Talent management specialist uses InfoBasisí skills management technology to broaden offering

InfoBasis, the skills management expert, has teamed up with public sector talent management specialist, JGP to enable public sector bodies to adopt a more strategic approach when conducting workforce development planning.

JGP is deploying InfoBasis technology to help public sector organisations better analyse and monitor the skills of current employees and make more informed decisions when recruiting staff. Some of the first areas to realise the partnership benefits will be in children services, customer relations and the development of leadership capacity.

ìThe Gershon Review coupled with the Pay & Workforce Strategy have placed a huge responsibility on the public sector to improve its efficiency,î says Michael Douglas, skills portal business manager for JGP.

ìThis partnership allows public sector bodies to address issues around HR and their development as an organisation in a more coherent manner. A clear understanding of their staff and the work they do will give organisations a real platform to improve the quality of public services they offer.î

ìEffective recruitment is about knowing what you have in the first place,î said Ashley Wheaton, CEO of InfoBasis. ìAssessing skills throughout an organisation is critical to its success. This is particularly true in the public sector, which is increasingly under pressure to implement coherent workforce development strategies.î
