WORK - 5 Attributes of a World-Class Workforce

There's a technology-driven revolution happening in HR these days. It's called self-service and it gives employees more power over their careers.

With a private log-in, employees can now manage their own payroll and retirement plans, request time-off and other schedule adjustments, book on-line courses and other learning and development tools, engage and be social with colleagues on intranets, and just generally manage their own work lives to an extent that was previously impossible. This leads to more engaged, empowered and productive teams.
