Product Offering to Clients
Exeter, United
Kingdom – 16 July 2008 – HumanConcepts,
the developer of OrgPlus®, announced today a partnership with Belgium-based workforce development
system provider, Progreso.
OrgPlus greatly extends the value
of Progreso’s innovative talent and performance management software with a suite of tools to model business scenarios and plan
for workforce change. Clients of Progreso will benefit from the convenience of a unified
company view generated by OrgPlus to identify where they are at risk of
critical talent shortages and quickly act to increase bench strength in
strategic areas.
“Growing, reducing or just
adjusting your workforce presents a different set of challenges for every
company in every country. Across Europe, workforce change is central to how
companies run and grow, and a key reason HumanConcepts has experienced such rapid
expansion here,” said Scott Jenkins,
Director, HumanConcepts UK.
“This strategic relationship with Progreso will further support our growth in Europe. We are very excited about working together to
provide workforce modelling solutions to companies in Belgium.”
Luc Christiaens, Managing
Director, Progreso commented, “By gaining visibility into talent
characteristics, our customers will be equipped to make effective HR decisions
and protect the company from losing key personnel or missing market opportunities
because of workforce shortfalls.”
OrgPlus assists HR professionals when planning and executing workforce
management tasks including succession planning, talent acquisition and
management, budgeting, compensation and benefits planning and communicating a
corporate employee directory. Additionally, OrgPlus facilitates ‘what if’
scenario planning which is critical for successful change management,
reorganisation and merger and acquisition activities.
