% of today’s jobs won’t even exist in 20 years, and new jobs, requiring new skills will emerge.
And all these challenges and changes have to be addressed over and above the day-to-day work of attracting, developing and retaining talent.
Based on recent research report from Deloitte University, Learning and Talent professionals are dealing with a myriad of challenges including leadership development, employee engagement, diversity and inclusion, collaboration, compliance, and certification.
But one of the biggest challenges organizations face today is “overwhelmed” employees. Employees are faced with information overload, too many tools, and too many choices. This is negatively impacting their productivity and effectiveness.
The other problem we found is that this lack of feedback means talent teams and businesses are basically running of blind
And there’s a gap created between HR leaders and employees when it comes to engagement and talent program effectiveness
This stat for example points to employee development which we all know is critical to creating high potentials, reducing time to competency and improving retention in millennials –
43% of HR leaders believe they deliver training and development that is accessible and effective
Their employees don’t agree – nearly 80% think their training and development programs are NOT effective

There’s a gap today when it comes to EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT …
The ability to assess individual and org. satisfaction and performance in real-time
Take the right actions to improve programs
And measure the impact on business performance
Choices historically included costly business consultants, annual feedback surveys that are quickly out of date, and very rarely actioned.
There’s a crop of engagement and sentiment” tools which are great in concept, but they’re disconnected from other systems, leaving the data is orphaned as soon as it’s collected.
Then there are traditional Talent Management solutions – which are powerful when it comes to delivering programs, but until now, no way to connect with real-time feedback, then measure the immediate and long term impact.
Previous and current generations of talent management systems were built to automate and integrate – which was a huge leap from manual and silo’ed processes. But, they are still largely passive, backwards looking, hard to update and based on top down models of management. Today’s talent systems already know something about your employees through their profiles. But, what they can’t do is LEARN. What they don’t do is INTERPRET and PREDICT.
They really aren’t helping you with engagement or productivity.
They more importantly, they aren’t helping you deal with the pace of change, and the daily onslaught of data, which means that they aren’t helping you build and engage the workforce you need for tomorrow.
But, there is a better way – we call it Intelligent Talent Management.
Similar to the way that Amazon changed the way we shop, Saba Cloud is changing the way we manage talent.
Rather than passively waiting for direction, intelligent talent management gathers data constantly – either from explicitly querying users or from watching them work in the system.
Saba then uses this data to make proactive and personal recommendations that make your employees better at their current jobs and prepare them better for tomorrow’s work. But, Saba also encourages users to keep their profile updated, which means better data for HR and the company. So, managing your talent becomes more effective.
This is today’s Intelligent Talent Management – taking BIG DATA and crunching it down in ways that humans can’t – into actionable items: Follow this person’s updates, download this doc, read this article, take this course…
Let’s take a look at some real-life examples.

The goal of learning and development programs are to improve business outcome – improvements in business outcomes can be measured in job satisfaction, confidence, impressions and so on. Post-course surveys do not give a long term view of the impact of a training program. Watching the survey results shift following the rollout of a training initiative will.
