Brandon Hall Group Releases 2 New Research Studies on DataNow™

DELRAY BEACH, Fla. - Oct. 23, 2014 - PRLog -- Brandon Hall Group (http://www.brandonhall.com) today made two additional research studies – Workforce Management 2014 and The State of Talent Acquisition 2014 – available on DataNow™ (http://go.brandonhall.com/datanow), an exclusive new platform that gives users direct access to propriety, primary research data. The data can be filtered by market size, revenue, geography and organizational performance.

DataNow™, which is available through Brandon Hall Group’s membership program, will soon feature more than 125,000 data points from research studies in all of the research/analyst firm’s HCM practices – Learning and Development, Talent Management, Leadership Development, Talent Acquisition, and HR/Workforce Management.

“DataNow™ allows us to get research results to our members much faster than before,” Brandon Hall Group CEO Mike Cooke said. “For instance, our Workforce Management study was still in the field earlier this month. And they don’t just get results – members can display and filter the results the way they want. It’s research just in time, just for you. Members have more control, but they still can get our reports and advice and guidance from our analyst team.”

The 2014 Workforce Management Study, completed this month and developed by Mollie Lombardi, VP and Principal Analyst for the Workforce Management Practice, shows that while workforce management has emerged as a critical concern for organizations, only 32% are using workforce analytics tools regularly.

The State of Talent Acquisition survey shows that only 21% of organizations believe their talent acquisition efforts are more than moderately effective and 64% of organizations are operating with only a casual or developing talent acquisition process, without even a high-level strategy in place to guide their hiring decisions and initiatives.

All results from both studies can be accessed directly by users with a Brandon Hall Group Ultimate Membership and can be filtered for their needs and exported for presentations.

DataNow™ includes the following features:

•       Access to Brandon Hall Group's proprietary and primary research data.

•       Timely, relevant HCM data, filtered by market size, revenue, geography and organizational performance.

•       Industry-specific research studies, including high-tech, public sector, professional services, healthcare, manufacturing, and education.

•       Ability to compare and contrast data points from leading HCM practices across high-performing organizations.

•       Ability to conduct custom research projects internally.

•       Ability to share data -- the right data -- with colleagues, customers, clients and partners.
