ARLINGTON, Va. (Business Wire EON) October 17, 2007 -- According to a 2006 report from staffing services and employment provider Manpower Inc., 40 percent of companies worldwide are having difficulty filling jobs and 61 percent of employers in Australia find it difficult to identify qualified candidates. To address this worldwide shortage, a recent Business Week study: "Talent Management: The New Business Imperative," states that each company must "estimate the gaps in its industry and determine the skills it needs to meet the business objectives," so that it has "the right people in the right places at the right time and at the right price to execute is business strategy." The study goes on to state that "Tight integration (between all talent management components) would produce a robust database of information about the competencies of individuals that is available to decision makers throughout the enterprise."
With Plateau, companies in Asia-Pacific can address the growing shortage of qualified workers by taking a proactive approach to talent management, focusing on the skills and capabilities of their current team to fill internal gaps, and enabling employees to develop their own career paths. Plateau's fully integrated talent management solution allows organizations to improve performance management and personnel development of its employees by tying performance reviews to development requirements.
