The modern HR mission:
Putting people first
Crafting a stellar employee experience across the
employee lifecycle is the modern HR mission.
Employee engagement is the key to creating a high-performing
workforce. Engaged employees aren’t just working for a paycheck,
instead they truly care about their organization’s mission.
A highly engaged workforce results in higher productivity and employee
happiness while enabling organizations to attract and retain talent.
Coupled with today’s tight labor market and Millennials redefining the
workplace, employers must innovate how they recruit, nurture, and
retain their talent.
Highly engaged companies enjoyed a
115% growth in earnings per share,
while their competitors only experienced
a 27% growth over 2011-2015.1

We set up our company’s first-ever 401(k) with Captain401. It was so easy for
our team members, which was our biggest concern going in. Captain401
even provided me with a presentation template so I could walk our whole
company through the basics—not just of their platform, but a 401(k) overall.
It was amazing, and now people are raving about our benefits.

• Agile course curation - top-quality courses curated from a powerful marketplace
• Data & Analytics - measure and personalize employee training like never before.
Udemy for Business has created opportunities for us to learn way more on what our
learners want then we ever could learn on a survey...As our learners go in and shop
on Udemy, we get fantastic back-end analytics on what they’re searching, what
they’re clicking on, or what’s their jump rate. It’s been staggering the amount of
traffic we’ve gotten from the dedicated Udemy users...It’s a great tool, people love it.

Changing employee interests and motivators are impacting
how you design your recognition strategy. Here are the key
features of a modern rewards and recognition experience.
• Recognition in real-time to reinforce positive behaviors as they take
place, to create a culture of recognition
• Make recognition personal, with the ability to scale
• Know your recognition ROI with easy-to-manage data and survey tools
• Complete the feedback loop by seeing how your rewards come to life
The feedback has been phenomenal, we couldn’t imagine how much our
employees would love Blueboard. We’ve had employees take flying lessons,
learn a new language – if you can dream it, they’ve been doing it. It’s very
exciting for us. It gives people the chance to invest in something they
wouldn’t normally do if the company hadn’t provided the opportunity.
