SAS Human Capital Management Helps Banca Carige to Retain Employees and Save Costs 2006-07-06 02:43:24 SAS Institute

Banca Carige, one of the oldest banks in Italy, wanted a way to identify which of their employees were most likely to resign, because these people take their valuable knowledge and skills along with them when they go - assets that are expensive and time-consuming to quantify and replace. Discovering the underlying reasons that prompt employees to leave and then designing effective strategies that encourage them to stay is the critical success factor for the bank. With the predictive modelling capabilities of SAS Human Capital Management, Banca Carige is able to identify the key employees most likely to leave and to act upon the information to retain them.

SumTotal Systems Case Study: The Institute of Motor Industry (IMI) 2006-06-29 05:02:28 SumTotal Systems

To be successful, the IMI needed to provide a solution to their clients, which would ease the administrative burden and allow fast, secure and accurate skills assessment. Using SumTotal's solution, the IMI developed their Online Assessment System, which met the three most important requirements for assessment of candidates: reliability, assessments on-demand, and validity. By developing assessments in SumTotal's desktop authoring tool, ToolBook, the IMI was able to produce a large databank of questions to draw from to automatically generate unique tests for every candidate. The SumTotal solution has been a key differentiator for IMI against other awarding bodies because it allows the training organization and Further Education colleges who offer IMI qualifications a fast, accessible and simple way of gathering "Underpinning knowledge" of each candidate.

The county needed consistent training for all employees and information for the professionals who continually refine and optimize employee programs. Maricopa County's desire to provide the highest possible standards in public service and to ease the administrative overhead of training led it to SumTotal's Learning Management System (LMS) for a comprehensive online learning environment.
