KLAS' First Deep Dive into Talent Management Finds Big Impact on Efficiency

    OREM, UT, June 11, 2013 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Four out of five healthcare providers say their talent management systems have a moderate to significant positive impact on employee performance and productivity. This key finding comes as providers are beginning to focus more on the use of technology to attract and manage human capital, according to a newly-released study entitled Management 2013: The Journey has Begun.

Yet even with such favorable results, the report identifies the early challenges and opportunities that many vendors have to better align their offerings to their clients. Currently, most of the needs seem to be met in silos, but providers are looking for better integration and ease of use across a myriad of talent management areas.

Joe Van De Graaff, research director and report author at KLAS, said, "Though fairly early in the adoption curve, it is clear that talent management systems can have a notable impact on cost savings and efficiencies. Vendors have great opportunity to better align their products and services to the needs of the healthcare provider."

Vendors highlighted in this report include Halogen Software, HealthcareSource, Healthstream, IBM, Infor, Oracle, SAP, and SumTotal. In addition, KLAS takes an early look at 8 other organizations.
