The pressure on HR departments is increasing. The Netherlands has a large number of open vacancies and the outflow of staff continues to increase. A Deloitte report shows that 72% of HR leaders see retaining and developing talent as their biggest challenge. To address these issues, Ixly is launching the People Platform, an innovative solution that enables HR professionals to personalize, digitize and optimize their work processes. According to Ixly CEO Dirk-Jan van de Werfhorst, the challenges in the labor market are so great that a strong talent strategy is a “need to have” for every organization.
“One-sided solutions no longer work; an integrated strategy is all the more.”
Investing in a strong talent strategy is necessary to be and remain attractive and competitive. Making all HR disciplines such as recruitment and Learning & Development work together is crucial, says Van de Werfhorst. “This is exactly what we designed the People Platform for: integrating assessments with complete selection, development or advisory processes supported by analytics at team and organizational levels. This platform is aimed at helping HR professionals achieve more with fewer resources. That was also our central question when developing it. How can you use assessment data in a sustainable way? Because let's face it, you often make a test, game or questionnaire, you look at the report and that's it. But how do you permanently use those insights for organizational, team development or an individual career? With the People Platform, we link data to insights and insights and processes for selecting, developing and retaining people. This is just the beginning; I see that it is moving more and more from testing to the data behind the insights and how to use this in sustainable actions and results. '
With this launch, Ixly, part of the Schouten & Nelissen Group, shows how technology and personalization go hand in hand.
