Best Practice: Leveraging Technology for Employee Development

At the best-practice organizations featured in APQC's 2009 Collaborative Research study, Talent Management in a Tough Economy, technology plays a central role in the development of employees. Deere & Company, URS Washington Division, and Textron use technology to standardize talent development processes, manage employee development progress, and expand development opportunities to a larger percentage of the work force. In doing so, these best-practice organizations maximize returns on their employee development investments and position themselves to increase employee productivity, engagement, and retention.
