Performance review integration ensures that development plans are revisited regularly and are tied to employee career successes.

With Talent Intelligence, you can identify and address skill gaps and ensure that employees are guided to the right development activities.

Through social learning features such as discussions, ratings and reviews and file sharing, Learning helps organizations to develop true learning communities where experts can share what they know with new hires and geographically distant colleagues.
