SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 13, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Jeitosa Group International has released the findings of its fourth Going Global with HR Survey. The annual survey is supported by the International Association of Human Resource Information Management (IHRIM), as well as several leading global human resource management and payroll vendors. According to Karen Beaman, Jeitosa CEO and Lead Analyst for the survey, "Jeitosa's survey is designed to uncover leading practices in global human capital management by evaluating trends in global HR strategy, organizational design, business processes, people/culture, and technology." The report is available from Jeitosa's website, and the results will be discussed in a series of webinars starting with an IHRIM-sponsored webinar on December 14, 2011.
Responses show that international organizations are seeing global results in improved talent development (31%) and enhanced business performance (38%), increasing 30% and 10%, respectively, over the last three years. There has also been an 25% increase in on-the-job training through job rotations and special cross-functional assignments over formal classroom training. From an HRIS perspective, the survey shows that, while SaaS technology has long been a major alternative for talent management solutions, SaaS solutions are now moving into the mainstream for global Core HR, Benefits and Payroll with 49% growth over the last three years, driven primarily by Workday's new SaaS offering.
On the other hand, the study unveils certain inconsistencies within global companies. Most significantly, there is a strong gap between global technology capabilities and global business processes. While 61% of organizations have implemented global technology, only 50% of organizations have 100% of their workforce on a single global system and only 41% have deployed global business processes across the organization. There appears to be a significant lost opportunity with organizations deploying global technology, but not yet able to effectively leverage the global functionality and achieve the results of improved talent development and enhanced business performance.
