TALENT ACQUISITION,RECRUITMENT & RETENTION
OMNIPRESENT | August 05, 2022
Global employment partner Omnipresent today launches the OmniAcademy, a free online learning platform dedicated to helping HR professionals and senior leaders to grow successful, international businesses with ease.
Developed by Omnipresent's team of HR experts, the OmniAcademy's first course - 'Everything you need to know about international hiring' - comprises 13 step-by-step videos with downloadable guides for time-strapped teams. This is the first in a series of courses, and those who complete them will receive certification for the skills developed in each course.
'We founded Omnipresent on the belief that borderless hiring is a key component in the future of work. And with organisations looking increasingly further afield to hire the best talent in a competitive market, HR leaders need to be equipped with the right information to guarantee a positive employee experience, wherever their employees are based. However, we know first hand that this can be extremely complex - our team of over 400 is currently based in 53 countries, so we've had to navigate these very challenges ourselves. This is why we've created the OmniAcademy: to help HR teams make the most of global work and create a seamless experience for their employees."
-CEO and Co-founder of Omnipresent, Matthew Wilson
The launch of the OmniAcademy comes at a time when 96% of HR professionals are facing challenges with 'future of work initiatives', but 47% 'don't know the best tactics or tools to overcome these issues'. All this in a post-pandemic world where they are tasked with delivering hybrid and remote set-ups, while maintaining a positive employee experience.

TALENT MANAGEMENT,EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT
Qualtrics | July 29, 2022
Qualtrics (Nasdaq: XM), the leader and creator of the experience management category, today announced that hundreds of organizations worldwide, including M&T Bank and Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany, selected its employee experience solutions in the second quarter of 2022 as companies look to attract and retain the best talent, increase employee engagement and improve productivity.
“Right now, organizations across the world face economic uncertainty and are laser-focused on retaining their top talent, Companies that are able to create and preserve a happy, engaged and productive workforce differentiate themselves by listening to, understanding and acting on the needs of their employees in real time — and Qualtrics’ Employee Experience platform allows them to do so at scale.”
-Brad Anderson, Qualtrics’ President of Products and Engineering.
Retaining top performers is the No. 1 priority of most C-suite leaders, according to a recent Qualtrics study, and 72% of executives say they’ll spend more on staffing and retaining their workforce in 2022 and beyond — up from 62% a year ago. Economic shifts can cause employees to become distracted, disengaged and burned out, so companies must take action to keep their best employees engaged and productive.
With Qualtrics’ EmployeeXM™, companies can listen to their employees in real time to understand what specific and individual needs they have, then take action. Doing so, engenders trust, in turn helping companies retain employees. In fact, of those who say they’re planning to stay with a company for more than three years, 81% say they trust their manager. Only 49% of those who plan to stay for less than a year say they trust their manager.
In the second quarter, the following organizations chose Qualtrics to better understand their employees’ emotions, efforts and intent in order to create more personal and empathetic experiences:
As a purpose-driven, community bank with approximately 1,000 branches and 22,000 employees, M&T Bank (M&T) knows that listening to employees and empowering them to make a difference in their communities is key to the success of their brand, as they grow and adapt to increasingly digital industry standards. Following its recent acquisition of People’s United Bank, M&T expanded its existing Qualtrics CX program in Q2 with Qualtrics EX solutions. By approaching experience management holistically across customers and employees, M&T aims to better address employee needs so they can continue to focus on delivering exceptional customer service and help their communities thrive.
Qualtrics extended its relationship in Q2 with German healthcare, life science, and electronics multinational, Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany, which employs 57,000 people across 66 countries. As the company continues to invest in using experience data and insights to foster its employee experience, it chose Qualtrics EmployeeXM to further enhance its employee and leadership development program. The program is designed not just to provide development feedback and suggestions to the individual, but also to detect skills and culture gaps across the organization for it to address.
About Qualtrics-
Qualtrics, the leader and creator of the experience management category, is changing the way organizations manage and improve the four core experiences of business—customer, employee, product and brand. Over 16,750 organizations around the world use Qualtrics to listen, understand and take action on experience data (X-data™)—the beliefs, emotions and intentions that tell you why things are happening, and what to do about it.
