Taleo’s Employee Development product line includes tools for employee development, career management and succession planning. These tools increase employee retention, engagement and direction by helping employees map out their career potential and the activities required to achieve that potential. Investments in employee development can have a dramatic impact on company performance. A recent Bersin Research study found that “organizations that invested in employee development and succession planning exceeded their peers in productivity by 27%.” The key capabilities of Taleo’s Employee Development include:
 |
Real-time Development PlansTight linkage with goals management, performance reviews, career plans and succession plans enables better development plans. This linkage ensures that development plans are continually revisited and improved in real-time throughout the employment lifecycle.

Social LearningSocial learning has always been the most important way employees learn from peers, mentors and managers while on the job. Taleo Development includes unique social networking tools that harness these types of experiential learning techniques to dramatically enhance and accelerate development.

Succession PlanningTaleo Succession helps companies increase the retention of top performers to avoid business disruptions. Taleo Succession is tightly integrated with Taleo Performance, Development and Recruiting to identify critical talent from both internal and external talent pools and to enable leadership development programs for top performers.

Integration with Learning Management SystemsTaleo Development is the only tool that supports both social and structured learning activities. Taleo Development seamlessly links to learning management systems (LMS) through Taleo Passport by creating development activities that are directly linked to course content. Once these courses are completed, learning assessment scores generated by the LMS are then uploaded back into Taleo Development to allow management to evaluate the employee proficiency. |
Taleo Development is a brand new application available as a part of Taleo 10 that uses both traditional and social learning techniques to help employees improve their skills and prepare themselves for career growth.
