"@context": "http://schema.org", "@type": "BlogPosting", "headline": "Can You Trust Salesforce and Rypple for Performance Management?", "mainEntityOfPage": "https://marksmith.isg-research.net/2012/03/31/can-you-trust-salesforce-and-rypple-for-performance-management", "datePublished": "30/03/2012", "dateModified": "30/03/2012", "articleBody": "Salesforce has begun to toot its marketing horn about its new capabilities for performance management through its acquisition of Rypple, a provider of software designed for social collaboration for improving employee engagement. I have already discussed this acquisition (See: Salesforce.com looking for a Successful Rypple in Human Capital Management) and have actually signed up for and used the software. Rypple has introduced some great innovations to promote feedback and dialogue between employees and managers. Salesforce has expanded what this software can be used for in an organization with its latest announcement, as it discussed at its Cloudforce conference and posted on YouTube. Rypple has many cutting-edge customers, including Facebook, that are looking for a different approach to talent management processes than that of the traditional HR organizations in well-established industries. However, anyone expecting to use the application to replace existing performance management software will find Salesforce’s announcement to be a little premature based on the state of the application and capabilities. At Cloudforce, Salesforce Chief Operating Officer George Hu talked about using Salesforce Rypple for performance management as a first step to revolutionize HR for the social enterprise. Unfortunately, the picture he painted in his diatribe about work and organizational structures is not representative of the existing methods that the majority of organizations use to manage and engage workforces. His understanding of the dynamics of performance management is completely inaccurate. If he spent some time reviewing the reality he would gain better credibility with the HR organizations that he wants to adopt the application. I would agree with Hu that many aspects of performance reviews need to be improved, but organizations will need a lot more than what Rypple offers to replace the performance management applications and processes in use today. Our research has found that over three quarters of organizations do performance appraisals to more than 80 percent of their workforce and they are definitely not done very often as 60 percent of organizations do them annually. Salesforce did demonstrate some newer capabilities in Rypple, such as integration with Chatter and the ability to easily give thanks to employees publicly across the organization. You can also create and publish goals and objectives that can be easily seen by others. Aligning the workforce to business goals on a more frequent basis is the most important benefit according to 81 percent of organizations in our performance management for talent management benchmark research. In addition providing visibility into progress towards performance goals and targets was the most important management capability for performance management. If your organization uses Salesforce Chatter, you can use Rypple to help promote many tasks and information including your organization’s recruitment needs as Salesforce promoted at Cloudforce through social networking – but you could already do this with Chatter. Rypple engages employees through a Facebook wall-type environment and lets employees earn electronic badges and achievements that others can see, much like what you can do in Foursquare by checking into a variety of locations. These capabilities are part of the future of employee engagement and providing a better daily and weekly task based environment that can be shared and provide recognition for accomplishments. The challenge for those evaluating Salesforce for talent management is whether the company is really ready to address the full range of most organizations’ existing performance management processes, let alone begin to step into the larger portfolio of human capital-related processes that must be managed by software. Our benchmark research confirms that performance management is very important for talent management in 63 percent of organizations. But Salesforce has not even integrated the Rypple website into its own yet, but it is already claiming it can replace existing applications and revolutionize performance management. Salesforce is great at marketing but traditionally has lacked in understanding buyers’ environments and helping them bridge into a new approach or complement existing efforts. At Cloudforce, Salesforce used Living Social, a mid-sized organization, as a Rypple customer reference. That company’s spokesperson, the senior vice president of human resources, was previously an HR executive at Salesforce, according to LinkedIn, which might suggest some bias in the credibility of the deployment and claims. Salesforce should have disclosed her previous role. Salesforce could gain more credibility by promoting one of its loyal partners that delivers human capital management applications. Jobscience, which I just assessed, provides recruiting, onboarding, human resources and even learning capabilities built on the Salesforce cloud computing-based platform and tools. I found a lot more to Jobscience than meets the eye, and I’m surprised by Salesforce’s lack of promotion of a partner that has proven its platform can work for HR managers. Salesforce could easily take a more credible position if it embraced its partner and showed how Rypple and Jobscience fulfill organizations’ needs in human capital management. Especially since the integration of performance management with the rest of talent management is very important in over half (54%) of organizations and having a single and unified platform for doing so is very important to 40 percent of organizations. Salesforce positions itself as an enterprise cloud computing company that enables the social enterprise. Its flagship CRM solution is used by marketing, sales and customer service professionals. I am not sure Salesforce is ready to expand into broader human capital management yet, even though it has hired some industry folks who have experience in enterprise applications. Gaining credibility with buyers, consultants and industry influencers requires a lot more work than what the company has shown so far. Salesforce has encountered this credibility issue before, when it positioned its marketing application to be a lot more than it was, and it proved to be lacking for those that really engage in marketing, from demand generation to web content management. Salesforce has seen its CRM applications successfully adopted for sales and service areas, and it’s now advancing into social collaboration and applications in the cloud. Salesforce Rypple offers a social collaboration based employee engagement application that helps recognize employee achievements and lets managers better interact with employees. If Salesforce had properly positioned the application and its capabilities in this area, it would have gained better credibility with organizations and departments where it already has credibility, such as sales and customer service. Salesforce has tough competition in this area of social collaboration for the workforce; providers that are a lot further along include Saba Social Enterprise application for social collaboration and SuccessFactors Jam. Despite Salesforce’s shortfalls in the way it is communicating Rypple’s capabilities and its failure to promote partners that could better meet customer needs, the Rypple application has some worthwhile advancements to embrace employee engagement that are worth examining. As I pointed out in our 2012 research agenda for human capital management, it will be important to empower the mobile and social workforce to best retain your talent efficiently. Businesses that are looking to adopt a social collaboration and recognition approach as a component of their overall performance management effort should examine Salesforce Rypple.

Many such applications focus on talent management for use after employees are hired, but vendors also need to streamline tasks for recruiters, HR administrators and hiring managers. Jobscience provides software that simplifies the processes of getting the talent you want to hire ready to work as quickly as possible. Jobscience provides a suite of applications that cover recruiting, onboarding, learning and managing of employees. The company uses a foundation of Salesforce.com CRM applications and translates those applications for the needs of human capital management. For example, a marketing application is like sourcing candidates, a sales application is like recruiting candidates and the service application is like managing employees in human resources. Jobscience‘s application suite the TalentCloud has a set of key applications such as RecruiterDesktop, Manager Desktop and Employee Portal that take this approach. I like what Jobscience has done in recruiting, including linkage to social media, which is a critical place to access potential talent. Our benchmark research into social recruiting found that integration into places like LinkedIn is the most important social media channel for half of organizations and is used on a daily and weekly basis more often than any other source. Jobscience’s integration with LinkedIn addresses the demand that our research found from more than half of organizations to change how they recruit over the next year, and their number one factor is to identify new talent pools. JobScience TalentCloud2, released in November, brings many points of advancement. In recruiting it has expanded creating job applications,searching and, as I already mentioned, its Apply with Linkedin capabilities. It adds capabilities to create forms that can be used for a range of surveys for input of critical employee-related information. Jobscience also extended its partner framework in its Application Exchange to help drive further integration with its applications in social networking, recruiting, HR and general employee productivity areas. The software also provides automatic tracking of Equal Employment Opportunity data to help ensure proper compliance. Once a candidate is deemed hired, Jobscience provides simple onboarding capabilities using a central population of information on the candidate that includes tax, benefits and company policy information. For existing employees or to transition a candidate toemployee, the core HR software provides many places to service employees, and has position management capabilities, with a common place for job roles and definitions that can be centrally managed. That’s part of the way the software addresses the need for employee master data management, which our research still finds a big issue in streamlining HR tasks. It also helps ensure that employees take the right level of regulatory and company training, and with more than 30,000 training titles to pick from, it can help ensure that an organization has mitigated any risk of actions or issues in the organization. Because Jobscience uses Salesforce as its platform and technology provider, it can take advantage of that suite’s support for mobile technology, and of Salesforce Chatter for social networking and collaboration. By partnering with Salesforce.com and using its cloud computing platform and applications as the basis for its solution, Jobscience eliminated a significant amount of R&D work. Jobscience can embrace other advancements that Salesforce brings to market, from integration of social networking technology like Chatter to using its analytics and reports. And organizations can build additional applications in Force.com that can be used in conjunction with Jobscience. Organizations can also look at the broader set of applications that are part of Salesforce Appexchange to connect a series of cloud-based applications. A good example of further integration is the way Jobscience integrated with Dinero for expense management; the solution utilizes each employee’s manager information to gain approval and integrate into the workflow of approval and review. However, Jobscience must improve its workforce analytics which use on Salesforce’s capabilities, which lack the flexibility and sophistication that are required to address what our workforce analytics benchmark has found to be one of the most important areas of improvement for HR. Unfortunately, public support for Jobscience from Salesforce has been limited. The company seems to think that its acquisition of Rypple will help it address the broader talent management market. While Rypple has value for social recognition and collaboration for achieving goals and tasks within the context of performance management, it is nowhere close to offering what Jobscience has in its solutions as I just assessed (See: Can You Trust Salesforce and Rypple for Performance Management?). Salesforce customers have voted for Jobscience as the best recruiting and HR application in Appexchange for more than three years. When you consider the number of organizations whose sales and customer service teams use Salesforce, it’s obvious the benefit of a connection to recruiting and hiring talent and providing employees with tools to improve their skills. Salesforce should promote Jobscience to gain better credibility in the market and to have a better foot into human capital management. Jobscience should also communicate the value of its approach for customer service and sales organizations that use Salesforce in order to gain more entry points for its recruiting and onboarding offerings. For some people, Jobscience is a new name in human capital management, but it is actually a proven provider helping to extend the science of recruiting and managing employees. This company has been operating for more than a decade, and has more than 300 customers and has helped in the recruitment of more than half a million jobs. Lately Jobscience has begun to get more aggressive in its marketing; it recently offered Taleo Business Edition customers a path and incentive to migrate, since it is not clear how much of a priority that software will be with Oracle’s acquisition of Taleo, as I have already discussed. As outlined in our public research agenda, the goal of recruiting and retaining talent and empowering employees with mobile and social capabilities and a common place for workforce information should be at the center of every HR organization’s mission. Jobscience’s approach to extending its applicant tracking software to social media channels is the top software approach found in 49 percent of organizations. Its applications’ simplicity and usability and its use of cloud computing makes it easy for organizations to sign up and get started. Jobscience is worth a closer look.
