Eightfold AI Launches Skills-Based Talent Planning, Empowering Business Leaders to Stay Ahead of Market Shifts with a Future-ready Workforce

PRnewswire | May 11, 2023 | Read time : 05:00 min

Eightfold AI, the leader in AI-powered talent intelligence, today announced Skills-Based Talent Planning. Eightfold Talent Planning is a solution for organizations to analyze, forecast, and future-proof their workforce by assessing skills and resourcing gaps in real-time. This is an effective way to reduce the risk of costly and disruptive reorganizations and withstand unpredictable industry shifts.

Today, enterprises rely on ineffective spreadsheets to plan their workforce, without a true understanding of talent and skill trends, such as a sharp rise in digital skills within financial institutions. This method is outdated and leaves many without a path forward in times of rapid change. Eightfold Talent Planning allows business leaders to understand how these trends impact the needs of their organization. Eightfold feeds this insight into its industry-leading Talent Acquisition, Talent Management and Talent Flex solutions, allowing organizations to execute skills-based talent strategies at scale. Proactively hiring key roles and transforming existing jobs ahead of major workforce trends creates significant value, agility and flexibility for Eightfold customers, allowing customers to thrive during times of great upheaval.

"The speed at which business is evolving is too great for anyone to manage alone: our platform translates massive amounts of talent data into a blueprint for what skills a business has today and will need tomorrow," said Ashutosh Garg, CEO of Eightfold AI. "The result is an intelligent, easy-to-use offering that will allow business leaders to grow flexibly instead of being forced to execute on expensive, reactionary workforce changes."

Eightfold Talent Planning makes having a future-ready workforce a continual part of the talent process instead of a one-time exercise. This creates a strategic advantage, better aligning workforce planning with business objectives and allowing HR leaders to:

Leverage a global talent data set, including from the existing workforce, providing insights on people and industry talent trends
Understand market disruption's impact on every role: learn which skills will become more important, and which will reduce in prominence
Identify the talent to attract, engage, upskill and re-deploy into future roles
Forecast and scenario-plan the time required for skills and proficiency to develop in existing and emerging areas, and how roles and organizations should evolve over time
Capture progress and fully execute on a coordinated talent plan by integrating with Eightfold Talent Acquisition, Career Hub, and the entire Talent Intelligence Platform

"Utilizing robust talent data to inform and enhance actionable workforce planning - for both today's and tomorrow's needs, represents a massive step forward in the practical use of AI," said Kevin Moss, Managing Director, Workforce Planning Practice Leader, Deloitte Consulting, LLP. "We are proud to collaborate with Eightfold AI as they continue to bring people-first usage of advanced technology into the mainstream."

Truework Announces Guardian HR Product to Securely Automate Income Verifications for Payroll Providers

PRnewswire | July 17, 2023

Truework , a leading provider in verification of income and employment (VOIE) in the U.S., announced today the launch of Truework Guardian, a new verification automation tool for employees, employers and payroll providers that replaces the manual HR verification process while increasing the protection of sensitive data. Guardian is the first solution to help payroll providers and Human Capital Management systems (HCMs) automate verifications for every employer while protecting employee data through unique risk scoring on every request. Guardian allows payroll providers to scale verification to thousands of employers without sacrificing on data security, privacy, or transactional speed. Similar to modern credit card systems where consumers are alerted about potential fraudulent transactions, Guardian notifies employees whenever a verification request is deemed suspicious, requiring additional authorization before sensitive data is shared. Within the Guardian product, payroll providers and HCMs can use Truework's proprietary Transactional Risk Scoring system to set thresholds for which verifications are auto-approved and which require additional employee authorization. "Helping protect employee data while accelerating high-impact financial transactions, like buying a home, is at the core of Truework's mission," said CEO Ryan Sandler. "With Guardian, payroll providers finally have the ability to automate verifications for every employer using risk-based insights to flag potentially fraudulent requests. This provides the best possible employee and employer experience." In 2021, Truework launched the Payroll Network alongside Gusto and Rippling to allow payroll providers to customize data sharing settings for employers and employees on their platform, improving data transparency and control. Guardian is the next evolution in this offering, allowing payroll providers and HCMs to standardize verification automation for every employer using their platform. "Requiring additional employee authorization on a high-touch transaction like applying for a mortgage adds unnecessary friction because the employee has already provided consent," added Sandler. "With Guardian, we analyze unique risk insights based on the reputation of the verifier, the classification of the verifying institution, as well as IP address and other data points to only require additional authorization when the risk of fraud is elevated." Before Guardian, many verification providers would automatically approve verification requests without a full assessment of risk, significantly increasing the chances of fraud or identity theft for all employees. In 2023, Truework has onboarded 3 new payroll partners into their instant data network representing over 8 million employees. Guardian is currently available for over 48 million employees spanning across some of the largest payroll systems in the country. About Truework On a mission to create trust in every financial transaction, Truework provides a one-stop, customizable platform for income and employment verification that prioritizes efficiency, accuracy, and security. Using Truework, banks, lenders and tenant screening providers can verify 90% of U.S. employees.

She explained that this platform aligned recognition with company values to nurture a culture of appreciation and acknowledgment. Furthermore, she emphasized that it encouraged more impactful peer-to-peer interactions. Cameron highlighted that these newly introduced capabilities simplified employee recognition, made it meaningful and inclusive, and empowered HR and business leaders to give precedence to employee appreciation. She added that it also served to enhance engagement and motivation within the workforce. Key features of Oracle Celebrate include: Peer-to-peer recognition: This feature enables employees and leaders to acknowledge their colleagues across the organization in real time, with personalized recognition linked to business values. It seamlessly incorporates peer recognition into an employee's daily routine and work processes. Generative AI assistant: Employees can enhance peer-to-peer recognition by receiving suggested improvements for their submissions, facilitating the creation of more impactful recognition notes for peers.

Zachary Chertok, the research manager for employee experience at IDC, mentioned that the applications and value of recognition are expanding and evolving as organizations rethink how they connect into and uplevel employee success. He also noted that building an ecosystem for recognition assists in sourcing the roots of achievement, moving the needle on best practices as success occurs, stimulating cultural acceptance around process innovation, and fostering belonging through community acknowledgement and appreciation. Ushaan Abeywickrema, the director of human resources at MAS Capital, noted that many organizations find it challenging to establish a straightforward system for ensuring that employees receive the praise and recognition they deserve. He pointed out that this represents a significant gap in the HR software market, especially considering the well-known importance of fostering a strong sense of value and accomplishment to enhance employee engagement and workforce efficiency. Abeywickrema also conveyed excitement about Oracle Celebrate and its potential to introduce innovative capabilities that could revolutionize how they personalize the employee journey. He expressed hope that Oracle Celebrate would make it easier to acknowledge the dedication and hard work of their team members, all while reinforcing their commitment to their organizational culture and productivity. He believed that by recognizing their contributions, their employees would feel more seen, supported, and empowered to perform at their best and deliver their finest work.
