Software fits well for casual-wear company
Article Type: Notes and news From: Industrial and Commercial Training, Volume 44, Issue 7
Mainland China’s largest casual-wear company has selected new software to support a multi-stage talent-management strategy for its 20,000 employees.
Metersbonwe has grown rapidly since it was established in 1995. To cope with this expansion, it needed an integrated solution to address the increasing training and talent-management requirements of the workforce.
The company needed a solution that not only serves as a delivery platform for learning resources, but also enables the company to manage its talent database, communication with employees, employees’ learning paths and career development.
“After several months of evaluating potential vendors, we chose the NetDimensions Talent Suite because its features and capabilities fit our talent-management strategy”, said Wu Yue, general manager of Metersbonwe University.
Metersbonwe has divided its talent management strategy into three stages, starting with online learning and examinations for all its employees at directly operated chain stores and subsidiaries.
The second stage will target the company’s training managers at headquarters and regional training centres, focusing on optimising blended-training strategies.
Finally, the company will set up a competency model that matches talent development programs with learning resources to help to develop HR and business-training personnel.
“We are much honoured that Metersbonwe has chosen to work with the NetDimensions team in achieving the goals of its talent-management strategy”, noted Charles Cheng, NetDimensions’ General Manager for China.
“I hope that the confidence that Metersbonwe has placed in our products and services provides a strong message to the market that NetDimensions’ solutions enable not only retail companies in China, but organizations across other industries as well, to successfully manage their learning and performance-management programs in a fully integrated manner”.
