Beeline Transforms Extended Workforce Management with New Products

Beeline Unveils Two Game-Changing Extended Workforce Solutions

Beeline, a leading technology solutions provider for overseeing the global extended workforce, has unveiled two new products designed to tackle workforce challenges that were previously unaddressed in the industry. These innovations, known as Beeline Professional and Global Workforce Intelligence, represent a significant step forward in the management of extended workforces.

With a wealth of experience spanning over twenty years, Beeline has played a notable role in shaping the evolution of the extended workforce industry. In recognizing two major shortcomings within the industry—vendor management systems (VMS) primarily catering to large enterprises and the untapped potential for talent visibility and compliance—Beeline has launched these additions to the Beeline Extended Workforce Platform.

Beeline Professional has been crafted to meet the specific needs of emerging and expanding extended workforce programs. It stands as the first VMS solution that can be effortlessly activated, featuring pre-configured templates, workflows, dashboards, and reports modeled after the best-in-class programs. Beeline Professional brings scalable extended workforce management, automation, and efficiency to companies with annual non-employee labor expenditures ranging from $1 million to $25 million.

Doug Leeby, Beeline's CEO, stated,

For far too long, extended workforce solutions have catered to enterprises and ignored the unique needs of mid-sized programs. Using insights from over the last 20+ years in the industry, Beeline Professional is uniquely tailored to meet the core needs of mid-sized programs without compromising quality and innovation.

Up until now, achieving complete visibility across an organization's entire extended workforce has been a challenge for enterprises. Global Workforce Intelligence, however, offers a solution by aggregating data not only from the company's VMS but also from other systems housing external workers that are not captured in the VMS. This comprehensive workforce visibility enables thorough accounting, analysis, and proactive risk management across the entire extended workforce spectrum. Importantly, Global Workforce Intelligence is compatible with any VMS, not limited to Beeline's.

Extended workers play a crucial role in an organization's overall workforce and talent strategy. Beeline's mission is to empower companies to gain a competitive edge by optimizing their extended workforce. The introduction of these two innovative products marks another milestone in Beeline's journey toward fulfilling this mission.

For over two decades, Beeline has been a competitive force in empowering global businesses to gain an edge in the industry through effective management of their extended workforce. The Beeline Extended Workforce Platform equips companies with the essential visibility needed to proactively mitigate risks, achieve cost savings, and adapt to evolving business needs.

Beeline specializes in delivering tailored solutions that specifically address the intricate challenges posed by the extended workforce. Clients benefit from a diverse range of Beeline products, designed to cater to their unique requirements.

Avature Announces the General Release of its Social Learning Solution

PR Newswire | October 17, 2023

Avature, a leading provider of innovative Human Capital Management (HCM) software for recruiting and talent management, announces the beta release of its social learning solution to a select group of customers, and a general release before the end of this year. Industry reports indicate a very low and steadily declining percentage of employees' use of their company learning management system (LMS) on a regular basis. However, HR can reverse this lack of engagement by allowing employees to learn in the same way they have on YouTube, TikTok and other channels. Avature's social learning solution creates this type of user experience by lifting proven design concepts from social media, including the easy creation of user-generated content, the generation of algorithmically driven suggestions, and the use of artificial intelligence. Avature Learning is expected to promote organizational agility and engagement by facilitating the sharing of know-how, a company's most valuable asset. Intended to complement or replace customers' legacy LMS depending on how it is deployed, this solution allows HR leaders to compensate for the lost interaction between work-from-home employees, ensures knowledge is transferred from one generation to another and helps address the alarming declines in competencies and skills being reported across the educational spectrum. Providing numerous opportunities to acquire knowledge, Avature Learning offers an employee-centered learning experience, where subject matter experts are able to share critical know-how that might otherwise go undocumented, and content is organically curated based on user feedback and social interaction. Employees can easily find and recommend user-generated video and audio content as well as traditional training and courses, benchmark their progress against peers, obtain mentorships and create ad hoc meet ups and face-to-face learning sessions. With this solution, employers can effortlessly boost the value of their training programs, better facilitate internal mobility and accelerate time to productivity while lowering turnover. We believe learning must go beyond traditional L&D programs to remain strategically relevant, shared Dimitri Boylan, Founder and CEO of Avature. The ideal technology should help mine a workforce's wealth of knowledge and facilitate its dispersion. Our customers want to uncover the 'voice of the employee' and bring learning to life, he added. Industry analyst Josh Bersin was able to see the solution in action and highlighted the benefits of its unique social approach, "The vast amount of corporate learning that takes place is not authored by the training department. It is authored by experts, passionate professionals and peers. So, we need a "social learning" platform that lets people author and upload videos and other forms of content and then quickly and easily check it, publish it and make it easy to find. This is what Avature has built." Avature Learning also seeks to put HR in control of its digital transformation and offers numerous tactical opportunities to design and deploy processes that grow the company's collective IQ and drive the business toward its strategic objectives. With built-in CRM functionality and real-time analytics, HR teams are provided with the best engagement toolkit to target content, measure employee's progress and ensure they're keeping pace with learning objectives. From a business standpoint, Josh Bersin agrees the solution's features enable successful knowledge transfer, "I've always believed that 70 to 80 percent of the knowledge and intellectual property within a company is custom to that company's business. Every business process, proprietary tool, and internal procedure represents a custom, internal training need. Platforms like Avature's Learning Hub can tap into this." Avature's learning solution can seamlessly integrate into customers' existing talent technology ecosystem using Avature's mature and configurable REST endpoints and open API framework. Data from other systems can be imported and used by Avature's workflow engine to promote learning activities for individual employees and data can be easily exported to support onboarding and internal mobility processes in other systems. With this release, Avature bolsters its Talent Management Suite, adding yet another best-in-class solution to the portfolio that its Global 2000 customer base can implement from a single platform. About Avature Avature is a highly configurable enterprise HCM SaaS platform for talent acquisition and talent management, and the leading provider of CRM and ATS technology for human resources globally. Founded by Dimitri Boylan, co-founder and former CEO of HotJobs.com, Avature brings consumer-grade internet technology and digital innovation to human resources departments. Avature solutions include shared services sourcing, applicant tracking, career sites, campus and events recruiting, employee referral management, social onboarding, branded employee engagement, employee mobility and workforce optimization, employee case management, performance management and learning.

Workhuman | September 25, 2023

Workhuman, a renowned company at the forefront of transforming how employees engage, connect, and show appreciation in the workplace, has taken a significant step in enhancing its market-leading Social Recognition platform by introducing the all-new Workhuman app for Microsoft Teams. This innovative application is now readily available for download in the Microsoft Teams app store, providing employees within organizations complete access to the features offered by Workhuman's robust recognition platform, all within the Microsoft Teams environment where employees conduct their daily work, meetings, collaborations, and communication. Leveraging the cutting-edge capabilities of the Microsoft Teams platform, this new application empowers Workhuman to offer its clients an effective means to elevate awareness and real-time participation in their employee recognition initiatives. Building upon the initial Teams integration by Workhuman, which already supports users launching the recognition nomination process within Teams chats and Teams channels, the new app brings forth a host of features: A native welcome page that facilitates immediate recognition and showcases an 'always on' awards feed, along with a highlight reel of years-of-service awards and celebrations, all without necessitating employee logins to a company intranet. Award notifications within the Teams Activity tab, along with the ability to extend kudos and congratulations to colleagues across the organization who are receiving recognition or commemorating significant life and work milestones, thereby fostering a more unified company culture. The capacity to deliver 'in-the-moment' recognition within Teams chats, channels, or even during meetings (through a Microsoft Teams meeting extension), accessible across mobile, desktop, and web versions of Teams.

Furthermore, additional research demonstrates that when employees are acknowledged for life events and work-related milestones, they are three times more likely to strongly agree that they feel connected to the organizational culture.
