Mind the Gap: State of Employee Engagement 2017Saba Software
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.

The results are undesired attrition, inefficiency, deep frustration for both the business and HR, limited governance, and in many cases, unnecessary costs.
Case Study: South Australian GovernmentSaba Software
Case Study - Government of South Australia
Overview
On 18 July 2012, South Australia became the second state to formally apologize for forced adoption in Australia. They needed to deliver a live, online, video webcast of a formal apology led by South Australian Premier Jay Weatherill for viewing across South Australia and worldwide by affected individuals and families.
Business Challenge
Not surprisingly, because of the unusual nature of the event, there were numerous challenges that needed to be overcome to achieve the South Australian Parliament’s objectives. Because there were many who — due to time or cost constraints or personal privacy issues — would not be able to witness the apology in person at Parliament House, the Department of the Premier and Cabinet wanted a way to broadcast this personal, socially, and politically sensitive event live, that would enable viewers to truly feel like they had been present for the apologies.
Business Benefits
Provided a high-definition webcast of the formal government apologies viewed at more than 70 online sites, as well as throughout Parliament House and in a nearby hotel’s ballroom
Enabled easy recording, efficient editing, and quick posting of the webcast online so people who couldn’t tune in to the live stream could view it at their convenience
Offered the flexibility of working within the limitations imposed by Parliament House staff while delivering a high-quality webcast

This session outlines the Learning Hive approach that sets up collaborations that foster great learning without the need for L&D to produce content.
