Engage and Retain Your Workforce
Whether you are looking to identify your future leaders, drive better performance or build bench strength in critical roles, Saba’s Retain package can help you create a positive, sustainable culture and competitive advantage by engaging, developing and retaining your talent pool. The Retain package is a unified solution for modern goals, performance and compensation management combined with career development and succession planning powered by predictive analytics. The combination of features is far more powerful than the sum of its parts — giving your employees a unified experience, your managers a one-stop shop for managing teams, and your HR team a powerful way to manage pay for performance and identify future leaders in a single solution.
According to Bersin by Deloitte Research, only 7% of HR and business leaders feel they are effective at driving and improving engagement and retention, and 58% of executives believe that their current performance management approach drives neither employee engagement nor high performance.1
Traditional ways of managing talent, performance and career paths are clearly holding organizations back. Saba’s own Employee Development Survey, conducted in September of 2015,2 showed:
• Nearly half (49%) of HR leaders agreed that retention and leadership development programs were the top priority among talent management goals, but companies

Transform Employee
Performance Management
Are you ready to go beyond traditional performance management processes to alleviate frustrations felt by managers and employees, saving them time and helping drive team performance and engagement? Modern 21st-century employee performance
management is transforming to support more frequent, contextual and transparent feedback. Traditional rear-view mirror, once-a-year rerear-views and assessments are giving way to more forward-looking, continuous performance enablement.
Saba’s Performance@Work with its embedded social and collaboration tools enhances teamwork, encourages peer feedback, and makes intelligent recommendations about content, ideas and people that boost productivity. Managers are empowered with team dashboards to track progress on goals, motivate with social rewards, and provide ongoing coaching and development.

Find Future Stars
If you needed to find people inside your organization with a specific skill set, expertise or experience, would you know where to look or how to find them?
Most organizations find it easier to recruit new talent from the outside than to find the right talent internally. Saba gives you the tools and visibility you need to find the future stars in your organization. With a robust, universal profile that contains both formal talent management information and a record of content and contributions, Saba makes it easy to find the right talent for fast-track management programs and leadership development. Management and HR teams can look at formal performance vs. potential ratings in a classic 9-box grid or they can rely on the social network to surface hidden rock stars and crowd source talent pool creation based on recommendations from people throughout the organization. Interactive dashboards provide managers the real-time visibility into their talent pools, identifying high-potentials and rising stars as well as departure risks and ways to mitigate the risks.
Saba’s Succession@Work capabilities provide a more personalized, proactive and scalable approach to career planning and succession management made possible now with machine learning, which identifies high-potential employees, lets them chose career paths tailored to their unique preferences, and automatically creates talent pools for all positions. Saba’s self-service career planning capabilities enable all employees to map their career paths based on their aspirations and preferences, providing “what if” scenario analysis tools to explore multiple career paths as options. Furthermore, helping employees reach their potential with personalized plans and recommendations, TIM, The Intelligent Mentor, acts as a personalized career counselor. As it gets smarter about the people, career aspirations, positions, and skills, TIM will recommend skills users should acquire and experts that users should follow.

Reward and Compensate
Intelligently
Determining and providing the right compensation for each person, whether it takes the form of base pay, merit pay, or variable pay and incentives, is critical to being able to engage and retain top talent. In today’s economy many companies are unable to retain their high-potential employees and stars as the compensation cycle has become a time-consuming and costly process, unable to proactively identify at-risk employees and provide personalized recommendations — not to mention challenges implementing effective pay for performance. The results are undesired attrition, inefficiency, deep frustration for both the business and HR, limited governance, and in many cases, unnecessary costs. Saba brings a fresh approach to compensation management to help
organizations make better decisions and retain their high-performing workforce. Saba’s Compensation@Work improves transparency by helping managers adhere to compensation guidelines while empowering them to effectively use available budgets for recognizing top performers. You can design effective plans aligned with the business strategy and reward your workforce accurately and fairly, based on real, measurable performance, truly linking pay to performance.
Going beyond merit-matrix, Saba leverages prescriptive analytics to identify employees at risk of leaving by sifting through dozens of signals in the business to net out the intersection between pay, value and risk. Saba then recommends personalized incentives to reward and retain those valued employees. But, it doesn’t stop there. Managers often struggle to justify the incentives needed to retain the most valuable and sought-after employees to impersonal approvers who may not understand the complexities of the talent landscape. Saba’s Compensation@Work addresses this by comparing the cost of the incentives to retain an employee to the specific costs to replace that employee. In most jobs and markets, the difference is significant, and makes the justification much easier. Strategic compensation

Team Engagement and
Development
While Gallup3 found less than one-third (31.5%) of U.S. workers were engaged in their jobs in 2014, Dale Carnegie Survey4 concluded that the ability to engage and retain valuable employees has a significant impact on an organization’s bottom line. In fact, some studies have found that organizations with a highly engaged workforce can realize up to 52% improvement in operating income and 3.9x higher earnings per share (EPS) than their peers.
With Saba’s Retain package, organizations have the tools needed to increase employee engagement. By putting collaboration and prescriptive analytics at the core of performance management, social learning, compensation, and career and succession planning, Saba built an Intelligent Talent Management platform so that employees can grow to their full potential. Impressions from coworkers and badges for exceptional performance are powerful engagement tools that are easily pulled into performance reviews and employee reward programs.
