Our weekly web mingle is designed to give you some insight into the puzzling world of HR technology, discuss news from around the world that we find interesting, talk about upcoming events in our industry, and provide insightful interviews with people of our industry – who they are, what they do and why you should care. The WebMingle has become the most popular live weekly Internet show in the HR technology industry!
So what is a WebMingle? It is a meeting over the web where we do some business, socialize and yes, we mingle over the web. Thus, a WebMingle.
The 45-minute WebMingle on June 19th, the 25th in our WebMingle series, featured Dave Watkins, CEO and Co-Founder with Softscape. It was another fascinating WebMingle and Dave has great insight and passion for Talent Management Systems, HR, and his company. We touched on a number of issues related to those topics including:
- What does HR need today and what HR will need tomorrow
- How social networking has changed the game
- Softscape’s take on SaaS in regards to HR technology
- What it takes to support a truly global technology implementation
- What type of data should be included in the system of record for employee information
- What the market landscape will look like over the next 12-18 months
- How Softscape has contributed to the HR Technology Market
- The future of HR technology
- …and more
