TEDS Announces Major New Integrated Talent Management Software Release
TEDS integrated Talent Management Suite further strengthened by new Compensation Management module and enhanced Workforce Planning capabilities
Atkins, VA – May 28, 2009 TEDS ® , Inc., the originator of the completely organic, fully integrated Talent Management solution, announced today the release of version 9.0 of its Talent Management suite. The suite's newest module, TEDS Compensation Manager ©, gives companies a significant competitive advantage though retention and motivation of key employees at all levels in the organization. With TEDS Compensation Manager , employee compensation becomes a strategic process, linked to competencies, learning and performance. The module utilizes sophisticated but easy to use analytics to ensure dependable and instantaneous data upon which to base compensation planning and decision making.
“We added unprecedented strategic Workforce Planning capabilities to TEDS 9.0,” said Lynda Helton TEDS' Chief Development Officer. “With our enhanced Manager Dashboard, managers and supervisors can look across their department or division and access employee development data from multiple sources. It has never been easier to review role assignments, progress toward goals, completions, and time-to-completion for any learning, development or certification task. Managers have access to accurate, up to the minute data that are critical to making and tracking strategic decisions.”
The new Manager Dashboard provides instant gap analysis, performance analytics, and workforce progress and employee readiness analytics. Enhanced embedded reporting capabilities and more powerful collaboration tools have also been added. Such capabilities are invaluable at a time when companies must maximize efficiencies and accomplish more with fewer resources.
TEDS developed and launched the first Learning Management System ( LMS ) in 1989 and soon began integrating other elements of human capital planning, development and management. The company's new version 9.0 integrates learning, performance, competencies, succession, compensation, workforce planning, talent acquisition and staffing on one platform utilizing a single database.
“Organic integration has been a strength and market differentiator for TEDS for many years,” said Joe Ellis , President and CEO of TEDS, Inc. “We began the groundwork for our fully integrated Talent Management system well over a decade ago by including full functionality in our original Learning Management System, Learning on Demand ©. Competency management, compliance management, and workforce planning capabilities – which we called People Resource Planning © – were part of our system as far back as the late ‘90s. Now, with the full integration of TEDS Compensation Manager into our suite of seamlessly integrated Talent Management modules, we offer world-class organizations the most powerful system ever for total Talent Management.”
Industry Analyst, Bersin & Associates, has recognized TEDS' fully integrated Talent Management system in their recent industry study, Learning Management Systems 2009. “TEDS Talent Management solution is an integrated technology platform designed to handle all aspects of learning and talent management,” the report said. “The company was one of the first providers to see the value of an employee development, management and planning system. Overall, the system is far-reaching and complete in its vision for integrated learning and talent management.”
Bersin & Associates' Learning Management Systems 2009 also reported, “TEDS pioneered the development of an integrated platform for employee development and management. In fact, the company was ahead of its time – often promoting and selling the benefits of workforce management before most companies realized the potential benefits of an integrated system.”
