Effective hiring is only the first part to better HR management, however. Once an applicant becomes a new hire, the demands on the HR system naturally change. Maintaining and growing that talent become top concerns, and one that can be addressed through functionality such as the ability to initiate and manage training programs and work-related events through the HR system. The ability to capture an employee’s performance over the course of the year is also critical. Today’s social media tools, such as Yammer, can work for the enterprise, too. Managers can rate employees on their projects and help employees have a better view and more control over their careers, with online access to other staff for peer-to-peer learning.
