SilkRoad Technology, Inc. Announces General Availability of Point

SilkRoad Technology, Inc. announced the general availability of Point. The employee-centric social talent management solution connects employees to each other and their organization by uniting the popular features of social networking with talent management. SilkRoad Point gives employees the forum they need to share expertise and be recognized by peers and leaders while simultaneously helping companies to better understand what and who is driving their business. Employers often have a limited view of what employees are actually doing as job descriptions and performance reviews don't always accurately depict employees' knowledge and contributions across the organization. With Point, organizations can increase knowledge and insight through the use of social collaboration and learning. Employees identify centers of influence by contributor, content and topic. As a result, organizations create a self-motivating culture where employees can be identified and recognized for their influence and recognize others for their contributions. Features include: people and connections, groups, content, points and influence, and integrated learning platform.
