People make it possible
Like any business, we're under pressure to attract, engage and retain the best talent. We're facing widespread labour shortages and shared difficulties developing strong skills pipelines. We have five generations in the workplace now, each with different needs, priorities and values. Bringing on new employees is expensive, as is attrition, incurring financial costs and impacts in institutional knowledge.
But the stakes are high and clear: We won't succeed as a business unless we have amazing people and an enduring talent strategy.
Building a talent advantage
It is our goal to overcome talent challenges and be a world-class employer. To do so, we've developed solutions to serve employees from hire to retire, all on the ServiceNow platform.
We've automated and accelerated the recruiting and hiring process with tools like Approval Central, which makes approvals quick, easy and available wherever hiring managers are. When employees begin their ServiceNow journey, our orientation and onboarding processes kick in. These are highly orchestrated experiences designed for great first impressions and to simplify what are typically overwhelming moments in workers' lives. In fact, we've reduced the number of manual steps per new hire by 70%.
Once employees are fully onboarded, they benefit from a suite of solutions to engage, reward and help employees learn and grow. These include a unified hub for information and resources, citizen developer training programmes to build coding skills, a streamlined portal for learning with personalised recommendations and a place to give and receive widely visible recognition.
We've seen a 95% success rate from more than 1.7 million virtual agent conversations employees have had to address on-demand needs, while more than two-thirds (70%) of our employees use our learning platform every month. When employees are ready to move on, they experience an offboarding process as streamlined as onboarding and a welcoming alumni centre to stay in touch.
Raising the bar
As a growing company, we know how important our people are. That's why we've invested in homegrown solutions that help employees be productive, provide opportunities to develop new skills and make employees feel happy to work at ServiceNow. We are proud of the results we've achieved so far and will continue to set new standards through our talent organisation.
