As the saying goes, you can’t manage what you can’t measure. An invaluable new tech platform that we recently implemented is Orgnostic. This people analytics solution takes raw data from multiple sources and turns it into a story-like report with insights, recommendations, [and] visuals instantly. This saves us hours of time doing manual reporting; it’s like having a data scientist on demand. The HR team is then equipped to partner with the business to make strategic decisions. In this rapidly changing macro environment, having access to real-time and reliable data for scenario planning is a game-changer in visualizing impacts of various metrics on future headcount, cost, etcetera.

We implemented Docebo last year and it has completely transformed our delivery of training. We’re thrilled!

Economic [Research] Institute’s (ERI) compensation assessor. Although the platform could look better, they provide amazing customer service, [at a] reasonable cost, and it’s very easy to use! Conducting salary surveys has been a breeze with this system!

A great performance management platform is worth its weight in gold.

LinkedIn Recruiter has been a great product for me. It has made my recruiting tasks a lot easier and helps me connect with the candidate a bit more than just a normal job board. By seeing if we have mutual connections or we follow the same pages, it can assist me in bringing up common interest[s] if I begin to sense the candidate starting to become nervous.
