Webanywhere releases latest White Paper exploring the transformation of HR departments
The Transformation of the Workplace Training Function: the Drive to Integrate Human Resources with Business Strategy.
Webanywhere, the UK and US-based provider of learning management
technology and services, has produced a new paper on the evolution
of technologies in learning and their relevance in the HR
function.
As companies strive to create competitive advantage in the digital
age, executives are increasingly looking to the HR function to grow
beyond everyday tasks and provide leadership to ensure broader
people management and development objectives are achieved. The
emergence of new learning systems in recent years offers the HR
function new opportunities to take up this challenge. The learning
systems specialist Webanywhere has produced a short paper to
introduce HR professionals to several key areas of
consideration:
- The Emergence of Talent Management Strategies
- Increasing Complexity of the Workplace Trainer Role
- The Increasing Relevance of Social Networks in HR
- The Evolution of Learning Technologies
Conor Gilligan, Head of Operations, Webanywhere Corporate Division
explains: "The paper considers the complex remit of modern HR
functions to stretch beyond their traditional responsibilities. HR
today is being asked to blend an increasing strategic awareness
with new methods and modes of message delivery to ensure that
organisational change initiatives are successful and embedded.
These can include talent management, social media and other
community-building activities.
"The paper also looks at how HR professionals should consider
alternative software distribution models that can enable broader
change programmes," added Gilligan.
Webanywhere's paper, 'The Transformation of the Workplace Training
Function: the Drive to Integrate Human Resources with Business
Strategy' is available as a PDF for download from its
website.
